SZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time could never stop me, no, no, no, no
I know you try to
I come riding in on a pale white horse
Sending out his to less fortunate
I do advise you run it back, run it on back
When you're breaking it down for me
'Cause I can hear you two times
I got to do things my own way darling
Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way darling
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind oh
Let me cover your shit in glitter
I can make it gold, gold
Heard you're tryna sell your soul, baby
But I'm not sure, you're running low, lately
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
From the face it's seeing now
Ooh darling would you mind giving my reflection a break
From the pain it's feeling now?
I got to do things my own way darling
You should just let me, will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way darling
You should just let me why you will never let me grow
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind oh
Getting no peace
Getting no peace
Get, get, getting no peace oh
Getting no peace
(Get, get no peace oh)
The lyrics of SZA’s song “Consideration” primarily deal with the singer’s need for independence, self-discovery, and personal growth. The first verse is an allusion to Peter Pan’s Neverland, a mystical world that represents eternal youth and freedom. SZA declares that time cannot stop her, indicating her determination to pursue her own path. However, she acknowledges that others may try to hold her back and advises them to “run it back” and explain their perspectives. The final lines of the verse express SZA’s frustration at not being able to understand the advice given to her.
The following chorus highlights SZA’s desire for autonomy and her struggle to achieve peace of mind in a world that is not conducive to her growth. The lines “I got to do things my own way darling/ Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me?” show her frustrations at being prevented from asserting her independence. The second verse further develops these themes, with SZA offering to “cover your shit in glitter” and “make it gold” to help those around her. The references to “selling your soul” and “running low” could be interpreted as commentary on the difficulties of achieving success in the music industry without sacrificing one’s integrity. Finally, the repeated refrain of “getting no peace” emphasizes the emotional toll of SZA’s journey towards self-discovery.

I come fluttering in from Neverland
I arrive energetically and playfully, like Peter Pan, with a never-ending spirit
Time could never stop me, no, no, no, no
No matter what happens or how much time passes, I will keep moving forward
I know you try to
I understand that you attempt to limit me or hold me back
I come riding in on a pale white horse
I come in as a savior figure, riding a metaphorical horse to rescue and bring good fortune to those in need
Sending out his to less fortunate
I use my power and resources to provide aid to those in need, especially those who are marginalized
I do advise you run it back, run it on back
I suggest that you review and reconsider your previous decisions or actions
When you're breaking it down for me
When you're explaining your perspective or reasoning to me
'Cause I can hear you two times
Because I listen attentively and understand things more clearly with repetition
Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?
Repeat it again, will I ever fully comprehend or agree with it?
I got to do things my own way darling
I need to pursue my own path and make my own decisions, my love
Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me? No
Do you truly support me and value my autonomy? Sadly, it seems that you don't
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?
You should simply allow me to develop and mature, why do you constantly hold me back?
When I look outside my window
When I observe the world around me
I can't get no peace of mind
I struggle to find tranquility or clarity of thought
Let me cover your shit in glitter
Allow me to enhance or beautify your problems or struggles
I can make it gold, gold
I have the ability to transform your challenges into something valuable and precious
Heard you're tryna sell your soul, baby
I heard you're attempting to compromise or sacrifice your values or integrity, my dear
But I'm not sure, you're running low, lately
But I'm not certain, as you seem to be struggling or faltering recently
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
I require you to offer me some respite from the negative image or perception of myself
From the face it's seeing now
From the current negative view or portrayal of myself
Ooh darling would you mind giving my reflection a break
Oh my love, could you possibly grant me some relief from the harsh judgment of myself?
From the pain it's feeling now?
From the emotional distress or discomfort I'm currently experiencing
Getting no peace
I'm not finding any inner calm or tranquility
Getting no peace
I'm still searching for inner peace and clarity
Get, get, getting no peace oh
I'm desperately longing for some emotional relief and rest
Getting no peace
I'm still struggling to find mental and emotional solace
(Get, get no peace oh)
(I'm continually receiving no relief or break from my inner turmoil)
