This lyric illustrates one's frustration with others - the need to do things on your own because certain people are unreliable. It is highly accusatory and calls people out: 'haters' and 'fakers'. I am sure a lot of people will be able to relate to situations where they have been let down. Sometimes, it is easy to become fed up with others. It further emphasises losing hope in friendships. The overall vibes/atmosphere of the lyrics are angry and wistful in situations where you must put your faith in others, but are slightly hopeful and empowering to one's self. Genres: Pop, Hip-Hop, RnB, and possibly some sub-genres of Rap. This lyric fits perfectly into the aforementioned genres.

This lyric describes the fear of losing something/someone you love. Perhaps, one would prefer to have 'nothing' because you can't lose 'nothing', but you can lose 'something'. It further illuminates the need to hold on and contemplate whether it is worth taking the risk, knowing that this thing/person is of sentiment. Sometimes we have to be brave and take the risk of losing something/someone if it is what we truly want. Sometimes it's worth it. The overall vibe/atmosphere of this lyric is fearful, especially in matters of love. Genres: Ballads, RnB, Pop. It fits perfectly into the aforementioned genres.

Thoughts on the darkness of 2020 and early 2021

We are all guilty of "idealizing" the past and often imaging things in our memories to be better than they were. This song reflects on the fact that nothing stays the same and that we would have to give up parts of who we are now, who we've become to step back in time to those imagined ideal times...

This song is about celebrating who you are in both the good and bad parts of your personality.
