You see right through me
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you? How do you?
How do you? How do you?
How do you?

You let me win, you let me ride
You let me rock, you let me slide
And when they lookin', you let me hide
Defend my honor, protect my pride
The good advice, I always hated
But lookin' back, it made me greater
You always told me forget the haters
Just get my money, just get my weight up
Know when I'm lyin', know when I'm cryin'
It's like you got it down to a science
Why am I tryin'? Know you ain't buyin'
I tried to fight it back with defiance
You make me laugh, you make me hoarse
From yellin' at you and gettin' at you
Pickin' up dishes, throwin' 'em at you
Why are you speakin' when no one asked you?

You see right through me
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you? How do you?
How do you? How do you?
How do you?
You see right through me
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
How do you?

What are we doin'? Could you see through me?
'Cause you say, "Nicki," and I say, "Who, me?"
And you say, "No, you," and I say, "Screw you"
Then you start dressin' and you start leavin'
And I start cryin' and I start screamin'
The heavy breathin', but what's the reason?
Always get the reaction you wanted
I'm actually frontin', I'm askin' you somethin', yo
Answer this question, class is in session
Tired of lettin' passive-aggression
Control my mind, capture my soul
Okay, you're right, just let it go
Okay, you got it, it's in the can
Before I played it, you knew my hand
You could turn a free throw to a goal
Nigga got the peephole to my soul

You see right through me
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you? How do you?
How do you? How do you?
How do you?
You see right through me
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
How do you?

Stop (ooh)
Stop (ooh)
Won't you just stop lookin' through me? 'Cause I can't take it
No, I can't take it
You see right

You see right through me
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you do that shit?
How do you? How do you?
How do you? How do you?
How do you?
You see right through me
You see right through me, baby
You see right through me (do that shit)
You see right through me (how do you do that shit?)
How do you do that? How do you do that?
How do you do that? How do you do that?
Baby

    I agree with Jarry but want to add a few things. Its obvious this guy knows everything about her including all of her imperfections and mood swings. Even in Nicki's moments of anger, temper tantrums (ex: throwing dishes) or breakdowns, he can see through it all. In this song Nicki sounds a wee bit frustrated by this, but ultimately shes saying she appreciates how well he know her. Speaking from a girls standpoint, I will agree, this is freaking maddening! While it may be rare and special to find someone who is so in tune to you, it really makes you vulnerable and exposed to your partner. In relationships like this, you will never have 'control' in arguments or tantrums. But imho, couples who are truly in love wouldn't want or need to have the power of manipulation on their partner. I can see how having a relationship like this would make One hesitant, especially when you've always used these 'antics' as means of personal protection and security. I suppose when Love is true you can see through all the BS and dont need these games. It seems that Nicki at first 'tried to fight it, back with defiance,' (her defense mechanism, possibly) but he ended up 'captur[ing] her soul.' And even though she doesn't have the upper-hand she is grateful for him, and that 'looking back it made me greater.' Makes a boat-load of sense to me! ;)

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
