Dating

Lyrics

Intro (Spoken)
Dating.

Verse 1 (Spoken)
You know when you're out there, datin' and shit,
Feeling your way around.
Gettin' to know someone else,
Gettin' to know more of yourself.
Dating. Relating.
Ice skating around mating.
Debating or placating.
Done with masturbating.

Pre-Hook
Mistaking.
Heartbreaking.
Probably a little faking.
Some giving and some taking.

Hook (Light, chanted)
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Could be cool.
Could be hot.

Verse 2 (Spoken)
Kissing and lovemaking?
Maybe—maybe not.
You gotta give it what you got
If you're hoping for that long shot.

Break (Pause)
Ahhhhh—shoot for three.

Verse 3 (Spoken, earnest)
Spiritual soul mate, life-long, only me.
My everything—that's all I need.

Outro (Spoken)
So…
Based on that—
Shall we proceed?

Interpretation

Exploratory vulnerability. Dating is framed as a liminal practice: awkward, hopeful, performative, honest by turns. The speaker toggles between casual process and archetypal longing—skill-building versus soul-mate fantasy. Humor softens fear of rejection; lists mirror trial-and-error learning. The final question suspends certainty and control, inviting consent without demand. Emotional vector: curiosity → self-awareness → aspiration → open-ended permission.
