“Picasso” metaphorically portrays relationships as a blend of artistic beauty and emotional turmoil. The artistic references throughout the lyrics are a nod to Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, known for co-founding the Cubism movement in the 20th-century.

[Verse 1]
Oh my God, I think that I am in over my head
I have let the chaos in and now it's in my bed
[Pre-Chorus]
January morning fights and April rendezvous
You paint only tragedy and I'll keep coming back to you
[Chorus]
Where'd you learn to break a heart?
Turn the torture into art
Who the hell d'you think you are
Picasso? Oh-oh-oh
Painting burns and painful scars
Brushing on my body parts
I'd do anything for my
Picasso, oh-oh
[Post-Chorus]
I'm still so in love with you
I'd run into a burning room
I'd pose and let you paint me black and blue
Picasso, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
You said hi and I saw stars, I should've looked away (Quand je n'ai pas de bleu)
I had no idea something so breathtaking could cause such pain (Je mets du rouge)
[Pre-Chorus]
January morning fights and April rendezvous (Rendezvous)
You paint only tragedy and I'll keep coming back to you
[Chorus]
Where'd you learn to break a heart?
Turn the torture into art
Who the hell d'you think you are
Picasso? Oh-oh-oh
Painting burns and painful scars
Brushing on my body parts
I'd do anything for my
Picasso, oh-oh
[Post-Chorus]
I'm still so in love with you
I'd run into a burning room
I'd pose and let you paint me black and blue
Picasso, oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da (Oh-oh-oh)
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da (Oh-oh-oh)
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da (Oh-oh-oh)
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Oh my God, I think that I am in over my head

“Picasso” is about one of those toxic loves that you know is bad for you, but there’s something amazing about it that keeps you coming back. You always hope that things are going to turn out for the best, so you keep giving chances when maybe in hindsight you should’ve stopped early doors. This song...
