Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If this what love is (yeah)
If this what love is
Then I don't want it
I don't want it
I'll ignore it
You adore wastin' time
What's more important?
You sure are gorgeous
Worried 'bout your ex
Worried 'bout your ex
You should be worried 'bout what's next
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Worried 'bout your ex
Worryin' got you stressed (hey)
Hurry, don't get left (hey)
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
You overthink a lot (ay)
My feelings you forgot (ay)
You forgot all the time (yeah)
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Pullin' up to your spot (yeah)
That's like an hour drive (huh)
I come to you a lot (hey)
I'm fuckin' you a lot (wait)
I'm lovin' you a lot (skrrt, skrrt)
I don't wanna stop (uh)
Baby, you're my rock (uh)
Baby, you're my rock (uh)
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Baby, you're my rock (skrrt, skrrt)
I don't wanna stop
Lookin' at my watch
How much time I got? (wait)
Sex is on the clock (skrrt, skrrt)
Grab the Magnum box (ay)
Hit her from the side
She said that's her spot (wait)
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Hit her in my condo
She might send the drop (wait)
I can't trust these thots (wait)
Flyin' out a lot (wait)
Sellin' box and top
If this what love is (yeah)
If this what love is (yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Then I don't want it
I don't want it
I'll ignore it
You adore wastin' time (yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
I can't afford it
What's more important?
You sure are gorgeous
Worried 'bout your ex
Worried 'bout your ex
You should be worried 'bout what's next
Worried 'bout your ex
Worryin' got you stressed (hey)
Hurry, don't get left (hey)
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Damn Pi'erre, where'd you find this?
The song 'Ballad' by Pi'erre Bourne is a contemplation on the nature of love and the sacrifices that come with it. The first verse of the song suggests that Pi'erre is not satisfied with the kind of love that he is receiving from his partner. He says that he does not want it and that he will ignore it, implying that he is looking for something deeper and more fulfilling. Despite this, he acknowledges that his partner is gorgeous and acknowledges her worth.
The second verse of the song talks about his partner's preoccupation with her ex and how she should be focusing on the present and the future. He also highlights the fact that she overthinks a lot, and that she has forgotten his feelings in the process. The lines, "Baby, you're my rock", suggest that she is an important figure in his life that he depends on, but he is also cognizant of the fact that he doesn't want to waste his time on a relationship that is not fulfilling.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a reflection on the complexities of relationships, and how difficult it can be to navigate them. Additionally, the song suggests that love involves making sacrifices, but it's important to be discerning about the kind of sacrifices that are worth making.
