Murda
Sharna Bass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Uh-uh
Set myself on fire to keep you warm
Try making skies brighter, you bringing the storm
I need me a choir when you said you raw
Every truth I heard from you is just a lie
You look right through me while you're watching my soul cry
Losing different parts of me, oh, every time
I don't even know me, oh, where is the old me?
It's a murder
My heart's been murdered
They done heard of
Feels like a murder
It's a murder
It's a murder
Plain unheard of
Feels like a murder
I'm sinking so deep in your ocean, baby (ocean, baby)
For you will see and try to save me
It's that you watch while the waves just fight to take me
Leaving these scars to always shame me
Every excuse you sing just like an alibi
You crush my soul while looking deep into my eyes
Tell me you love me but you hurt me like it's fine
I don't even know me, oh, where's the old me?
It's a murder (oh-oh)
My heart's been murdered
They done heard of (oh-oh)
Feels like a murder
It's a murder
It's a murder
Plain unheard of (heard of)
Feels like a murder
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Oh-oh
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Oh-oh
The lyrics to Sharna Bass's song "Murda" express the pain and betrayal of a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "Set myself on fire to keep you warm / Try making skies brighter, you bringing the storm" illustrate the desperation of the singer in the relationship, as they sacrifice themselves to please their partner. The line "I need me a choir when you said you raw / Always making a scene, oh, I guess you like to perform" reveals the performative nature of the partner and their tendency to create chaos.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the devastating impact that this relationship has had on the singer, as they state "It's a murder / My heart's been murdered / They done heard of / Feels like a murder". This powerful imagery conveys the emotional and psychological harm that has been inflicted upon the singer, leaving them feeling like a victim of a violent crime.
The second verse continues to explore the themes of betrayal and emotional abuse, with lines like "Every excuse you sing just like an alibi / You crush my soul while looking deep into my eyes / Tell me you love me but you hurt me like it's fine". The singer expresses confusion and a loss of self-identity, asking "I don't even know me, oh, where's the old me?".
Through the vivid language and emotional tone of the lyrics, "Murda" offers a powerful commentary on the impact that toxic relationships can have on one's sense of self-worth and emotional well-being.
