Drifting
uli-k Lyrics

I know that I was wrong
Acknowledging that one has made a mistake

I'm sorry for my mistakes
Expressing regret for the wrongs or misdeeds that one has done

We let the pain drift away
Allowing the feeling of hurt or anguish to fade away slowly

And maybe one day we will say
Hoping for a future reconciliation or resolution of problems

Again, again, I want you
Expressing a strong desire to rekindle a past romantic relationship

Again, again, I want you, oh, oh
Repeatedly expressing the desire to be with someone

You say I'm acting up
Being told that one's behavior is inappropriate or out of control

That I shouldn't just cover-up
Being advised to not hide or conceal mistakes or flaws

All of these flaws
Recognizing and admitting personal faults or shortcomings

Don't do this shit for applause
Not doing something for recognition or validation from others

Make me fill up my cup, till it overflows
Desiring more of something than one may need, going overboard

Tryna drink like you never was
Attempting to forget or cope with past hurt through excessive indulgence in alcohol

Part of my life
Referring to a past romantic partner who was once a significant part of one's life

But I chose, to keep you here
Opting to hold on to the memories and feelings of a past romance or relationship

When they all said I should let go
Ignoring advice from others to move on from a past relationship

This shit arose out of friendship
Referring to a romantic relationship that developed from a previous friendship

Mad love, it's too tragic
Expressing strong feelings of love that may have resulted in a negative outcome

Now I'm with these hoes
Being involved with multiple romantic partners

Acting erratic
Behaving in a unpredictable or unstable manner

Drinking liquor, yeah I'm feeling ecstatic
Feeling euphoric and happy due to the consumption of alcohol

Say I'm being dramatic
Being accused of overreacting or exaggerating a situation

And that this isn't me
Perceiving oneself differently than how one is currently behaving

I'm trying to believe
Attempting to convince oneself of something

But somehow I can't see
Struggling to see the truth or reality of a situation

Cause I'm tripping, acting wild
Behaving erratically or irresponsibly due to emotions or intoxication

Start to wonder if I've changed
Questioning if one's values or demeanor have shifted over time

I'm like how could that be now
Expressing disbelief at a perceived personal transformation

Would these bitches be here really if I wasn't rapping now?
Reflecting on the authenticity of current romantic partners and wondering if they are only present for fame or success

Now tell me now
Directly asking for information or clarification

And I remember all the places where we haven't been
Recalling memories or experiences that were never shared with a past romantic partner

But then I hope that you come back again
Hoping for a future reunion and reconciliation with a past romantic partner

Back in my arms, One more time
Desiring to embrace and hold a past romantic partner one last time

You say I lack that trust
Being accused of not being trustworthy in a current or past relationship

That this ain't love but it is lust
Suggesting that one's romantic feelings may be primarily driven by sexual desire rather than emotional attachment

So I guess it must be true
Acknowledging the possibility that one's romantic feelings may indeed be based on lust rather than love

Or maybe It's this lifestyle, I'm just trying to adjust
Wondering if one's romantic confusion is a result of adapting to a new lifestyle or environment

Got close, Did shit, Only, With you, And now
Describing a past romantic relationship that was primarily physical and exclusive, but has now ended

It flew, We're drif- ting off, This shit, Fell through, Like a na- sty cough
Using metaphorical language to describe the end of a romantic relationship and the negative emotions associated with it

We wanna get rid but we can't, Even though we can't stand
Feeling trapped and unable to escape from the memories and feelings associated with a past relationship, even though they are unwanted

The sight of us together, So we just cut it off
Deciding to end a romantic relationship because seeing each other brings up negative emotions and memories

Yeah, maybe that's for the better
Speculating that the end of a romantic relationship may be for the best

Get up and leave, Next time you'll see, This leather and slick back will be on tv
Expressing a desire for future success and fame, despite the end of a romantic relationship

Yeah you were my treasure, But now I wanna put you in a chest and hide you far away where no-one finds you, ever
Using hyperbolic language to describe a past romantic partner as a treasured possession that is now discarded and unwanted

Again, again, I want you
Expressing a strong desire to rekindle a past romantic relationship

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Emphasizing the emotional intensity and earnestness of the desire to reunite with a past partner

Oh oh oh
Reiterating the emotional intensity of the desire to be with a past partner

Now now
Using repetition to emphasize a point or emotion
