ZAYNAbout
“Calamity” is the first song of ZAYN’s where he raps. It’s the only rap song on the album. You can hear his Bradford accent very clearly, contrary to his previous songs.
Nobody can be too sure of what this song really means. So far, you can kind of estimate that Zayn is feeling not in control, in a...
Calamity Lyrics
[Verse]
Nostalgia, what a funny feelin'
I feel depleted from feelings I've been revealin'
It's do or die, I'm not goin' willing
But when it's time, wrap in white linen
I rap this, I say it for my sanity
Whatever the calamity, I did this for myself
Fuck all of your fantasies
You're a snake, fell off the ladder
I prefer speakin' in analogies
I've had enough of all this wet
And I can't trust that you're my family
I don't know what's next
The brain dead that I never miss
My brain lives with the cannabis
Can I resist the dark abyss?
Leave a mark on this with no start, just exist
My mind's in a prism shape
And in timеs like a prison state
Therе's no right that I feel of late
There's no light if my view's at stake
And which life should I choose to take?
What's left, is it room or space?
There are rumours we have to face
I prefer sooner than after late
I seen actors after BAFTA's be more straight
I mean down the barrel
I hear 'em sing, it's the same carol
They're tryna sprint in a long run, Mo Farah
They're tryna fix when it's long gone, don't bother
There's no other, the thought shudders through most lovers
I wanna bed you, but still sleep is death's cousin
So two weeks is now four dozen
Years that pass by, can't press no rewind
Just watch my life by and lock the right ties
[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin'
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me
Nobody, nobody-ayy is listenin' to me

What have the artist said about the song?
On a March 2021 interview with The Zach Sang Show, Zayn explained:
It’s almost spoken word, but it’s also a little bit of rap and poetry mixed together, and I do that a lot, for writing reasons. When I’m songwriting, I’ll just write poems and then I’ll take lyrics from that later on. It was one of...
