Lyrics:

woke up today in my middleschool bedroom
except it isn’t mine, but the one i’d always dreamed of

i had a dream
it’s not like me to remember
maybe it’s a sign
i was brushing my teeth
as they all fell out

what does it mean?
always see myself at 23
just sitting here..
reminding me

AH HAA i figured it out
AH HUH i need to slow down

you had me running
i got concrete on my feet
ohoh you had me running
coloured concrete on my feet

AH HAA i figured it out
AH HA i need to slow down

i never looked in my neighbours swimming pool unless i was making sure it hadn’t dried out, can’t let it dry out or go south

what does it mean?
mattress taller than my feet can reach
just hanging there reminding me

AH HA i figured it out
AH HAA is need to slow down

you had me running
i got concrete on my feet
ohoh you had me running
coloured concrete on my feet

AH HUH i figured it out
AH HAA i need to slow down

concrete walls, concrete floors
metaphor can’t ignore
you had me running
you had me running

i got concrete on my feet
you had me running
coloured concrete on my feet

I love how every song seems to be literal and somehow “shallow” but the real meaning of it is always deep and profound. A true heritage of the beautiful land of Palestine. Every detail is so so so meticulously written and produced. An absolute honour to support you, Nemah, we lo-o-o-o-ove you. BarakAllahu fika, this is such a subtle and precious way of dawah

[mercy]

and we all say in union "we love you Nemah"

[hafsahashraf]

also the song captures the essence of feeling lost as you grow older. like when she says "woke up today in my middleschool bedroom
except it isn’t mine, " like feeling displaced from your own childhood because you cant remember what its like to be a child. or when she says
always see myself at 23" and youre mentally stuck at the age when good things happened to you
also just the general idea of not belonging anywhere, always on the outside looking in

Love how dreamy and soft the song starts before the beat kicks in! Her singing compliments it perfectly. It makes me think its about aging and reminiscing about memories.

[HansCollection_]

This sounds like something people would play in a movie❤❤❤ she always delivers.

[charllandsberg]

Love from South Africa! I wasn't expecting the best groove of the week to hit this hard! Thank you <3 You keep on staying awesome. 🍉

[hafsahashraf]

oh my gawd the beat change at 0:54. it really elevates the song to another level. this music video reminds me of Criminal and i wanna be your right hand with your subversive interpretive dance and the melody.
youve really outdone yourself Nemah

[mercy]

The lyrics are tattooed in the back of my brain already
