Debut single "MY2" is an atmospheric introduction to the brand new star, featuring skittering beats against an organ-like synth backdrop. Elevated by production from Louis Mattrs, her vocal is a strong asset to the slick, sophisticated sound she's already cultivating, underpinned by trip-hop influences from nearby Bristol.
Honestly
TS Graye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess it ain't his day
Not his day today
But he's magnificent, honestly
I wish you could see all the things that I see
'Cause it's all in his smile
It's all in the way he dies for me
When we're riding in his car
He whispers 'honey, you're a star'
And I love that he lies to me
'Cause he always lies to me
Singing Ooh
He's got me singing Ooh
He's got me singing Ooh
I don't give a fuck if he's bad for me
I know he's bad for me
But he brings me peace
And he's spectacular, honestly
You could never see all the things that I see
'Cause it's all in his smile
It's all in the way he dies for me
And he'd die for me, honestly
When we're riding in his car
He whispers 'baby, you look the part'
I love that he lies to me
'Cause he always lies to me
Singing Ooh
He's got me singing Ooh
He's got me singing Ooh
You know that he'd die for me, cry for me, lie to me
Why do these people think that I see differently?
You know that I'd die for him, cry for him, lie to him
Why do these people think that he sees differently?
He's got me singing Ooh
He's got me singing Ooh
You know that he'd die for me, cry for me, lie to me
Why do these people think that I see differently?
See him differently, see him differently
You know that I'd die for him, cry for him, lie to him
Why do these people think that he sees differently?
In TS Graye's song, "Honestly," the singer talks about her relationship with her partner, who has left her without a word. The singer acknowledges that her partner may not be having a good day, but she sees him as magnificent, unlike how others perceive him. Despite knowing that her partner is bad for her, she continues to be with him because he brings her peace. She highlights that she and her partner are willing to die, cry, or lie for each other, and questions why others view their relationship in a different light.
The lyrics highlight the singer's dependency on her partner, who brings her some form of solace despite their tumultuous relationship. The line "I love that he lies to me, 'cause he always lies to me," suggests that the singer is aware of the deceptions in their relationship but accepts them as part of the package. The chorus "He's got me singing Ooh" suggests that despite the challenges in their relationship, the singer is still drawn to her partner and emphasizes that she may see her partner differently from how others view him, indicating that the singer is willing to take risks to be with him.
