The main protagonist has ended a relationship with his other half; simply because she couldn’t deal with the time and space apart he needed to pursue his ambitions. It’s a reflection song where the protagonist realises the relationship ended because both of them couldn’t see from each other’s angle. A love triangle between him, his partner and his ambition.
lyrics
Triangles Lyrics
Verse:
“I just want you.” (Sample)
How I feel sometimes, feel to put you in my will sometimes.
Fuck going out wanna chill sometimes, sex o’clock lemme kill some time.
I mean six o’clock she gonna get that nine.
Them man were giving her the quarter to five.
I wasn’t giving her all of my time.
You wasn’t giving me your all but you tried.
“I just want you.” (Sample)
Yeah you tried. I said I just want you but I lied.
Cos I must’ve had two on the side.
So that’s a big mac, drink and fries.
And when I think back you didn’t ride.
But I’m still writing while you cry.
Man I’m still grinding man alie?
But you’re still my ting in my mind.
Breakdown:
Yeah I just want you by my side, but I need some space give me time.
Verse:
This ain’t a song about you, not a song about me.
Couldn’t be a song about two, but a song about three.
It’s about you, me and she.
Try angles you ain’t seen,
my angle you ain’t me.
And I ain’t you so I can’t see.
I can’t speak, no I can’t breathe.
I can’t sleep, so I can’t dream.
And I can’t keep her, keep focus.
Don’t wanna leave, but these hoes is.
Following me, and she knows it.
I wanna beat, she wanna hold it.
I wanna reach, all these goals and.
I don’t wanna speak, so keep phoning.
They never knew I, I knew I’d blow.
Because I do I, I do I know they can’t do it like.
So move up, I’m in my zone.
Don’t know where you are, but you ain’t close.
You ain’t in my sight.
(Taliwhoah)
The choice was never left to me, so please don’t blame it all on me.
Now it’s all over.
(JAYAHMUSIC)
Yeah it’s all over.
I’m not sober, just wanna hold ya, it’s all over.
(Taliwhoah)
It’s not your fault it’s not our time, our lessons learned so we’ll be fine.
Now it’s all over.
(JAYAHMUSIC)
Yeah it’s all over.
(Protagonist reminisces while listening to a voicemail of his former partner).
Outro:
And it just don’t stop, no it just don’t stop, man the shit don’t stop.
I gotta, I gotta get back up.
