Atoms
RL Grime Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're gone, the tape just keeps replayin'
Did I let you down before I can make my peace?
So if you're listening now, could you hear me out at least?
My song for your atoms
I was a fool back then, I was a fool back then
Take me back to your atoms, oh
But I was a fool back then
I'm still lost
But I can feel it changin'
Just hold on
Don't let 'em see you breakin'
Did I let you down before I can make my peace?
So if you're listening now, could you hear me out at least?
My song for your atoms
I was a fool back then, I was a fool back then
Take me back to your atoms, oh
Not on my knees quite yet
But I was a fool back then
My song for your atoms
I was a fool back then, I was a fool back then
Take me back to your atoms, oh
Not on my knees quite yet
But I was a fool back then
My song for your atoms
I was a fool back then, I was a fool back then
Take me back to your atoms, oh
Not on my knees quite yet
But I was a fool back then
The lyrics of โAtomsโ by RL Grime featuring Jeremy Zucker reflect on feeling lost and looking back on past mistakes in a relationship. The singer is struggling with letting go of their partner and the lingering thoughts of what could have been. The line โI'm so lost in between the stationsโ suggests that the singer is lost and unsure of where to go next after the relationship has ended. The repetition of the line โI was a fool back thenโ highlights the regret and guilt the singer is feeling over something they did wrong in the past.
The chorus, โMy song for your atoms, I was a fool back then,โ is a plea for forgiveness and a desire to go back to a time when things were simpler, before the mistake was made. The use of โatomsโ could be interpreted as the smallest elements that make up a person, suggesting that the singer wants to be a part of their former partnerโs life again, even in the smallest way.
Overall, โAtomsโ is a song about regret and the longing to fix past mistakes. The lyrics are emotive, and the use of metaphor and imagery adds depth to the song.
