miss me
River Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wonder if you miss me
They way we met the connect so swiftly
Then she brought her own she ain't pimp me jeez
I ain't tryna fuck it up gimme the strength to please
If I'm man of the house give me the strength to lead
Show me what's meant to be
Show me what's meant to see
Aye yo I use to get hype when you would mention me
But now I gotta take flight cause of different scenes
That we seeing
Too sneaky to believe in
You tweaking then I'm leaving
Lemme breathe in
Two hearts switching like the seasons
God sent sex to demons
Do I interest you even?
Retreating ima get even like Steven
I think I need a Louis for Peter like reasons
But ima be gone by the weekend when I ask are you sleeping
I just wonder if you miss me?

I just wonder
Will my demons pull me under
Out in jersey for the summer
Seeing family was a bummer
Get the message
Yall headless
It's permanent it's cemented
But it's some better shit to worry about so I ain't gone stress it
You wouldn't say that shit in person you hit the social and text it
That's the shit I don't mess with it
As of late I'm reflecting
Got me fighting with my thoughts though sometimes we be wrestling
So I put it on onnna page though sometimes I be flexing
I be bleeding the pen everytime that I press it
It be alot of pain behind it but you don't get the message fr
We get some hate because we great I guess it come with the skill
I be high all time life should come wit a pill




Red or blue don't let em get ahead you thinking I won't make it but amazed by what I get Into
Red or blue don't let em get ahead you thinking I won't make it but amazed by what I get Into

Overall Meaning

The opening line of River's song MISS ME expresses his yearning for someone to miss him. He ponders whether the person he had a swift connection with still thinks about him. River also acknowledges how the relationship progressed, with his partner bringing something of her own without him having to force it. He expresses his desire not to mess it up and pleads for the strength to please his partner. River then switches to a more soul-searching tone where he talks about wanting to be the man of the house and a leader, but also wanting to see what's meant for him in life. He reminisces on how, at one point, he got excited when his partner mentioned him but now, they have different scenes that they are seeing. This divergence leads to two hearts switching like the seasons, and he concludes with questioning whether he even interests his partner before stating that he will be gone for the weekend.


In the second verse, River starts by reflecting on his inner struggles, wondering if his demons will pull him under. He then reveals that he is in New Jersey for the summer, seeing family but not necessarily having a great time. River mentions that his head is heavy with thoughts because he is continuously fighting with them, and he finds solace in putting these thoughts on a page. Even though he bares his soul on the page, he believes people still do not understand the pain behind his words. He then switches to a note of positivity, saying that he has to keep going and not let anyone get ahead of him, telling himself he will make it despite doubts. This song presents River's complex emotions and his struggle to balance his internal battles with maintaining a healthy relationship.
