LYRICS:
your friends were so scary
i wish you were more like them
it was just like a movie
you carried me up into to your room raggedy ann legs
i said can i just sleep on the air bed?
no no no
drove me from the bar
straight to the ER
while i bled on your car
the doctor was mean
but you called him a dumbass and waited there all night
and then you said sorry
and it wasn’t mine, right?
no no no
no no no
i shouldn’t have picked up
your logic was giant
rendered me on my way and quiet
and i loved coming over
cuz it felt like dying
and after you finished
you asked if i was crying
no no no
no no no
called on a sunday
shaking like crazy
said i got a shrink and she said the same thing
that everyone else did
and then it was silent
you said alright am i being indicted
no no no
no no no
we played the greek theater
you would’ve loved it
noah said can i ask about something
so i tried to tell him
mostly from your side
and then i stopped breathing
so we did an exercise
4 in 6 out
“samia why would it
matter what happened
after you said”
no no no
no no no
no no no

The bravery and strength it took to release this is unimaginable. Samia didn't even try to hide herself behind a bunch of instruments. She's front and center, telling a story that we shouldn't have the privilege of knowing. Listening to this for the first time and slowly realizing what the track is about is heartbreaking. The ending "no, no, no" is the twist of the knife. Thank you for your vulnerability on this track.

Would be exponentially better if she didn’t hide behind auto-tune and just sang for real.

[@karladrianza5825]

@@allthecommonsense the autotune was intentional. she explained/shared a fan’s interpretation of the song about how after something really traumatic, it’s often a response to freeze up or go void of emotion/robotic when retelling it to avoid feeling everything that comes with processing it fully, so it’s adding the layer of how difficult it is to retell trauma and the ways we cope with it. she has a great voice and doesn’t use it in most of her music! just an artistic choice :)

[@allthecommonsense]

@@karladrianza5825 appreciate the nuance. That seems plausible :-)

I love this interaction so much. Different opinions but open to dialogue

[@noafreire9450]

i saw Samia in concert on a whim in the city last february because i knew the band that was opening for her and this was the first song she sang. hearing this song live genuinely shook me to my core. i'd never heard it before, nor did i know what it was called, but it stuck with me to the point where when i got home it was the first one from her tracklist that i needed to find. it is the most gut wrenching and heartbreaking song i've ever heard, vulnerable and beautiful. i love it with my whole soul.

got full body chills and made me cry on the very first listen

[@Heyheyheyjackson]

I cherish the fact that I am alive to experience every masterpiece samia releases

[@benhartweaver9276]

You call this a masterpiece? 🤣 You need to improve your musical tastes.

[@George2647g]

Bruh!? Check out Sade - much better and classier.. less auto tune.. more raw talent and style..

[@ynnahhh12]

@@George2647g i love women men don’t find “classy” bc wtf does that even mean

[@George2647g]

@@ynnahhh12 If you watch Sade and don't know what it means then there's no saving you... I'm a woman so there's that too...

[@ashlyn5787]

@@benhartweaver9276 it may not be good to you in a typical musical sense, but everything she chooses to do in this song is there for a reason. its not supposed to be an enjoyable song, but it is an incredible piece and successfully portrays the hurt she was experiencing. this is poetry in song form

[@lunafessehaye4159]

oh my god samia im actually rendered speechless and will forever cherish the fact that you chose to share this song with us, i will hold it so close to my heart everyday

[@celiadiva13]

this song breaks my heart every time i hear it and at the same time i feel so understood in a way i haven’t been before. thank you samia for releasing this song ❤

[@zzzzzy0]

Heavy lyrics. Great song.

[@sw5543]

For her age it’s unbelievable how much she’s developed her sound. Younger artists tend to get somewhat understandably scared into sounding a bit more like everyone else and usually end up losing ‘their’ voice and making utterly forgettable - even if occasionally catchy or fun - drivel. Also - whoever does her production and mixing is crazy good. Not bad for Peggy Hill’s daughter!

[@whosthatpanda7935]

Song of the year hands down. One of the most emotional songs I've ever heard and so masterfully crafted.

[@maria-nx1ct]

this is crushing

[@user-jw9jf2bz7v]

And she said the same thing
That everyone else did”
This always makes me feel like I’m going to throw up iykyk
