Cosmopolitan
Pash Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flipping through the pages
The reaffirmation of what I already knew
And I wonder if you fell into this too

Can't say it in the past tense
Everything it never meant
And everything it can't now
And just say it in the past tense

Tense
In the past tense
In the past tense

You just made real today this change
New way
Please don't say it's just real now
But that it's just face

Flipping through the pages
The reaffirmation of what I already knew
And I wonder so did you fall into this too
Too

Too
Into this too

Overall Meaning

In "Cosmopolitan," Pash is flipping through the pages and finding nothing new, only reaffirmation of what they already knew. Pash wonders if someone else fell into the same situation as well. The song is about looking back on a relationship that has ended and trying to make sense of it all. The lyrics suggest that the relationship was not what either party wanted it to be, and things did not work out as planned.

Pash sings, "Can't say it in the past tense, everything it never meant, and everything it can't now." It seems that the relationship was not truthful and honest from the start, and now everything that was said and promised cannot be fulfilled. The chorus repeats, "Tense, in the past tense, in the past tense," further emphasizing how the relationship is now in the past and cannot be brought back.

The second verse is a plea to the other person, asking them not to deny that things have changed and that they need to face the reality of the situation. The lines, "You just made real today this change, new way, please don't say it's just real now, but that it's just face," suggest that the other person is trying to pretend that nothing has changed and that they can continue with their old patterns and behavior.

Overall, "Cosmopolitan" is a reflective and introspective song about the end of a relationship and the feelings that come with it.
