The third single from the album Heterosexuality,, “'Reproductive’ is a song that holds many meanings,” says Shamir in a statement. “It’s not as thematically poignant as most of my other songs. It’s a lyrically dense lament that touches on highly personal grievances such as generational curses, karma...
[Verse 1]
Returned Venus, love is meaningless
For the first twenty-five
And I guess that’s alright with me
Life gets tricky when you’re breaking
Curses from another life
In the hopes that the next one will be
[Chorus 1]
A reward for all the strife I hold within me
So much that it’s almost comical
At best, I’m exceedingly protean
And at worst, I’ll never know peace
[Verse 2]
Reproductive and destruction
From which I can’t come back
And God knows I know that, but still
I’ll stay focused on my purpose
Donе holding myself back
The world will do that for me
[Chorus 2]
In thе off-chance I have a moment of clarity
It magnifies the ugly truth
I’ll make sure the evil ends here with me
If it’s the only thing I do
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
Returned Venus, death is seamless when you sharpen the knife
There’s a chance you might not even bleed
