Human beings, I feel like we have
a lot going against us romantically now.
There's so many reasons for something not to work,
like access that exes have to you now
because of social media,
all these options that you have, all these dating apps,
all those things that are made to make something not work.
Now imagine that you surpass everything
and you're the minority.
You're the one out of 100
that have found the other half of their heart.
And now that you've fucking done that obstacle course,
now someone's gonna tell you
that because of fucking invisible lines on the ground,
it's over.
It was me, Vegan, shout out, Vegan, and shout out, Rose,
mad sick producers,
talking about life and about love
and about long distance relationships,
and about how much that sucks.
About when you feel like you found a home in somebody,
and then, cause of reasons that you can't control,
you guys are ripped apart.
I think both of them were on keyboards,
but with different sounds,
and I was sitting, just rocking, and then it came.
It's really dope when it's like that,
when you don't have to write,
'cause sometimes you have to write shit down.
I see inspiration as, like, a faucet,
and God opens it and it's like, (imitates whooshing)
and it just comes out and you don't have to write shit.
And then sometimes it drips, and you have to build a song.
But that day, the faucet was open,
so it was just like a vibe.
I'm spiritual.
I come from a religious family.
You know it's a saying, it's a natural saying people say,
I swear to God, like there's just
more validity behind what you're saying
if you're willing to put your spirituality behind it.
So it's just knowing that the love you have
for somebody is that deep.
Even God knows I love you.
When you've met somebody and everyone else sucks,
that's joy, that's like happiness, that's home.
And when you are away from the person you love the most,
it doesn't matter where you are,
you'll still feel like you're missing something.
Like in Spanish when you say I miss you, you say,
Me haces falta
if you translate it back in a literal sense,
it means that I am missing something of mine.
I am missing something from me,
like a piece of me is missing.
So I think that's why it's important,
'cause then when that person comes,
if that love is really true
and it's organic and it's reciprocated,
then it feels like you're whole.
It's not just about two people, it's about families.
I know my parents are the loves of my life,
they're the greatest love I've known so far.
When I see what's happening and you see those articles,
and sometimes those people that are wrongfully accused,
they're being wrongfully persecuted,
you don't understand the background,
you don't understand what they were running from.
It's easy for me to see those articles and see that on TV,
and see a little girl that's my complexion,
that looks just like me when I was a kid,
and it crushed me 'cause that's trauma in the making
that someone else is causing.
It's easy to control people when they don't unite.
I feel like that statement in general,
even when taken out of the context of the song,
the government wants us to break up, is pretty applicable
in not just romantic relationships
but in life and social situations,
and wanting to make change, and activism.
Everything.
If people unite more,
then I feel like there will be more change.
When you're not in person and you have needs,
you can get on the phone to take care of your needs.
It's not the best alternative, but fuck, man,
if the love of your life is half a world away,
you gotta take the winds that you can get.
It's like personalized porn.
Directly from the person that you wanna see most.
I think when you're really, really connected to somebody,
it's like soul level.
I'm here and you're there,
we're still touching through here.
I think when the connection's strong,
it's even more evident,
'cause time and space can't really affect it
'cause we're the same,
and we come from the same thing and we're still connected.
The second you add a zero to a 10 it feels like a lot.
It just felt like a long time.
Imagine going a hundred days without seeing
the person that you love the most.
It sucks.
That's such a weird thing.
That trust with somebody,
that you're not even concerned
about any insecurities you might've felt before,
so it's that.
It's that safe spot,
where you're like, ah, this person knows
that I've been hurt before and they understand,
and they're just so transparently open with you
that you're slowly taking off your armor
and being like okay, this feels safe.
I've only felt that twice.
This might sound as backwards,
but I feel like it's easier
when you're dealing with two people
that have been fucked over.
Because you know what it's like,
so I know you're not gonna do that to me.
But if you're dealing with someone
who has never experienced it
or never been on the receiving end,
I feel like it's hard,
because they wouldn't even understand
how much hurt they're gonna cause
if they were to betray you.
If you're gonna ever forgive someone for cheating,
that's a feat on its own, that forgiveness is a feat,
but going a level further
and then trying to get back to that space
where you guys were in before is the worst.
And so then when you're stuck in that drama,
and stuck in this awful thing,
and years later you meet somebody
that makes you feel wanted again or safe again, it's just,
it's different, it feels like it's been raining for months,
and then you get this one sunny day where you're like,
oh, this is what sunshine feels like, I forgot,
I forgot what sunshine feels like.
It was fucking freezing, and you're lit.
I would never swear on my mama unless
it was something solid, like for sure,
and since this is a proverbial, theoretical song,
then I felt comfortable doing so.
I would never do that with anything that I doubt.
For a dude, hell no, I would never.
Never.
But that safety, that level, that level is goals.
Where you just like know.
Hand on the bible.
On my mama.
This is it, this is love.
This is it, this is us.
You know when you're moving on and you have your baggage,
and you're trying to move on,
and you might meet somebody,
but that person, for whatever reason, you can't shake this,
you can't shake the past.
I hope and I feel and I hear from others.
When you find that, it makes everything else irrelevant.
Like every other ex I had,
every other tribulation I went through,
it's irrelevant, 'cause this is peace.
If anything, it might make it worth it.
Like all the pain made it worth it
because I feel like I'm a better human for me,
and a better human for you.
