Labyrinth
X.Y.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, grab my hand and call me babes (mhm baby)
It's like you're on a different page yeah
Is it something bout my age
You say you love this other bitch
She's more annoying than an itch
When we're together it's like a wish
C'mon on and be my happiness
We work together like a clock
I'm there for you just like a rock
Power couple if we want
You say it's not like that, no
Then why'd you kiss me back, yeah
C'mon girl and say it back yeah
You love me that's a fact (fact)
Been too busy idolizing to keep myself from realizing
You don't wanna be my girl
You don't wanna be my world
You don't wanna be mine, mine, mine
Girl I show you all the time, time, time
Wanna be yours all my life, life, life
I keep hittin' that rewind, wind, wind
So I can relive that time, time, time
When you would've been mine
You like to play around with hearts
I knew who you were exactly from the start
Can't be pushed around like shopping carts, no
Bull's eye with your Cupid dart
Ah-ah-ah
Do you love?
Do you hate me?
Did you know you were gonna play me?
Ah-ah-ah
Cause I knew just from the start
You were gonna break my heart
I-I-I
Don't know what to do cause
I-I-I'm
Proper head over fuckin' shoes
Seems like you
Could feel the same way too
Girl tell me is it real?
Is it all up in my head?
Tell me could we make a deal?
Yeah, just be honest how you feel
If you don't wanna be with me,
Why do you say the things you do?
Cause you love the idea, baby
Of me in love with you
I'm sick of living in your labyrinth
Startin' to feel just like a pattern
Lacking lithium call me Saturn
Your heart's just like a cavern (empty I)
Been too busy idolizing to keep myself from realizing
You don't wanna be my girl
You don't wanna be my world
You don't wanna be mine, mine, mine
Girl I show you all the time, time, time
Wanna be yours all my life, life, life
I keep hittin' that rewind, wind, wind
So I can relive that time, time, time
When you would've been mine
Oh this could've been for life, life, life
Wanted you to be my wife, wife, wife
You know it ain't right, right, right
Cause I wasted all this time, time, time
You just should've been mine
The song Labyrinth by X.Y.R. is about being in love with someone who seems to be playing games with the singer's heart. The singer is confused by the mixed signals, as the person they love seems to be interested one moment and then distant the next. The singer wants to believe that their love is reciprocated, but they are beginning to realize that the other person may not feel the same way.
The singer feels frustrated and trapped in a "labyrinth" of emotions, unable to escape the feeling of being in love with someone who doesn't want them back. They question why the other person says the things they do if they don't want to be with them, and wonder if the affection is just an idea that the other person likes to toy with. The lyrics vividly describe the feeling of being in love but also feeling lost and unsure about the future.
Overall, Labyrinth is a beautifully written song that captures the confusion and heartache of falling in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way. The singer's vulnerability and honesty about their feelings make the lyrics relatable and poignant.
