Common Ground
Kissi Eyja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going going insane
I need to know if you're with someone else
I wanna know all about your background story
And if we could get it going on
Why carry all of that weight on your own
If you need a hand or two
Just let me know
That you can grow
I got this feeling
Not so long ago
I've been playing around
The loving I feel is out of bounds
All my bitches south
Yeah
I've been playing around
Looking around
For common ground
You know it
I get so tempted
When you run around
You know it
Cause God created
This magnetic field
Afraid to jump
But what is there to lose
If the storyline needs change
I'll make a move
From east to west
I'll give you what I've got
So we can get it going on
Why carry all of that weight on your own
If you need a hand or two
Just let me know
Now let me plant a seed
That you can grow
I got this feeling
Not so long ago
I've been playing around
The loving I feel is out of bounds
All my bitches south
Yeah
I've been playing around
Looking around
For common ground
You know it
I get so tempted
When you run around
You know it
Cause God created
This magnetic field
I've been playing around
The loving I feel is out of bounds
All my bitches south
Yeah
I've been playing around
Looking around
For common ground
You know it
I get so tempted
When you run around
You know it
Cause God created
This magnetic field
You know it
I get so tempted
When you run around
You know it
Cause God created
This magnetic field
Girl now you know
Yeah girl you know it
Girl yeah you know
At its core, the song “Common Ground” by Kissi Eyja is about the difficulty of maintaining a relationship when there is a lack of trust between partners. The singer is struggling with jealousy and insecurity, wondering if their partner is seeing someone else or hiding something from their past. They want to help their partner carry the weight of their emotional baggage and build a deeper connection, but feel like they’re not on the same page. The repeated refrain “I’ve been playing around, looking around, for common ground” encapsulates this feeling of searching for a shared understanding and a way to bridge the gap between them.
The singer acknowledges their own shortcomings and describes the intense feelings they have for their partner, while also acknowledging that they’ve been unfaithful in the past. They compare their desire for their partner to a magnetic field, suggesting that they’re both drawn to each other but hesitant to commit fully. In the end, the singer is hopeful that they can work through their issues and find a way to move forward together.
Overall, the song combines catchy pop melodies with emotionally resonant lyrics, creating a powerful portrait of a relationship in turmoil.
