Priorities
PLESTED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I want
What I need
Coz recently they're not the same thing
These feelings are constantly changing
And you deserve
All of me
My heart's getting torn between places
California's been keeping us waiting
and i got these priorities
they always get on top of me
and they're weighing they're weighing me down
and i feel like you're never or now
so im changing my priorities
and aint nobody's stopping me
it could leave me a mess on the floor
but you're someone worth changing for
i just hope you're changing yours.
who comes second
them or us?
cuz if i go
i'll be seven hours behind you
just losing it trying to find you
straight divorcement
i know you're busy
in another city
so why am i singing about you
when the words all mean nothing without you
and i got these priorities
they always get on top of me
and they're weighing they're weighing me down
and i feel like you're never or now
so im changing my priorities
and aint nobody's stopping me
it could leave me a mess on the floor
but you're someone worth changing for
i just hope you're changing yours.
Yeah...
No.
I hope you're changing yours
what comes first
what i want
what i need
cuz recently they're not the same thing
recently they're not the same thing
In PLESTED's song Priorities, the lyrics speak to the internal struggle of trying to balance one's own desires and needs with the desires and needs of their romantic partner. The chorus reveals the conflict that the singer faces, saying "I got these priorities, they always get on top of me, and they're weighing, they're weighing me down, and I feel like you're never or now." The singer is torn between the things that they feel they need to attend to in their daily life, and their desire to be with their partner. They acknowledge that changing their priorities may leave them in a mess on the floor, but they believe that their partner is worth changing for.
The verse following the chorus continues to explore the tension between the singer and their partner. The lyric "who comes second, them or us?" challenges the idea of family and others coming first in a relationship. The singer also acknowledges the difficulty of being physically distant from their partner, feeling seven hours behind them and struggling to find them. Despite the distance and challenges, the singer still sings about the significance of their partner and the need for them to change their priorities.
Overall, the song Priorities speaks to the universal struggle of balancing one's personal responsibilities and desires with the desire to connect with a loved one. The lyrics convey the importance of communication and making sacrifices for the people that we hold dear.
