Dysfunctional
SATICA feat. SAKIMA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the smoke from the air, from your fucking cigarette
That you always seem to smoke when your body's nervous
I know that you thinking that you don't deserve this
Why does it feel like we're just dancing now?
Find a way to bring me down to nothing now
Why you tear it up by cleaning up you know you got me?
Why you come around here with all the messes that you make?
Why you tear it up by cleaning up you know you got me?
Why you come around here?
Don't you come around here
Why you come around here?
Don't you come around here would you
Dysfunctional
Taking what I feel like, never wanna see you go
Dysfunctional
Got the rope around you, but I don't wanna tie you down
Dysfunctional
Please forgive me, I ain't got no sense
Dysfunctional
I can't really love you till I've had my drink
The first verse of SATICA feat. SAKIMA's "Dysfunctional" paints a vivid picture of the aftermath of a physical encounter. The singer can still smell the scent of the other person's skin on her neck, which reminds her of the cigarette smoke that they both shared. The cigarette is a symbol of nervousness, and it's clear that the two parties are on edge about the situation. The singer knows that the other person may not feel worthy of the connection they share, but they are both caught up in the moment. However, the chorus brings a sense of unease to the relationship. The singer seems to sense that the other person is causing chaos in her life, but she's also aware that she is addicted to the feeling of closeness and the connection they share. The chorus repeats the lines "Why you come around here with all the messes that you make?" and "Why you tear it up by cleaning up you know you got me?" The singer seems to be aware that the relationship is not healthy, but she can't seem to let go.
The second verse continues the theme of dysfunction and confusion. The singer once again questions the other person's motives for being around her. She knows that the other person has been hurtful in the past, but she's also aware that they can be kind and caring. The rope mentioned in the chorus is a reference to the idea of being tied down to someone. While the singer doesn't want to let the other person go, she's also aware of the damage that can be caused by being too close. The final lines of the song, "I can't really love you till I've had my drink," suggest that the singer is using alcohol to numb her feelings and cope with the confusion of the relationship.
Overall, "Dysfunctional" is a powerful exploration of the complexities of a toxic relationship. The lyrics are poignant and emotive, and they capture the confusion, pain, and addiction that can come with an unhealthy relationship.
