MiLES TRUMPET 2 (I) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone of the song, showing frustration and emotional detachment. The artist feels disconnected from everything, like he’s just going through the motions. He’s tired of caring too much and wants to escape for a moment to clear his mind. But instead of finding peace, he falls back into reckless behavior, returning to a time when he didn’t feel trapped by emotions. Now, he’s breaking free from that emotional prison, realizing that things have changed. He acknowledges that he and his partner see things differently, and instead of fixing things, he decides to leave. He books a flight to Jamaica and considers reconnecting with an ex, realizing that what he thought he had with his current partner was never real. In the end, he admits he’s just not the right person for this relationship.

[Chorus]
The chorus reflects his uncertainty about love. He admits that he doesn’t really know how to love and feels too young to handle deep emotions. Even though he’s fallen for someone, he’s unsure how to navigate those feelings. The repeated lines emphasize his inner conflict—he might care for this person, but he doesn’t have the maturity or understanding to love them the way they deserve. It’s a realization that love is complicated, and he’s not ready for it.

[Verse]
In the verse, he starts by trusting his instincts and making changes in how he approaches life and relationships. He’s adopting a “player” mindset, keeping his options open instead of getting too attached. He compares relationships to fishing—if he doesn’t catch anything worthwhile, he’ll just keep moving. He’s also focused on self-improvement, working on his image and personal growth. Then, he shifts to a metaphor about success, saying you have to put in the work before enjoying the rewards. Not everyone who is with you now helped you build what you have. He acknowledges that his partner is amazing, and being with them—even if it’s painful—might be worth it. But when they’re not around, he feels lost, questioning his purpose. He reminds himself to stay focused on money and success. He references Trinidad, suggesting he wants a golden, fulfilling life like Jill Scott’s song “Golden.” However, he also realizes he got played—thinking his partner was everything, only to find out they weren’t. He compares this to getting dropped by a record label, realizing he was investing in something that didn’t last.

[Outro]
The outro repeats the chorus, reinforcing his struggle with love. Despite everything, he still feels too young and inexperienced to handle a real relationship. He acknowledges his feelings but ultimately sees love as something he’s not ready for. The repetition gives a sense of resignation—he’s come to terms with the fact that he just doesn’t know how to love, no matter how much he might want to.
