Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It ain't working honey
I see you're trying to make me jealous, it ain't working honey
I see you lurking, see you peeping, it ain't working honey
No yeah, yeah
Two A.M late at night yeah I'm flying
Thinking 'bout you every night yeah I'm dying
Oh yeah I don't wanna die no more
Yeah it's a freestyle I know
I never expected the love that you gave me
Never wanted to be apart cause I hate it
Now I just pulled up back in my room
Take me back to my tomb
Laying, waiting just for you
What's the move?
Baby, what's the move?
I need a clue
I need a clue, oh well
Diamonds shining oh you can tell, oh well
I threw my penny in the well, oh well
Said she's toxic I'm like oh well, oh well
She don't miss me, I'm like oh well, oh well
Told her call me Sean-blizzsy
A lot of women fucking with me
Just like Gunna, this shit is way too easy
Yeah yeah, way too easy
It ain't working honey yeah, yeah
It ain't working honey
I see you trying to make me jealous, it ain't working honey
I see you lurking, see you peeping it ain't working honey
No yeah, yeah
Two A.M late at night, yeah I'm flying
Thinking 'bout you every night yeah I'm dying
Oh yeah, I don't wanna die no more
In "Collapse," Zond-8 describes a failed attempt by a woman to make him jealous. He sees through her attempts and remains unaffected. The chorus serves as a reminder that her efforts are "not working" and he is onto her tricks. The second verse has Zond-8 confessing his love for her, and how her absence is affecting him. He is laying in his room, waiting for her and wishing to go back to when they were together. However, he is still aware of her toxic behavior, and acknowledges it with "She's toxic, I'm like oh well." The song ends with him repeating the chorus, highlighting his resistance to her trying to play games with him.
As a whole, "Collapse" is a song about recognizing toxic relationships and standing strong against efforts to manipulate or control. The use of the word "collapse" suggests that the relationship is slowly crumbling and coming to an end.
