TRANKIS Lyrics – Aitana, Barry B

TRANKIS Lyrics Meaning

[Coro: Aitana]
The singer goes into a calm, quiet bar even though she knows she’s not feeling okay inside. She’s dealing with anxiety and doesn’t have any medicine or calm pills to help her. It’s another night where she feels lost and doesn’t know what to do. She buys a cigarette when she arrives, and a friend lights one for her too. She remembers that the person she cares about hasn’t been around for a long time. Still, she tries hard to convince herself that everything is fine, even though deep down she knows it’s not.

[Verso 2: Barry B]
Here, Barry talks about how everywhere he looks, he’s reminded of their song and memories. He’s taken time off work again because he’s struggling. He knows he might find a worse job, but one where people ask about the other person, and that hurts him. He wonders if the other person ever thinks about coming back or if they’ve already forgotten about him completely.

[Coro: Aitana & Barry B]
They both describe going back to the same quiet bar, knowing they’re not in a good place emotionally. Anxiety is with them, and they don’t have anything to calm it down. It’s another night where they feel stuck and unsure what to do next. They light cigarettes together, trying to find some comfort. Even though the person they miss has been gone for a long time, they keep pretending to themselves that everything is okay, though it really isn’t.

[Verso 2: Aitana]
Aitana says that even though she tries to focus on other things, the person she misses is still everywhere in her thoughts. She tries to dance with her eyes closed to forget, but that person is still there in her mind. Her thoughts feel confused and lost, like she doesn’t know which way to go. She jokes that she’s always messing things up since birth. Even if she tries to appear happy, she feels sad inside. Things that used to make her happy no longer do, and she wishes she could move far away, even to Mars, just to finally forget about this pain.

[Coro: Aitana & Barry B]
Again, they find themselves in the same quiet bar, aware they’re not feeling well. Anxiety is still present, and they don’t have the usual calm medicine. It’s another night without a clear plan. They light cigarettes and try to find some peace together. Even though it’s been a long time since the person they miss left, they still try to convince themselves that everything is fine, but really, they are still hurting inside.
