Featuring a heavy bass and electronic influences, the alternative-pop “Gemini Feed” details BANKS' relationship with an emotionally manipulative ex-lover.
In a track-by-track interview with Refinery29, BANKS said:
It’s about a relationship I was in that was very intense. I feel strange even talkin...
[Intro]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, you just wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
[Verse 1]
Open up your eyes
There's nothing on my body left to see
I tried a thousand times
I tried to say "I love you", but you didn't hear me
And you're passive-aggressive
Convinced me other people they don't care about me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive, hey
[Chorus]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
[Verse 2]
Ode to my two thighs
I still want you to kiss 'em 'cause they're lonely
And why you so surprised
That when I said "I miss you", you never believed me?
And we were so depressive
You and me together, we were Gemini feed
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we were so depressive
We were so depressive
We were so depressive, hey
[Chorus]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
[Bridge]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
[Chorus]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
Gemini Feed was produced by Chris Spilfogel & SOHN.
BANKS released Gemini Feed on Wed Aug 03 2016.
It’s about a relationship I was in that was very intense. I feel strange even talking about this song because it’s like a diary entry. But what I will say is this: the people who affect you the most are the ones closest to you, and usually the ones you know you really love.
Banks’s birthday is on June the 16th, which means her star sign is Gemini. In this context, however, Banks references “Gemini” because the sign is represented by a pair of twins.
It is said that couples who are too similar to each other are less likely to last. However, in this case, the issue was...
