[Verse: Logic]
Seem like my whole life changed in the last year
At parties with legends like "what the fuck I’m doing here?"
Waiting for someone to say "what the fuck you doing here?"
Until I realized I belonged, had nothing to fear
Who would’ve thought I would mingle with celebrity singles
In a room full of Grammy winners discussing they singles
Some people love you, some people hate you
Some people need you, some people act like they know you
But they can’t even read you
The effort I put into music still the same amount
Cause ain't a damn thing changed 'cept the bank account
I remember the day I got my advance money
I’m talkin so much bread, this shit'll make you dance money
What's the first thing I did?
Got my team out the way and then I got myself a crib
My boy Lenny gave me a place to stay for a year
Put food in my stomach, I had nothing to fear
And once that 365 was up, I told him to quit his job
And gave him a new career
So many rappers on that stupid superstar shit
But I plan to eat with the people I starved with
I’ve made money, I’ve lost money, I’ve spent money
I've slept outside due to lack of the rent money
I’ve been in love, been happy, been through a lot of pain
Cause what the fuck is sunshine without a little rain?
And love is like leaves in the fall
Cause some people get scared and leave when you fall
Speaking of which, I met this girl the other day
The type of girl that make the pain fade away
And I have a feeling she gon' be my next
Cause she make me forget all about my ex
I’m talking something that’s deeper than just sex
But I don’t want her to be the third letter in the word next
Old soul in the sea of love
I’m just not current, none of the above
And man fuck all that depressing shit
Let’s get this money and fuck these bitches
You know what I’m sayin?
Sike nah, all of y'all just know that I’m playin
Cause all the money you possess
Ain’t what makes you a man
Big shot, tough guy, blow 100 grand
But you still in the same place, damn
But man the world is so fascinating
Ambition got these girls gravitating
And honestly it strokes the ego
But beautiful women ain’t good for nothing
Except procrastinating
I got a show in Paris coming up
Followed by London, I’mma tear it up
So many people just don’t care enough
Analyzing faces in the crowd staring up
What's the difference between me and them?
How come I ain’t in the crowd at they show seeing them?
What that guy see in me that he ain’t see in him?
Cause honestly I see no difference between me and him
We all people, all equal, we all the same
Lookin for control tryna play the game
We all got issues, just different magazines
We all sleep but have different dreams
However once you’re awake and your life ain’t what it seems
And that’s the reason I’m living within my own dream
Hell yea, fuck 'em all, like I’m runnin from the law
Haters probably think they phase me, I’m like no, not at all
I’m too high up, now to fall
Like a sphere, bitch I ball
Never asked me where my team at
Cause you know I brought em all
And if you’re looking for a problem then we can get it solved
I just kill them with kindness, keep it peace and it dissolve
You got bitches, I got Bobby Soxer girls that be ride or die
A shawty on another level, let me catch a vibe
Super bad girl, IQ is in the sky
She graduated cum laude, your bitch went to DeVry
God damn, oh girl, she a go getta
At the party takin shots like a Beretta
Doing anything and everything to feel better
And now she in the crib getting high like a falsetto
How you feeling, I be yelling
"Why these motherfuckers grilling?"
And she give me life ‘cause I’m making a killing
Bring it down, do it slow, show me how that really go
Girl I’m new in town, I don’t really know
They be like, when you gonna tell me that you love me?
I be like bitch I gotta hit the studio, ho
Now she got me on the crib, talkin that she wanna do it
Condom on the dresser looking at me like ain't nothing to it
Thinking should I do it though, I don't even know the ho
I don't even know the ho, I don't even know the ho

[Elijah Blake]
Sayin', "Oh, Mama I made it"
Oh, Mama I made it
You cannot tell me no
But the young boy made a way
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I said, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
