Description

Everything here sounds like a nighttime chronicle of the golden youth - glittering cards, club smoke, cars until morning, and mild amnesia in the morning. The words are like screenshots of conversations, mixing complaints, confessions, and memes. There is no attempt to justify oneself in these lines, only a statement of fact: some people know how to play, destroy, and put things back together, while others find themselves back where they were the night before.

The beats are soft, with a predatory glitch, as if this glittering world of gloss and flights to Dubai is parodying itself. The song smells of expensive perfume left on a T-shirt and melancholy hidden behind a hoarse “sha-ha-oh.” Beautiful, bold, unfiltered - an honest sketch of how luxury and emptiness dance the same dance.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Sha-ah-oh-oh (oh, baby)

Sha-ah-oh-oh (oh, baby)

Sha-ah-oh-oh (ah-da-da-da-da-da-da)

Sha-ah, oh, babe

I left my AmEx at the bar last night

Don't know how I called a car

I must've stumbled at and landed in your place

I guess it wasn't too far

I always find the opportunity for mistake

That hit me hard the next day

When you pull up the memory and erase

'Cause that's just how you are

Wrote all these songs about you

And you never even said a word

Not even just a single word

I guess "congrats" is your least favorite word

And if you know you had my heart

Could never finish what you started

You love to pick my world apart

But that's just how you are, are, are

But that's just how you are, are, are

But that's just how you are, are, are

But that's just how you are, are, are

Nobu Atlantis in Dubai

You've been there more than a few times

Arousing my suspicion

At least you live a life worth living (a life worth living)

Still young

Never made bad decisions

Ain't nobody trippin'

Maybe them other niggas playing victim, mm

And this ain't my first rodeo

I was fuckin' vixens way before the fame

Giving models X before Tesla came (oh)

Wrote all these songs about you

And you never even said a word

Not even just a single word

I guess "congrats" is your least favorite word (my world)

And if you know you have my heart (oh-oh)

Could never finish what you started

You love to pick my world apart (my world)

But that's just how you are, are, are

But that's just how you are, are, are

But that's just how you are, are, are

But that's just how you are, are, are
