The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Sabotage" by the artist "Wale"

Contents

In Wale's song "Sabotage," the narrator describes his complex and toxic relationship with a woman. He tries to give her love and care, open up the world to her, but she fears attachment and constantly sabotages their relationship.

From the outset, the narrator admits that he recorded the song after a fight, in a fit of emotion. He wants to understand what's happening and why everything is so complicated.

The first verse depicts the woman as someone accustomed to disappointments, especially in relationships with men. She doesn't believe in sincere feelings and as soon as she starts to get attached, she runs away, breaking the connection. The narrator tries to reach her, convince her that things will be different with him, but her fear is stronger.

Lloyd, whose voice is heard in the chorus, continues the thought of the woman's self-destructive behavior. It's as if she enjoys destroying their love, afraid to open up to her feelings.

The second verse continues the theme of distrust and inability to have a healthy relationship. The woman goes back and forth between being close to the narrator and pushing him away, playing with his emotions. He tries to distance himself, to forget, but it doesn't help - he is attached to her and can't let go.

At the end of the song, the narrator returns to the image of self-destruction, emphasizing that the woman is depriving herself of love and happiness. Her fear of intimacy prevents her from building a healthy relationship and in the end, she is left alone with a broken heart.

[Intro:]

I thought it was important to go right into the booth after the argument.

I think it's only right, hoarse and everything,

Like, fuck it though. What's up?

[Verse 1:]

Pessimism is all that she know

'Cause every brother she go with always pick up and go.

I been trying to show you somethin', got a different approach,

Told her, "Give me your heart; try to get you the globe".

Have the world baby girl, live it up, you deserve it.

Every time she catch feelings she go throw away the gloves,

We go together — break up,

We go together — break up.

Ain't this an insecure bitch, meanin' we love to make up?

When we good, we good, shawty,

We don't ever make love.

But if I call you out your name, I bet your ready to "uh"!

You say you ready, you ain't ready enough

'Cause when it fall right in your lap, you be ready to get up.

This is her, this is it, this is sabotage love, counterfeit.

She the shit, she the one,

She got cold feet, my love will be the sun, get it done.

This is her, this is it, this is sabotage love, counterfeit.

She the shit, she the one,

She got cold feet, my love will be the sun, get it done.

[Bridge: Lloyd]

'Cause I am feeling this deep down in my heart,

I'm feeling like I never want to be apart,

But just when it gets good, she's gone,

And I'm left right back at start...

[Hook: Lloyd]

My girl likes to sabotage, our love, yeah!

She can only take so much more than her heart got,

She can only live for the moment.

Why? I'll never know it.

Guess, I'll meet her right back at start.

[Verse 2:]

Let's roll a J and pretend we in love,

I've got a paper plane, it's propellin' my buzz.

I'm tryin' to make a way, she never call back,

She's tryna fall back, 'cause she say, I'm all that.

She only love me when I be ignorin',

When I be doin' throwin' it on her, shorty brushing me off.

I swear, I kinda feel like she's slightly bizarre,

Sabotage all the time, have me Avatar'd,

Blue ball, who fault? Mine, only cause I stick around.

She leave before the sun up, leave you something to think about,

Yea, and this is something to think about.

Why people want you single every time that you got a spouse?

Ha! That make it hard to be faithful,

Knowing I can go wherever and get 8 more,

Ten more dependin' on where Wale going.

Fuck it, I got a few more now that my hair long,

It's weird, shawty, your wares showin' me dead wrong,

You gon' miss a good thing and now bitter alone,

Shit ain't better alone.

I get her once, I bet you keep comin' back for more,

Keep comin' back for more, keep comin' back for more,

Keep comin' back for more, keep comin' back for...

[Hook: Lloyd]

[Verse 3:]

This is her, this is it,

This is sabotage love, counterfeit.

She the shit, she the one.

She need now, she ain't never needed love,

Gotta go, let her leave,

This is somethin' that could never ever be.

Said, her heart's in a cage

'Cause if you never love, you can never hate.

Marinate!

[Bridge: Lloyd]

Sabotage, sabotage, I love you.

Sabotage, sabotage, I love you.

Sabotage, I love how you keep coming back for more,

Keep coming back for more,

Keep coming back for more.

[Hook: Lloyd — x2]
