Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't ring me
Don't text me
I won't answer
Don't text me
I won't answer
Couple cases Might consider
Said you'll give me your heart you know
So Put your heart in my palm now
Why?
Cos I'm on right now
That's why I ain't answering my phone right now
Cos I got shit to do
And it's not cos of you
It's because of me
I'm going through some changes
Then I'm off...
Just hold me down
So I don't get lost
But he was last seen by the river
And if I drowned
They would've found
Alcohol in my liver
That thought gave me shivers
You're asking for a lot
You take too much cos I'm a giver
Yeah
I know my losses were forgiven
If it happened then I doubt it's gonna change
I... Knew i needed saving
I know I know
I know...
Yeah I know
Would you go where I go
There's a place there I know
Let's go to this place where I go
Would you follow
Cos I, ohh
Would you follow
Would you follow
Please follow
Just follow
I will be gone
Gone for long
Cos I
Yes I yes I
Would would wait for me ?
Would you wait for me ?
Cos I
Yes I yes I,
I...
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
In the first stanza, the songwriter is expressing their desire for space and solitude. They don't want to be contacted through phone calls or messages, emphasizing that they will not respond. This could be interpreted as a need for personal time or a temporary break from relationships or responsibilities.
In the following lines, the songwriter mentions that there might be certain exceptions or cases where they would be open to communication. However, they urge the other person not to agitate or upset them and instead, to remain calm. They recall a promise of receiving the other person's heart, indicating a close and intimate relationship. They ask the other person to trust them and allow them to hold that heart in their hands, signifying a desire to care for and protect their emotions.
The chorus suggests that the songwriter is currently focused on something important in their life, which is why they are unable to answer their phone. They emphasize that it is not because of the other person, but rather due to their personal obligations or growth. They are experiencing some changes and need support to prevent themselves from getting lost in the process. The mention of being found by a river and the fear of alcohol in their liver implies a dark and dangerous path that could lead to self-destruction.
The songwriter acknowledges that they have made mistakes and suffered losses in the past, but they believe that those burdens have been forgiven. They express doubt that anything would change if similar circumstances were to happen again. They admit to recognizing their need for salvation, and although they know it is necessary, they still struggle with fully accepting it.
In the final stanza, the songwriter asks if the other person would be willing to go on the same journey as them. They mention a specific place they want to go, and they hope for the other person's willingness to follow. They plead for them to follow and that they themselves will be gone for a significant amount of time. Toward the end, the songwriter turns the question around and asks if the other person would wait for them. It implies a reciprocal commitment to standing by each other's side and waiting for one another during various challenges and periods of separation.
