No more playin' 20 questions though
Your lips are movin' I don't hear a word
My mouth is dry you know my vision's blurred
I just can't recall ever being this damn high
You're calling it my downfall
I said I'ma just enjoy this ride
Cause when my frontal lobe is impaired
There ain't no feelin' that I can compare
But I love when I wake up and I don't see your ass there
My poor decisions got the best of me
You might look good, but I got no time for your bullshit
You might look good, but I got no time for your bullshit
Well I swore up and down that I never asked her to stay
I might have caught a buzz when I seen her lookin' at me that way
I'll say goodbye to my common senses
When you give me that eye I'm suddenly wreckless
Cause when my frontal lobe is impaired
There ain't no feelin' that I can compare
But I love when I wake up and I don't see your ass there
My poor decisions got the best of me
You might look good, but I got no time for your bullshit
You might look good, but I got no time for your bullshit
Cause when my frontal lobe is impaired
There ain't no feelin' that I can compare
But I love when I wake up and I don't see your ass there
My poor decisions got the best of me
You might look good, but I got no time for your bullshit
You might look good, but I got no time for your bullshit
In Kyle Smith's song "No Time," the lyrics reflect a sense of detachment and indifference towards a romantic relationship. The singer expresses a preference for short-lived encounters rather than engaging in deeper emotional connections by saying, "You know I love it when they come and go." This suggests that they enjoy the excitement and thrill of temporary relationships without the burden of long-term commitment.
The lyrics also reveal a lack of interest in emotionally investing in the relationship. The singer mentions not wanting to engage in "20 questions" or pay attention to their partner's words, indicating a disconnection from meaningful communication. They feel distant and disconnected, with their vision blurred and their mouth dry, possibly alluding to a state of intoxication or being under the influence.
The chorus reflects a contradiction in the singer's mindset. They acknowledge the potential consequences of their lifestyle choices, admitting that they may be experiencing a downfall, but they choose to embrace the ride and enjoy the temporary highs without considering the long-term implications.
The second verse reveals the singer's conflicting emotions. They claim not to have asked their partner to stay, but also confess to being swayed by their seductive gaze. This suggests a struggle between a desire for the temporary pleasure and the awareness that it may lead to regret and poor decision-making.
In the repetition of the chorus, the singer reiterates their detachment and lack of time for the partner's "bullshit." The phrase "bullshit" implies a disregard for any emotional baggage or complications that may arise from a committed relationship. They acknowledge the disruption caused by their poor decisions but emphasize their prioritization of personal freedom and independence.
Overall, "No Time" explores the singer's preference for temporary encounters over meaningful connections and their willingness to embrace the consequences of their choices while remaining detached from emotional commitments. The lyrics reflect a desire to live in the moment and prioritize personal pleasure without concern for the potential long-term effects.
