Mind Games
Matt Williams & A Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She don't like the way I move
Everywhere I go now, she go
We were chilling at the crib
Posted up, we cuffed now
Then she blocked me on the gram
Said we need to slow down
What's with the mind games
You hurting my brain
Please, don't try to play me
Coming in my lane
This a game you won't win
Just cuz it's Friday
Don't mean I need to let you in
This ain't a, this ain't a
This ain't a, this ain't a
This ain't a, this ain't a good Friday
Uh uh
This ain't a good Friday
Uh uh
This ain't a good Friday
Uh uh
This ain't a good Friday
Uh uh
I think my new man from the Bay
Yeah, he a beach boy and don't like the way I play
I say I'm classy but I do it my way
Love mother earth
I'll sit under the sun all day, sunshine on my face
But he likes to run away
My spirit too free
He don't like it when I say that I love him but I'm genuine okay
I'm not the type to sit and waste my life away
Oh, no, not today
So, what's with the mind games
What's with the XYZ
You hurting my brain
Please, don't try to play me
Coming in my lane
This a game you won't win
Just cuz it's Friday
Don't mean I need to let you in
What's with the mind games
What's with the XYZ
You hurting my brain
Please, don't try to play me
Coming in my lane
This a game you won't win
Just cuz it's Friday
Don't mean I need to let you in
This ain't a, this ain't a
This ain't a, this ain't a
This ain't a, this ain't a good Friday
Uh uh
A good Friday
Uh uh
Good Friday
Uh uh
Good Friday
Uh uh
The lyrics to Matt Williams & A Star's song "Mind Games" suggest a situation where both the singers have new partners who are trying to control their behavior. The first speaker thinks that his new partner, who is from Japan and Puerto Rico, doesn't like the way he moves and is trying to manipulate him by blocking him on social media. The second speaker, who is a woman, says that her new partner doesn't like her free-spirited nature, and wants her to conform to his ways. Both speakers seem frustrated with the situation and wonder why their partners are playing these mind games.
The lyrics capture the complexity of new relationships and how people try to assert control over each other. Both speakers seem to be rejecting the idea of control and conformity, and want to maintain their individuality. They realize that these games are not healthy for them and want their partners to stop playing them. The repeated phrase "this ain't a good Friday" suggests that they don't want their relationships to be ruined just because it's Friday, i.e., they want to work through the problems rather than giving up on their relationship.
