Logan feat. EinarSnow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a while since I've seen you
It's been a while since you've seen me
It's been a while since we were happy as can be
It's been a while since I wished upon a shooting star
It's been a while since we were close rather than far apart
It's been a while since I said your name out loud
And I'm not gonna start again now
Cause you know who you are
You know who you are
That shooting star went and fell from the skies
And I'm not gonna think twice
Because you know who you are
You know who you are
Clouds fade away just as fast as they block out the Sun
I know it's strange, people change, but honey that's everyone
Inspiration, condensation, and a little bit of heartbreak will do
It's been a while since we talked, but the license is still right there to renew
Just so you know who you are
You know who you are
That shooting star didn't have far to fall
No, it didn't take long at all
It fell apart
We fell apart
Fell apart, dimmed the spark, and return to sender
Breakups and makeups and too much of "Love Me Tender"
Woah
Down from the sky
Now I see why
It's so hard to see you
That shooting star was the Sun
And it fell and left the world all dark and cold
The prescription has expired and the light and the love
Now they've both grown old
Cause we thought we knew
Knew who we were
We knew who we were
That door wasn't slammed, it was burned to floor
But now I'm not sure anymore
Cause you know who you are
You know who you are
Even a blind man could see what we've turned out to be
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore




Cause you know who you are
You know who you are

Line by Line Meaning

I don’t really miss you
I am not longing for your presence


I just wanna to hold you
I have the urge to embrace you physically


I just want to tell you all you all the things I’m not supposed to
I have some things to confess to you, which are forbidden or taboo


Maybe just your family
Perhaps I only miss being around your relatives


I guess sometimes I think about your brother Does he think about me?
Occasionally, I ponder over your sibling's thoughts about me


Does your family ever bring me up At your dinner?
I wonder if your relatives discuss me during your family meals


I really miss those dinners Talking bout our future But now there’s no future...
I genuinely yearn for our past talks about the future, even though it is now non-existent


Funny how our worlds can change When one person gets in the way
It's strange how our lives can transform when a single individual interferes


Yea
Agreed


I just want to love you
I simply desire to express my affection towards you


I just want to whisper all the things I’m not supposed to
I want to secretly convey to you certain thoughts that are not meant to be disclosed


Maybe just the long drives Staying out till midnight Guess this is a goodbye
Perhaps I miss the joy rides and staying up late, but it seems like this is farewell


I don’t really know How to feel right now
I am uncertain of my emotions at this moment


I’m scared cause I’m alone And you’re with him right now
I am frightened as I am alone, while you are presently with someone else


I see that you’re at dinner Does he make you happy Well if he makes you happy
I notice that you're at a meal; does he bring you joy, if so,


Maybe I’m just bitter Jealous that you have him Someone who can make you laugh Like I did
Possibly, I am resentful and envious that you have found someone else, who can do what I used to


Girl you know I miss you Always think about you Guess I really want you Guess that I admit it
You're aware that I am yearning for you, thinking about you persistently, so much so that I must confess it


You’re always on my mind And I’ll say that I’m just fine When really I’m still hurting Oh was it worth it?
I am always thinking about you, pretending that everything is alright when it is not, still in pain, wondering if all of this was worthwhile


Oh I just want to hold you
Oh, I genuinely long to hug you

Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
I place blame when you steal
Place shame when you steal
Feel like you ain't shit
Feel like you don't feel, confidence in yourself
Breakin' on marble floors
Watchin' anonymous strangers tellin' me that I'm yours
But you ain't shit I'm convinced your talent's nothin' special
What can I blame him for
Nigga I can name several
Situation had stopped with your little sister bakin'
A baby inside, just a teenager where's your patience
Whats your intentions where is the influence you speak of
You preached in front of 100, 000 but never reached her
I fuckin' tell you, you fuckin' failure you ain't no leader
I never liked you, forever despise you I don't need you
The world don't need you, don't let them deceive you
Numbers lie too, fuck your pride too, thats for dedication
Thought money would change you, made you more complacent
I fuckin' hate you, I hope you embrace it
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Lovin' you, lovin' you, not lovin' you, one hundred proof
I can feel you vibin', recognize that your ashamed of me
Yes I hate you too
House keeping
Knocks
House keeping
¡Abre la puerta! ¡Abre la puerta tengo que limpiar el cuarto!
¡Es que no hay mucho tiempo tengo que limpiar el cuarto¡! Disculpe!
Are you the reason why mama and them leavin'
No you ain't shit, you say you love them, I know you don't mean it
I know you're irresponsible, selfish, in denial, can't help it
Your trials and tribulations a burden, everyone felt it
Everyone heard it, multiple shots, corners cryin' out
You was deserted, where was your antennas again?
Where was your presence, where was your support that you pretend?
You ain't no brother, you ain't no disciple, you ain't no friend
A friend never leave Compton for profit or leave his best friend
Little brother, you promised you'd watch him before they shot him
Where was your antennas, on the road, bottles and bitches
You faced time the one time, that's unforgiven
You even faced time instead of a hospital visit
You should thought he would recover, well
The surgery couldn't stop the bleeding for real
Then he died, God himself will say "you fuckin' failed"
You ain't try
I know your secrets nigga
Mood swings is frequent nigga
I know depression is restin' on your heart for two reasons nigga
I know you and a couple block boys ain't been speakin' nigga
Y'all damn near beefin', I seen it and your the reason nigga
And if this bottle could talk gulp I cry myself to sleep
Bitch everything is your fault
Faults breakin' to pieces, earthquakes on every weekend
Because you shook as soon as you knew confinement was needed
I know your secrets
Don't let me tell them to the world about that shit you thinkin'
And that time you gulp I'm bout to hurl
I'm fucked up, but I'm not as fucked up as you
You just can't get right, I think your heart made of bullet proof
Shoulda killed yo ass a long time ago
You shoulda filled that black revolver blast a long time ago
And if those mirrors could talk it would say "you gotta go"
And if I told your secrets
The world'll know money can't stop a suicidal weakness



@mattdobmeier

I went for a run at 4am after watching the girl i love black out and try to go home with another guy. she called me self-absorbed all night. I was screaming at myself just like kendrick and listening to this song on loop. I think she was right, I am self-absorbed. I found out that i hate myself and strangely i feel more connected to myself than i ever have. Fuck that girl. Who else wants to start the 'i' period of their lives after living like 'u' for so long.

I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love myself
(One day at a time, sun gon' shine)


I think 'i' is where Kendrick finds love and compassion in the world and within himself despite his self-hate. I'm going to base my life on love and compassion from now on :).

Loving you is complicated
I place blame when you still
Place shame when you steal
Feel like you ain't shit
Feel like you don't feel, confidence in yourself

Watchin' anonymous strangers tellin' me that I'm yours
But you ain't shit I'm convinced your talent's nothin' special

Numbers lie too, fuck your pride too, that's for dedication
Thought money would change you, made you more complacent
I fuckin' hate you, I hope you embrace it
I swear loving you is complicated
Loving you is complicated
Lovin' you, lovin' you, not lovin' you, one hundred proof
I can feel you vibin', recognize that your ashamed of me
Yes I hate you too

What’s crazy is that in the second verse, he wasn’t using his voice cracking flow on purpose this time. He was actually crying recording this song...
