Over fluttering hi hats, Nadia’s low vocals are warped through a choir of vocoders, recalling the ghost-in-the-machine vibes of Bon Iver’s 22, A Million. Fresh from a failed relationship, she’s haunted, unable to shake the image of her ex from her consciousness (“I cannot replace you / Staring at me...
[First Verse:]
Low, hit low
Aiming for the basement
My drum is slow
And I cannot invade you
I cannot repla-a-a—ace ya
Staring at me like you're a statue
You're way too scary ya
Material
I need to break ya
[Chorus:]
I see things
I see things
I, I, I see things
Yeah, yeah
I see things
I see things
I, I, I see things
[Second Verse:]
Low speak low
You don't even have to exist
My vapour my smoke
You can turn into it
I cannot repla-a-a—ace ya
Staring at me like I don't know ya
You're way too gone any way (anyway)
Throwin shade (Throwin shade)
I need to fade ya
[Chorus:]
I see things
I see things
I, I, I see things
Yeah, yeah
I see things
I see things
I, I, I see things
I see things
I see things
I, I, I see things
Yeah, yeah
I see things
I see things
I, I, I see things
[Bridge: Mwuana]
I was really about it I was ready for us
But your cheating caught me by surprise
Sneaking on me, you was creeping on me
I was sleeping in a bed a lies
Not thinking clearly, now I see it baby
I was trapped inbetween ya thighs
But you downgraded, yeah you done baby
That's right
Cause I read things
How you move around like I don't see things
You only hit me up when you need things
Like a place to stay, and some cash support
And the weed thing, that's like three things
Quit playin' like you ain't stayin
Like you don't believe things, not knowing how good I treat things
So go, please go, I know you got your reasons
Everything feels so cold, so cold, your fire left me freezing
I see things
[Outro:]
I cannot repla-a-a—ace ya
Staring at me like I don't know ya
(I see things I-I-I hey)
You're way too gone anyway
Throwin' shade
Yeah I can fade ya
(I see things........)
Yeah I can fade ya
Yeah I can fade ya
Yeah I can fade
