Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't help that I'm falling
I've been down bad since august
But that's not important
You and me used to be toxic
I don't give a 'cause you're gorgeous
Keep talking all that nonsense
I'ma make it work i promise
Straight up, it's like that
I don't care no more
Say what? What's that?
I don't care no more
So what, too bad
I don't care no more
I don't care no more
I don't care
Paint it silver so you can see that I'm clearly trying to be
With you with you
This is something that turned into nothing now your feelings are free
With you with you
I can tell you've found some confidence
You exposed your skin in the closet
Now you talk about last august
Like we never even walked in
Falling
I can't help that I'm falling
I've been down bad since august
But that's not important
You and me used to be toxic
I don't give a 'cause you're gorgeous
Keep talking all that nonsense
I'ma make it work i promise
Yeah
Straight up, it's like that
I don't care no more
Say what? What's that?
I don't care no more
So what, too bad
I don't care no more
I don't care no more
I don't care
Straight up, it's like that
I don't care no more
Say what? What's that?
I don't care no more
So what, too bad
I don't care no more
I don't care no more
Falling
I can't help that I'm falling
I've been down bad since august
But that's not important
You and me used to be toxic
I don't give a 'cause you're gorgeous
Keep talking all that nonsense

Yeah
Straight up, it's like that
I don't care no more
Say what? What's that?
I don't care no more
So what, too bad

In Jonah Renna's song AUGUST, the lyrics outline a narrative of a past romantic relationship that has ended but still holds significance to the singer. The singer admits to falling for their ex-partner, seemingly unable to help themselves despite the problems that arose during the relationship. The line "I've been down bad since August, but that's not important" suggests that something significant happened in the month of August that may have contributed to the downfall of the relationship - this could be a nod towards a breakup or a change in circumstances for one or both parties involved.
The chorus is characterized by a declaration of apathy towards the ex-partner's opinions and actions, with the singer claiming that they "don't care no more". Despite this, the singer acknowledges their attraction to the ex-partner and their physical appearance, saying "You and me used to be toxic, I don't give a 'cause you're gorgeous, keep talking all that nonsense, I'ma make it work I promise". Overall, the song communicates the contradictory emotions that can arise after a breakup, where the singer is still drawn to their ex-partner but also struggles to move on.
