Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But tonight, I think I lost the plot instead
I said that I'd be cleared out by three
To the walls, I know they listen to me
The teachers always called it a shame
They say I don't have passion the same
As I did a few years before
They don't see the light there anymore
They call it sad, but they're the outside lookin' in
I mean they can't understand when they all cope with everything
And when I opened my heart, in front of my friends, finally
It was not what I thought, 'cause they're not there anymore
I called my dad, he told me, "There's no room for me"
Down at the house that we had when we were living as a three
Now that my family's gone, almost as far as I can see
I think they love me I'm sure, but they're not there anymore (hey)
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
Where can I sleep tonight?
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
I'm breakin' them in half, they always say
I never wanted them to end this way
And now I have to gather all my things
They don't know the problems that I bring
They call it sad, but they're the outside lookin' in
I mean they can't understand when they all cope with everything
And when I opened my heart, in front of my friends, finally
It was not what I thought, 'cause they're not there anymore
In "Passion" by pinkpantheress, the lyrics explore feelings of isolation, displacement, and a lack of passion. The singer begins the song by referencing their need to clear their head, but ultimately feeling lost instead. They mention a deadline of leaving by three, suggesting they are in a temporary or transitional living situation. This sense of instability is further emphasized when the singer says that they know the walls are listening to them, almost as if they are the only constant in their life. The lyrics then reference the singer's teachers calling it a shame that they don't have the same passion as before, suggesting that they may feel pressure to perform or live up to a certain standard. However, the singer also acknowledges that those outside of their situation can't fully understand the complexities of their emotions.
The second verse further delves into themes of family and the search for a sense of belonging. The singer mentions calling their dad and feeling like there's no room for them, potentially indicating strained family relationships or living situations. They also say that their family is almost as far as they can see, again emphasizing a sense of distance and isolation. The closing lines of the song "They call it sad, but they're the outside looking in..." reiterates the idea that those outside of the singer's situation can't fully comprehend their feelings or experiences. The singer also mentions opening their heart in front of their friends, only to find that they are not there anymore, perhaps highlighting feelings of abandonment or disappointment.
Overall, "Passion" is a poignant exploration of feeling disconnected and struggling to find a sense of purpose or belonging. The lyrics convey a deep sense of emotion and vulnerability, drawing the listener in and encouraging them to empathize with the singer's experiences.

Said I had to clear up my head
I announced that I needed to think and figure things out
But tonight, I think I lost the plot instead
But today, I got overwhelmed and confused
I said that I'd be cleared out by three
I said that I would sort everything out by 3 pm
To the walls, I know they listen to me
I'm talking to the walls because I feel like they're paying more attention than people are
The teachers always called it a shame
Even my teachers disapprove of my lack of passion
They say I don't have passion the same
They say that I am not as passionate as I used to be
As I did a few years before
They feel that I have lost the passion that I had some years ago
They don't see the light there anymore
They can't see the spark inside me anymore
They call it sad, but they're the outside lookin' in
They say it's a pity, but they can't fully understand
I mean they can't understand when they all cope with everything
They don't get it because they seem to have everything together
And when I opened my heart, in front of my friends, finally
When I finally opened up to my friends and showed them what I'm going through
It was not what I thought, 'cause they're not there anymore
It wasn't what I expected because they're not around like they used to be
I called my dad, he told me, "There's no room for me"
I called my father, and he said he couldn't take me in
Down at the house that we had when we were living as a three
He couldn't take me in at the house where we used to live when we were a family of three
Now that my family's gone, almost as far as I can see
My family is now scattered far apart
I think they love me I'm sure, but they're not there anymore (hey)
I know they love me, but it's just not the same because they're not here anymore
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
Where can I sleep tonight?
Where will I spend the night? (indicated by humming)
I'm breakin' them in half, they always say
I'm tearing things apart, and people always criticize me for it
I never wanted them to end this way
I never planned for things to turn out like this
And now I have to gather all my things
And now I have to pack my belongings
They don't know the problems that I bring
They don't realize the issues I carry with me
