In a haunting exploration of emotional residue, this song delves into the lingering pain of past relationships and the struggle to avoid reopening old wounds. The lyrics reveal a dialogue with the self, questioning the arrival and impact of a former lover. The sentiment, "I don't want to, I chose not to feel no more," underscores a deliberate effort to shield oneself from recurring heartbreak. The recurring lines, "tell me again how'd you get here," imply a need to understand the past to prevent future mistakes. However, this effort is juxtaposed with an admission of forgetfulness, highlighting a cyclical battle with memory and regret. The refrain, "too bad I forget," encapsulates the tension between learning from past experiences and the inevitability of making the same mistakes. The lilting “pa-pa” refrain adds a melancholic texture, suggesting a repetitive, almost meditative rumination on these themes.
