O.T. Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep on driving me insane
The colors that I'm feeling
Keep on messing up my brain
I wanna wake up
Run out of my bedroom
But I'm feeling stuck
As cold as an iglooBut I'm not giving up
Just know that I miss you
Don't wanna fix me up
Cause I'll just mess it up
Broke my heart cause you had to
Every bad song that I write is about you
Sold my soul cause I had to
Bad memories are stuck like a tattoo
You left and I got better
You screamed you hate me
I screamed whatever
I hope you never find love ever
And that you get stuck with someone like you
You think that you cute
You think that you're better
But you're worse than you know
And I'm glad that you left
Cause I'm so over you
And now that you
Broke my heart cause you had to
Every bad song that I write is about you
Sold my soul cause I had to
Bad memories are stuck like a tattoo
Broke my heart cause you had to
Every bad song that I write is about you
Sold my soul cause I had toBad memories are stuck like a tattoo
I don't know why
I put myself through this
They tried to tell me
That ignorance was bliss
Dumb kid who's feeling
Love drunk and a mess
I never want this
To ever end like this
But you
Broke my heart cause you had to
Every bad song that I write is about you
Sold my soul cause I had to
Bad memories are stuck like a tattoo
Broke my heart cause you had to
Every bad song that I write is about you
Sold my soul cause I had to
Bad memories are stuck like a tattoo
The lyrics of O.T. Quartet's song "14" speak of the turmoil of a broken heart caused by a difficult relationship. The singer speaks of how raindrops and colors only worsen the chaotic state of their mind, but they persist in moving forward despite feeling stuck. They blame the addressee for breaking their heart and causing them such pain, expressing their anger and frustration through music, which has become their outlet. They wish ill on their former lover, hoping they never find love while also acknowledging their own foolishness in allowing themselves to be so blindly in love.
The song delves deep into the emotions of heartbreak and how it can linger on like a tattoo, a permanent reminder of the past. The singer knows that they need to move on but cannot help themselves, continuing to write bad songs about their ex and feeling stuck in a rut. Despite the pain, they continue to forge ahead, hoping that the pain will fade and they can leave their difficult relationship behind.

In my opinion OT Quartet builds like a skyscraper mix is the best dance track ever. To me defines the clubbing scene of the era.

Yeah man. Hands down thats the best mix. Does what it says on the tin. Got steam comin out of your ears by the time that builds to its crescendo haha
@dwiseman1
Agreed .. and its got a hell of a lot of competition! To hear and dance to it when it was first out was an out of this world experience, tripping or not.

So many remixes, all worse than that.
