In a Box
Teqq Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to forget all about it
Cut her love off hide it in a pretty box
My heart that beats for you is got to stop
Put on a smile but all the while
I'm giving sweet love to you
Pretend that everything
doesn't remind me of you
Put it in a box and lock it
Try to forget all about it
Shove it up in the closet
We say we'll be better without it
Put it in a box and lock it
Try to forget all about it
Shove it down in the poket
Ignore that is there when i'm walking
Teqq's song "In A Box" is a melancholic track that describes the turmoil of a lover who is trying their best to forget about their former lover. The lyrics of the song suggest a sense of denial or reluctance to accept the truth of the breakup. The singer is evidently going through a tough time trying to move on from the relationship, she speaks about "cut her love off hide it in a pretty box" and "Put on a smile but all the while I'm giving sweet love to you." These lines show that the singer is trying to put on a brave face to mask her sadness and pain, but in reality, she can't forget her former lover.
Moreover, the lyrics also suggest a sense of hopelessness as the singer is trying to forget everything about her former lover. She is putting everything in a box and locking it away, trying to forget the memories and love they had shared. The singer adamantly talks about shoving it down in the pocket and ignoring it when walking. She has come to the conclusion that it is better to try and forget everything rather than bear the pain of the memories.
Overall, "In A Box" is a poignant track that highlights the struggles that one faces when trying to move on from a past love.

After many many years, In A Box and The Road Ahead became one of the very few Deleted Monstercat Releases. Really sad, I really loved Teqq music.
@beanberg
this is such a good song! why did they delete it?
@denisesatx
Painful and Beautiful ❤
@yyzmarley
So upset they removed this from Spotify, definitely one of my favourite OG house songs
@beanberg
was it removed since Monstercat deleted it?
in that case do you know why they deleted it?
@yyzmarley
@@beanberg I'm not sure why they deleted it. It isn't under Teqq's or Monstercat's profiles on Spotify anymore though. I was assuming maybe Teqq requested it to be removed because of its age. But I haven't read anything or seen anything as to why
@OSSLOfficial
I was very surprised too; well, I doubt age has anything with this
@jovanstevic
One of the most unique and beautiful tracks of early Monstercat!
@sstteezzyypzz
i wish I had the money to pay this man to reupload this to spotify :( . Is he waiting for a label to buy the rights to it again?
