Born Jonathon Quiles in Tempe, Arizona, Sik World was influenced as much by Eminem as Dragon Ball Z. In high school, he coped with depression and anxiety with music and posted his output online. In addition to covers of hits by Lukas Graham and Justin Bieber, Quiles also peppered in some of his own original material. In 2014, he released the tracks "So Alone," "Broken Home," and "Broken Wings," following with "Legendary" in 2015.
While working towards a proper album, he recorded his version of Adele's "Hello" about a difficult breakup, before releasing his single "iHate" in late 2016. His 2017 EP Still Lost featured a cameo from singer Alex Marie Brinkley on the piano-driven "Liar." The song was one of several highlights on the EP, going on to be streamed millions of times. Still Lost broke Sik World through to new listeners, eventually hitting number seven on the iTunes chart. The rapper grew from there, releasing his long-awaited debut studio album, When Stars Align, in September of 2019.
About You
Sik World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz everyone keeps asking me
About you, about you
How do I explain to them
That we do not make sense
Cuz everyone keeps asking me
About you, about you
How do I explain to them
Girl I hate thinking about you
I always dream about you
I know I'm not same
Fuck I can't be me without you
It's fucked up, just fake love
You played me, you played us
You caved in, I gave up
You played games
Then straight front
You straight lied to my face
But it's alight, mess with my mind
So long as I stay, this girls is insane
I left but couldn't escape
I saw thru your twisted ways
I ran fast, didn't look back
But tell the world I'm to blame, now
Cuz everyone keeps asking me
About you, about you
How do I explain to them
That we didn't make sense
I didn't want to let you go
Knew you'd come back again
Saw you losing control
Don't act like you don't know
When you manifested this
Cuz I said, Don't play games
Your gonna see, let a stranger
In your house but he wasn't me
I finally figured out, I was deceived
Now I'm laying low
Trying not to grieve when
Cuz everyone keeps asking me
About you, about you
How do I explain to them
That we do not make sense
Cuz everyone keeps asking me
About you, about you
How do I explain to them
That we didn't make sense
Yeah
Everyone

I'm numb
Feeling emotionally dead inside
Cuz everyone keeps asking me
Because everyone is asking me
About you, about you
About you, specifically about you
How do I explain to them
How do I make them understand
That we do not make sense
That our relationship doesn't make sense
Girl I hate thinking about you
I don't like thinking about you, girl
I always dream about you
I keep dreaming about you
I know I'm not same
I'm not the same person anymore
Fuck I can't be me without you
I can't be myself without you
It's fucked up, just fake love
It's messed up, we never really loved each other
You played me, you played us
You toyed with my feelings and our relationship
You caved in, I gave up
You gave in, but I lost hope
You played games
You messed around and played games with me
Then straight front
Then suddenly, without warning
You straight lied to my face
You lied directly to me
But it's alight, mess with my mind
But it's okay, you can keep toying with my thoughts
So long as I stay, this girls is insane
As long as I stick around, this relationship is crazy
I left but couldn't escape
I tried to leave, but I couldn't really get away
I saw thru your twisted ways
I saw through your manipulations and lies
I ran fast, didn't look back
I ran away quickly and didn't turn back
But tell the world I'm to blame, now
But the world views me as the one at fault, now
I didn't want to let you go
I didn't want to end things between us
Knew you'd come back again
I knew you would try to come back
Saw you losing control
I saw you losing it and becoming more unstable
Don't act like you don't know
Don't pretend like you're not aware
When you manifested this
When you caused this situation to occur
Cuz I said, Don't play games
Because I warned you not to play games
Your gonna see, let a stranger
You'll see what happens when you let a stranger in
In your house but he wasn't me
Into your life and your affairs, but he's not me
I finally figured out, I was deceived
I finally understood that I was tricked
Now I'm laying low
Now I'm staying out of the way
Trying not to grieve when
Trying not to be upset when
Yeah
Yes

This resonates with a relationship I just got out of, I stayed longer than I should have, thinking he'd change and not I hate him but can't stop thinking of him and it just sucks!
