NIKI - Pools Lyrics






When I was young I used to check for you under my bed (under my bed)
But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it (sleep on it)
You're smoking five days a week
Don't you say I'm why you can't breathe
You got nerve sayin' it ain't that deep
Friends don't wear skin to sleep

Why'd you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don't want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I've been calling warpaint
There ain't nothing here to fight for

King of my condo, there's a second toothbrush by the sink (by the sink)
Then I ask where your kingdom lies, you hand me a blank map with X in ink (X in ink)
I'm every metaphor
You hold me like I'm your everything and more
But when the sun rays greet the floor you make it clear I'm everything but yours

Why'd you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don't want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I've been calling warpaint
There ain't nothing left to fight for

I'm givin' up the fight
Ain't gonna waste my time
You go run for your life
Be my guest, be my guest
Oh, I'll be fine
Oh, I'll be fine

    Wow. She's a genius.

    A.... R....

    I dont get it

    A.... R....

    I get it

    A.... R....

    @Hoàng An Nhiên what they mean is that when you smoke it takes a toll on your lungs and effects your breathing. Its also a figure of speech when you tell someone that they're the reason you can't breath. Its flattering. So it means that he smokes to much and the reason he can't breath is because he smokes to much. And he's lying about it being her.

    The song sounds so ethereal. Sounds perfect for laying back on a pool float in your backyard on a sunny day (in a pool, of course). Didn't know who NIKI was before this, but kudos to her for putting this out. It's very enjoyable!
