So Sick
Ne-Yo ft. Peedi Crakk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
'Cause right now it says that "We can't come to the phone"
And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
It's been months and for some reason I just
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this, yeah
(Enough is enough)
No more walking round with my head down (yeah)
I'm so over being blue, crying over you
And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calendar I have that's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memory
And now every song reminds me of what used to be
That's the reason I'm
So sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio? Oh-oh-oh
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Hey, don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio
'Cause I'm so sick of love songs (hey), so tired of tears (so tired of tears)
So done with wishing (oh) she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (ooh-oh)
So why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?)
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears (so tired of tears, yeah)
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (hey)
Why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?)
And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears (I'm so sick of love songs)
So done with wishing you were still here (so done and I'm so sick of love songs)
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (so done and I'm so sick of love songs)
Why can't I turn off the radio? (hey)
(Why can't I turn off the radio?)
Why can't I turn off the radio?
"So Sick" by Ne-Yo ft. Geeze is a song about the pain of moving on after a break-up. The singer is struggling with the realization that his ex is gone and no longer a part of his life. He is trying to do everything possible to become better, including changing his answering machine, forgetting the anniversary date and avoiding listening to love songs that remind him of her. However, no matter how much he tries to move on, he still finds himself sad and longing for her. The final resolution is that the singer will let go of the past and move forward by turning off the radio, which symbolizes that he is done listening to anything that brings up memories of her.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, with the singer admitting that he needs to change his answering machine because it reminds him of his ex. The lines "And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door/ But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore" highlights his struggle in getting over his ex, even if it means keeping things that remind him of her. The chorus "I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears/ So done with wishing you were still here" is a clear evidence of how he's trying to move on from it all.
Overall, the song is an excellent depiction of the pain caused by heartbreak, where the singer can't seem to get over his past relationship regardless of how hard he tries.

She was everything. Dark-skinned, natural, and could move. I wish this type of beauty was more celebrated.

She was the choreographer for this, and others, including Ciara's "Oh" video. She is in that video. Did some for Beyonce as well.
