Born in Connecticut and raised in Coral Springs, Florida, Dion comes from a musical background; his father is a rapper and his maternal grandfather was a well-known Portuguese singer. Music was his passion and focus from a young age and after being featured on Kehlani's 2014 mixtape Cloud Nineteen, he relocated to Los Angeles. Within L.A.'s vibrant scene, he found his footing, and released the 2016 EP Painting Sounds. Presenting a bright panoply of pop, R&B, funk, and soul, Dion spent the next three years issuing eclectic, catchy singles like "Baby Esther" and the falsetto-heavy ballad "Brown," the latter of which became the heavily streamed standout of his 2019 debut album Suga. Appearing two years later, his full-length follow-up, Sassy, embraced his playful, fun-loving attitude. 2022 saw Dion team up with Zimbabwean-Australian rapper Tkay Maidza on the slinky single "Hazy."
No Strings
Kyle Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Regardless of our youth, time still played it's role
As I'm headin' on down hotel lobby
She just wrote me back, she ain't comin' back
So I'm just slowly coming loose
I'm blowing through these clouds
You let go of my string
I'm all dried out
Maybe it's by design
I see the signs
You don't want me no mo'
You don't love me no mo'
You don't love me no mo'
She don't love me no mo'
Well I'm flying 'cause she let go
(She don't love you)
Diesel gas in my Dutch
Step out front, car pulls up
Where she at? Undisclosed
Losin' hope, broken home
She's probably backseat fuckin' on the east side, yeah
You sure know how to make my day
You sure know how to break my faith
Becomin' a stranger
I did my best to turn it around
But I couldn't tame ya
Back to the house, yeah we called it home
Until now
Ain't no way to go
Ain't nowhere to go
I'm just floating, cut me loose
I'm blowing through these clouds
You let go of my string (Let go my string, what did you do?)
Crazy, must be fucking crazy (Ooh)
I'm all dried out
Maybe it's by design
I see the signs
You don't love me no mo'
You don't love me no mo'
You don't love me no mo'
She don't love me no mo'
I tried, ooh
But she let go (She let it go)
She don't love me no mo'
She don't want me no mo'
She, she don't need me no mo'
She, she don't trust me no mo'
Oh, we ain't nothin' no mo'
Ain't, ain't got nothin' no mo'
She don't love me no mo'
She don't want me no mo'
Oh, she don't want me no mo'
She don't trust me no mo'
The lyrics to Kyle Dion's song "No Strings" describe the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is reflecting on the loss of his partner, who has chosen to let go of him and move on. The song opens with the singer acknowledging his own success and wealth, but recognizing that time has still played a role in the end of his relationship. He is currently in a hotel, receiving a message from his ex-partner that confirms that she will not be returning. The chorus repeats that she no longer loves him and has let him go.
The remainder of the song details the singer's feelings of frustration, heartbreak and confusion. He claims to feel "crazy" and "all dried out," suggesting that the loss has left him feeling adrift and without purpose. The second verse implies that his partner may have moved on with someone else, perhaps even engaging in sexual activity that he finds disturbing. He speaks of returning to a home that no longer feels like a home and describes his situation as having "nowhere to go."
"No Strings" is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of a broken heart. Kyle Dion's lyrics describe the feeling of moving through life without direction following the end of a meaningful relationship. The emotional range of the song is captured in Dion's vocal performance, which shifts between melancholic and angry.
