Koi - Nostalgia Lyrics

nostalgia by koi My life ain't how you left it, shawty (Shawty)
No more, started putting my phone on silent (Yeah, yeah)
You ain't ever felt this way with nobody (Nobody)
You ain't ever felt this way for no- (Nobody, body)
Stop it, take yo' bag back, I don't like yo' attitude (Oh)
Apartment hate me, I keep filling up the package room (Yeah)
If you hate me, then you lame, bae, I have to assume
I got my own, most of y'all needed silver spoons (Nah, nah, nah)
[Pre-Chorus Meaning]
Meaning: In this part, the artist reflects on personal growth and changes since the end of a relationship. By saying, "My life ain't how you left it, shawty," they emphasize that they've moved on and things are different now. Putting their "phone on silent" suggests setting boundaries or distancing themselves from past distractions. The lines about the ex never feeling the same way with anyone else highlight a unique connection that is hard to replicate. Telling the ex to "take yo' bag back" and mentioning not liking their attitude indicates lingering frustrations. The "apartment hate me" line refers to receiving many packages, perhaps symbolizing newfound success or indulgence. Concluding with "I got my own, most of y'all needed silver spoons" underscores self-reliance versus others who had advantages handed to them.

[Chorus]
Most of y'all need a hit or two, whoa, whoa
Couldn't make it to the master, she said, "Let's do it in the living room" (Ah)
She keep asking questions, I don't do interviews
You don't know my music, she ain't listen to me since 10&2
Ever since you left, I put you on a pedestal
And ever since you came back, you ain't like how I remember you
You ain't like how I remember you (You ain't like how I remember you)
I don't even know how I imagined you, but somethin' is wrong
[Chorus Meaning]
Meaning: The chorus delves into themes of nostalgia and disillusionment. The artist admits to placing their ex on a pedestal after they left, idealizing them. However, upon reuniting, they realize the ex doesn't match the cherished memory ("you ain't like how I remember you"). The mention of not doing interviews and the ex not listening to their music since "10&2" suggests a disconnect and lack of support. The artist grapples with the realization that their imagination may have distorted who their ex truly is.

[Verse]
Yeah (Yeah)
I stay on my sh*t, that's why she love me
Surround myself with CEOs, I'm in good company (Yeah)
She just wanna stay at home all day, that ain't enough for me (Yeah)
Yeah, I just told the waiter to keep the comma
I got people feeding off me all of a sudden
Only thing we ever had in common was a sign (Yeah, uh)
I've been smoking way more, I found out when I said was done
I've been smoking Dutch's for nostalgia (Ah, nah, uh)
I ran up a couple hundred thousand (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You knew me when I used to sleep on couches
In and out Atlanta so much, I'm just like the Falcons
We keep playing games, we're too grown to be this childish
Five times a day, I change the outfit (Yeah, yeah)
I lost track a hundred back, I still keep on counting (Yeah)
I just let the music talk, I don't even announce it
My ex only got heels, but, for you, I could move mountains
[Verse Meaning]
Meaning: Here, the artist focuses on personal ambition and the divergence between their path and the ex-partner's. By surrounding themselves with "CEOs," they're aligning with success and forward momentum, while the ex wanting to "stay at home all day" isn't enough for them. References to past struggles like "used to sleep on couches" highlight their journey and growth. Smoking "Dutch's for nostalgia" indicates using substances to reminisce or cope with emotions. The artist acknowledges others now depend on them ("people feeding off me all of a sudden"), and there's a sense of being caught between past habits and new responsibilities. The lines about changing outfits and losing track of money reflect a fast-paced, perhaps chaotic lifestyle. The mention of moving mountains for the ex shows lingering affection despite everything.

[Bridge]
XL tee, I'm just tryna hide the ounce in it (Oh, no, no, no)
I ain't good with chemistry, but you and me ain't compounding
Heard you moved to somewhere, baby, how is it?
Maybe one day I'll visit
[Bridge Meaning]
Meaning: The bridge expresses a mix of curiosity and lingering feelings. Wearing an "XL tee" to hide an "ounce" hints at concealing something, possibly emotions or habits. Admitting "you and me ain't compounding" uses a chemistry metaphor to acknowledge incompatibility. Asking about the ex's new location and considering a future visit shows that, despite moving on, the artist still cares and contemplates reconnecting someday.

[Pre-Chorus]
My life ain't how you left it, shawty (Shawty)
No more, started putting my phone on silent (Yeah, yeah)
You ain't ever felt this way with nobody (Nobody)
You ain't ever felt this way for no- (Nobody, body)
Put the bag back, I don't like yo' attitude (Oh)
Apartment hate me, I keep filling up the package room (Yeah)
If you hate me, then you lame, bae, I have to assume
I got my own, most of y'all needed silver spoons

[Chorus]
Most of y'all need a hit or two, whoa, whoa
Couldn't make it to the master, she said, "Let's do it in the living room" (Ah)
She keep asking questions, I don't do interviews
You don't know my music, she ain't listen to me since 10&2
Ever since you left, I put you on a pedestal
And ever since you came back, you ain't like how I remember you
You ain't like how I remember you (You ain't like how I remember you)
I don't even know how I imagined you, but somethin' is wrong
