Eviction Notice
Kojaque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my break from the office
Susan made me a coffee
She was embarrassed and awkward
Couldn't steady my breathing
I keep my heart in my pocket
Spill my guts to the bookie
I meant to reach for my wallet
I put my pants through the wash
That keeps my cardio steady
And I've been doing that gym shit
Thought I told you already
Must have been in a dream
I'm losing track of my thoughts
Put my pants back on
I put my heart through the wash
(I put my heart through the wash)
Dream deep, heavy sleeper
Brace myself for the dark
Dream light, heavy heart
Dream light, heavy
Dream deep, heavy sleeper
Brace myself for the dark
Dream light, heavy heart
Dream ladadada
Dream deep, heavy sleeper
Brace myself for the dark
Dream light, heavy heart
Dream light, heavy
Dream deep, heavy sleeper
Brace myself for the dark
Dream light, heavy heart
Dream ladadadada
(We could have been)
(We could have been baby)
(We could have)
I need you out my mind, girl
'Cause I've got too much time, now
Been working nine to five
They don't pay me squat
To think about what could have been
I need you out my mind, girl
'Cause I've got too much time, now
Been working nine to five
They don't pay me squat
To think about what could have been
I need you out my mind, girl
'Cause I've got too much time, now
Been working nine to five
They don't pay me squat
To think about what could have been
What could have been
We could have been
What could have been
We could have been
What could have been
We could have been
What could have been
We could have been
What could have been
We could have been
The lyrics of Kojaque's song "Eviction Notice" convey a sense of longing and regret. The singer is struggling with letting go of a past relationship and is haunted by the memory of what could have been. The song opens with the singer crying and needing to catch his breath, which reflects the emotional turmoil he is experiencing. He then goes on to describe his mundane life, working a nine-to-five job, and trying to keep his mind occupied so as not to dwell on what he has lost.
There is a sense of detachment in the lyrics, as the singer tries to distract himself from his feelings but cannot help but think about the past. The repetition of the line "We could have been" further emphasizes the regret and the missed opportunities. The dream-like quality of the song adds a layer of introspection, as if the singer is lost in memories and fantasies.
The use of metaphors such as "I put my heart through the wash" and "I keep my heart in my pocket" adds depth to the lyrics, suggesting that the singer is guarding his emotions and trying to protect himself from getting hurt again. The phrase "Dream deep, heavy sleeper" could be interpreted as a call to let go of the past and move on.
Overall, "Eviction Notice" is a poignant and introspective song that captures the feeling of loss and regret in a relationship.

My Favourite Kojaque Tune โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ช๐
@hiraethPB
Everything about this track is damn near perfect. tone, production, lyrics. But that video man, how something can make you feel happiness and loneliness at the same vicariously is fucking masterful.
@joelsteven5925
Have had this song in my top 5's for the last few years. Was lucky enough to see Kojaque supporting Loyle Carner on tour - what an experience it just keeps getting better
@forzadillon08
yooo this shits so good , big up the irish scene
@tommyking8560
Bring it kojaque. Bring that deep expression from the soul that we need!!
@mbrockstar420
Why isn't this song all over the radio?? Fucking love this!!!
@TPLKlein
Shouldโve been Kean and Kojaque as the loving couple in the vid instead
@KojaqueMusic
it was meant to be but it would have been too explicit
@TPLKlein
KOJAQUE if it was your manager that said that, drop him, he clearly doesnโt have the fans interests at heart
@TPLKlein
KOJAQUE and speaking of rough gay sex, whenโs the next album or mix tape out?
