Been A Minute
Leyma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ninth letter
Ninth letter, miss you
Third vowel
Third vowel, miss you
Ninth letter
Ninth letter, miss you
It's been a minute too long
It's been a piece
It's been a minute too long
It's been a piece
It's been a minute too long
It's been a piece
It's been a minute too long
But, it's been a piece
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a minute, since
Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a piece
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a minute, since
Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
How you look like that?
How do you look like that?
How you look like that?
How do you look like that? Huh
My bed lays desolate
And my head stays twisted
I'm the prototype of an outcast
On my Jackson, ain't seen my missus
Been on my jives
And I ain't seen my rose
It's a shame the way the saying goes
That you're in bad company
When you're alone
Well I'm gon' pull up every memory
On my English rose
While the sky turns butter
I'll get lost in your nine letters
(Your nine letters)
'Cause you don't need to be cryptic
Addicted to missing my point
'Cause I know that I'm better
(I'm better)
When you're there beside me
('Side me, 'side me, 'side me, 'side)
Passenger in side seat
(Side seat, side seat, side seat, side)
Dust from dashboard
Pink sky, pink sky
Why lie? Fiasco
But, it's been a piece
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a minute, since
Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a piece
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a minute, since
Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
How you look like that
When was the last time? That we build it up
When was the last time? That I gave a fuck
When was the last time? Didn't have a drink in me
When was the last time? You weren't so fucking busy
When was the last time? I didn't chase a clock
When was the last time? That I felt a lot
When was the last time? Make that three hundred try
When was the last time? That I held your hand
It's been a piece
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a minute, since
Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a piece
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
It's been a minute, since
Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
How you look like that?
How do you look like that?
How you look like that?
How do you look like that? Huh
I guess we'll never know
The lyrics of Leyma's "been a minute" are filled with longing and nostalgia for a past relationship. The repeated lines of "Third vowel, miss you / Ninth letter / Ninth letter, miss you/ Third vowel / Third vowel, miss you / Ninth letter / Ninth letter, miss you" suggest the singer's desperate attempts to connect with their loved one, through cryptic codes or secret messages. The repeated phrases "It's been a minute too long" and "I just wanna hold your hand" further heighten this sense of longing, as the singer laments the distance and time that have separated them from their beloved.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of societal expectations, as the singer feels like an outcast for being alone, and fears being judged for it. Yet, they find solace in remembering the good times they shared with their partner, as they reminisce about "pull(ing) up every memory" of their "English rose." The ending lines of the song - "How do you look like that? Huh / I guess we'll never know" - further emphasize the singer's sense of loss and confusion, as they struggle to come to terms with the end of their relationship.

It's been a piece

It's been a long time
But, it's been a piece

My bed lays desolate
My bed is empty
And my head stays twisted
My mind is in turmoil
I'm the prototype of an outcast
I'm a loner and an outsider
On my Jackson, ain't seen my missus
I haven't seen my partner in a while
Been on my jives
I've been doing my own thing
And I ain't seen my rose
I haven't seen my loved one
It's a shame the way the saying goes
It's unfortunate how the saying is true
That you're in bad company
It's not good to be alone
When you're alone
It's not good to be alone
Well I'm gon' pull up every memory
I'm going to remember everything
On my English rose
About my loved one
While the sky turns butter
As the sun sets
I'll get lost in your nine letters
I'll get lost in your name
'Cause you don't need to be cryptic
You don't need to be mysterious
Addicted to missing my point
You keep missing my message
'Cause I know that I'm better
I'm better with you around
When you're there beside me ('Side me, 'side me, 'side me, 'side)
When you're next to me
Passenger in side seat (Side seat, side seat, side seat, side)
Sitting next to me
Dust from dashboard Pink sky, pink sky Why lie? Fiasco
Taking a drive, enjoying the view
When was the last time? That we build it up
When did we last work on our relationship?
When was the last time? That I gave a fuck
When did I last care about anything?
When was the last time? Didn't have a drink in me
When did I last have a sober moment?
When was the last time? You weren't so fucking busy
When were you last not too busy?
When was the last time? I didn't chase a clock
When was I last not racing against time?
When was the last time? That I felt a lot
When was the last time I felt a lot of emotions?
Make that three hundred try
Trying repeatedly
When was the last time? That I held your hand
When did I last hold your hand?
How you look like that? Huh
How are you so beautiful?
I guess we'll never know
It seems we'll never find out
