Unconditional feat. KAYTRANADA
Tinashe feat. KAYTRANADA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes my heart's so cold (makes my heart's so cold)
You don't call me (you don't call me)
Check my pulse, I can't feel it anymore
Can't feel it anymore, feel it anymore
Check my pulse, I can't feel it anymore
Waitin' on my love to walk through the door
Waitin' for you (yeah, huh)
Keep my hopes up every time, I don't even know
How we set the bar so low (ooh)
I forgive you for whatever you've done to me
That's how much I love you
That's how much I fuck with you (that's how much I fuck with you)
I would give you room to figure it all out
That's how much I'm stuck with you (that's how much I'm stuck with you)
Unconditional love comes with a price
Two steps, oh
Two steps forward, one step back
We can never stay on track
Spent all day avoiding your phone
Now we both back at square one
I know it hurts when I'm not there
Don't understand why you're so scared
Pushed me away then wonder
Where is the one who always cared
So I guess if you want me, you got me, baby, I'm yours now
They want a ticket to ride, well, sorry, lil' baby, we sold out
And I dare you to find someone who gonna be more down
If we fightin' for love, well baby, I'm ready to throw down
So I guess if you want me, you got me, baby, I'm yours now
They want a ticket to ride, well, sorry, lil' baby, we sold out
And I dare you to find someone who gonna be more down (more down)
If we fightin' for love, well baby, I'm ready to throw down
Not only are the masks shed off
But also the notion that war is romantic
The idea that there are heroes
And these heroes are supposed to be idolized
And idolized because of what they do in war
In Tinashe's song "Unconditional," she sings about a love that is hard to let go despite the pain it brings. The lyrics describe the feeling of being left waiting for someone who may not come back. The repetition of "feed my silence" and "makes my heart's so cold" emphasize the emptiness and distance that has taken over the relationship. Tinashe expresses that the unconditional love she has for her partner comes with a price, implying that she is willing to endure the challenges of the relationship. Furthermore, the chorus where Tinashe sings "two steps forward, one step back, we can never stay on track," showcases the inconsistency and instability of their romance. However, Tinashe declares that despite the ups and downs of their love, she is still dedicated to the relationship and ready to keep fighting for it. The song's meaning lies in the pain that love can bring, and how it can be difficult to let go of someone, even when it isn't working.

@Saa Ovic exactly! Talent!!

Her versatility is really unmatched. She’s the only artist that I know of who can have beautiful ballads, R&B bops and trap bangers in one album without it being all over the place.
