Like U
Natanya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when I look at you
I wonder if you're possible
You wanna keep me inside your lap
My sphere is found inside your trap
How can a woman give
And yet not receive
I cut myself into little parts for you
I tried to be friends
But you're not my friend
Saw it in the end
I don't think I know your face
Your eyes they have no place
In my night
My stars
I don't see you anymore
I don't wanna fight you
I just don't think I like you
I don't trust you
And I don't wanna fight you
I just don't think I like you
Now the bleach is gone
So have your wings and your halo
You're no longer my angel
I wish things would simmer
I'm not your baby sitter
Now you're away from me
You'll no longer have to be
In my night
My stars
I don't see you anymore
I don't wanna fight you
I just don't think I like you
I don't trust you
And I don't wanna fight you
I just don't think I like you
I wish I knew
I wish I knew the things
The things that come between us
I don't wanna fight you
Ooh, I just don't think I like you
In Natanya's song Like U, the lyrics express a feeling of disappointment and betrayal towards a person who was once close to her. The song opens with the line, "They say anything is possible, and when I look at you, I wonder if you're possible." This could mean that the person she is singing about has done something that made her question the possibilities of their relationship or their trustworthiness.
The lyrics, "You wanna keep me inside your lap, my sphere is found inside your trap" could mean that this person was possessive and controlling, and that Natanya felt trapped in the relationship with them. She expresses frustration at feeling like she gave more than she received in the relationship, "How can a woman give and yet not receive?" She also sings about how she compromised her own values and interests for this person, "I cut myself into little parts for you, devalued my art for you."
Towards the end of the song, Natanya seems to come to the realization that this person is no longer worth her time or energy. She says, "Now the bleach is gone, so have your wings and your halo, you're no longer my angel." This could mean that she has washed away any illusions she had about this person and no longer sees them as someone who is good or trustworthy. The song ends with the line, "I don't wanna fight you, I just don't think I like you," which could mean that she has finally accepted that this person is not someone she wants in her life or to continue to struggle to maintain a friendship with.

They say anything is possible
People say that anything can happen
And when I look at you
When I see you
I wonder if you're possible
I question whether you are even real
You wanna keep me inside your lap
You want to keep me close to you
My sphere is found inside your trap
I am trapped in your world
How can a woman give
How can I give
And yet not receive
And not receive anything in return
I cut myself into little parts for you
I sacrificed a lot for you
Devalued my art for you
I compromised my art for you
I tried to be friends
I attempted to be friendly towards you
But you're not my friend
But you aren't my true friend
Saw it in the end
I realized it in the end
I don't think I know your face
I don't think I even know what you look like
Your eyes they have no place
Your eyes have no meaning to me
In my night
In my dark times
My stars
The things that guide me
I don't see you anymore
I don't see you in my future
I don't wanna fight you
I don't want to argue with you
I just don't think I like you
I don't think I have feelings for you
I don't trust you
I don't believe in you
And I don't wanna fight you
And I don't want to argue with you
Now the bleach is gone
Now that everything is said and done
So have your wings and your halo
So go be your perfect self
You're no longer my angel
You aren't my ideal person anymore
I wish things would simmer
I wish things would calm down
I'm not your baby sitter
I am not responsible for you
Now you're away from me
Now that you are gone
You'll no longer have to be
You won't have to deal with
I don't wanna fight you
I don't want to argue with you
Ooh, I just don't think I like you
I just don't think I have feelings for you
I wish I knew
I wish I understood
I wish I knew the things
I wish I understood the reasons why
The things that come between us
The things that cause issues between us
I don't wanna fight you
I don't want to argue with you
Ooh, I just don't think I like you
I just don't think I have feelings for you
