Cut Ties Lyrics – Bryson Tiller

Cut Ties Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: Bryson Tiller]
He’s saying that the breakup wasn’t random — there were real reasons behind cutting ties. The girl messed with his vibe and consistency, always throwing things off for him emotionally. He went to the strip club not just for fun, but maybe to distract himself or cope. He admits he’s no saint either, hanging out with his “demons” or personal struggles. He’s making money, throwing cash, and surrounded by women, especially one who’s wild and s*xually open. He remembers how his ex didn’t appreciate him, but now he’s with someone even better, someone new and from a different place — maybe a new chapter in his life.

[Pre-Chorus: Bryson Tiller]
He’s going out with his friends for the night and feels so in control that he doesn’t even need a drink. He’s driving himself, showing confidence and clarity. And there’s this pretty girl who knows he’s single now — she’s clearly interested, and he’s aware of the attention he’s getting since the breakup.

[Chorus: Bryson Tiller]
He’s repeating the idea that the breakup had solid reasons behind it. The same girl kept messing up his flow, messing with his balance emotionally and mentally. He had personal reasons for being at the strip club, and he’s being real about the fact that neither of them were perfect — he’s still wrestling with his inner flaws and past choices.

[Verse 1: Bryson Tiller]
Tonight, he’s switching off his phone to avoid distractions and enjoy the moment. He’s feeling himself — wearing his chains, spending money, and making a scene. He wants his ex to know he’s not sitting around heartbroken. He even got his name lit up at the club, showing he’s still thriving. There’s a new luxury car parked outside, and more than one girl wants to leave with him. But deep down, he’s still thinking about his ex — like, she could’ve been there with him if she hadn’t turned her back on him. She broke promises and lied, and that’s why he had to let her go. There’s a hint of sadness underneath all the flashing lights and party vibe, like he’s still processing what happened but trying hard to stay on top.

[Chorus: Bryson Tiller]
Again, he’s letting everyone know that letting go of his ex wasn’t just out of the blue. She messed with his rhythm in life. He was going through stuff and had his reasons for hitting the strip club. He admits he’s no angel and spends time in dark spaces, emotionally or mentally. He’s got stacks of money that he can’t even hold onto — he’s just throwing it. The girl he’s with now is wild, s*xually bold, and a big contrast from his past partner. His ex didn’t value him and was acting strange, but he’s already upgraded and moved on with someone new, someone who seems to match his energy better.

[Verse 2: BossMan Dlow]
BossMan Dlow jumps in and says he’d rather walk away from someone than get caught up in petty back-and-forth. He’s not the kind of guy to be disrespected or played. He’s living flashy — chilling in a luxury car with stars on the ceiling, going on expensive shopping trips. If someone crosses him, he’s quick to cut them off like a barber would with clippers. Arguments that don’t involve money or real value aren’t worth his time. Still, he admits he has feelings — he wants this one girl to be with him because she’s not like the rest. The connection they share is deep, and the intimacy is powerful. He’s not about to beg someone to stay though. If she wants to leave, she’s free to go. He’s not going to chase after someone who doesn’t want to be there — especially when he knows his worth.

[Pre-Chorus: Bryson Tiller]
He’s heading out again with his boys, confident and collected. He doesn’t need a drink to loosen up — he’s got his own vibe. Driving himself shows independence, and a new girl knows he’s single now, already showing interest in being around him.

[Chorus: Bryson Tiller]
He brings it back one more time to the idea that the breakup had a real reason. His ex was throwing him off track every season — it wasn’t working. He had his own struggles, his own flaws. But now, he’s in a different space, maybe darker, maybe more honest — living his truth whether or not others like it.

[Outro: Bryson Tiller]
This part feels more like a vibe than a full message — he’s vibing with a girl who wants to ride with him, both literally and figuratively. She’s showing interest, maybe flirting, trying to be part of his life. He’s repeating phrases like he’s in a chilled-out state, just going with the flow of the night and the attention he’s getting.
