TATTOO
Smokn Beats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's only you when it matters
Don't you care about me at all
Is this love in the gutter
Or will we pick ourselves up tonight
And I
Thought that we could fly so high
And I
Was so wrong
Don't need someone bad like you
Sticking to my heart like a tattoo
Don't need someone bad like you
Sticking to my heart like a tattoo
Get this ink of my heart
I just really need a brand new start
This love is in the gutter
We will never pick ourselves up
And I
Thought that we could fly so high
And I
Was so wrong
Don't need someone bad like you
Sticking to my heart like a tattoo




Don't need someone bad like you
Sticking to my heart like a tattoo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Tattoo" by Smokn Beats convey a message of heartbreak and disappointment in a romantic relationship. The singer is speaking directly to their partner, expressing their feeling that the relationship has gone astray and that they no longer feel the same sense of connection and passion that they once did. They question their partner's feelings for them, wondering if they even care at all, and express their doubts about whether their love can survive the challenges they are facing. The lyrics also suggest a desire to move on and start fresh, to remove the emotional attachment to their partner like getting a tattoo removed. Ultimately, the song speaks to the complicated emotions of love, the ups and downs of relationships, and the tough decisions that we are sometimes faced with when trying to navigate matters of the heart.
