Thinking Lately (feat. Kansy & Moji)

Chop Ford's song 'Thinking Lately,' featuring Kansy and Moji, delves into the complexities of modern relationships, materialism, and emotional entanglement. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with luxury and excess, symbolized by 'diamonds on me dancing like they HD,' which suggests a high-definition, almost surreal quality to the wealth and lifestyle being described. This opulence, however, is juxtaposed with a sense of emotional confusion and longing, as the repeated line 'I don't know what you've been thinking lately' indicates a disconnect between the narrator and their partner.

Kansy's verses explore the hedonistic aspects of nightlife and fleeting encounters, with lines like 'I've been sipping bottles on the low' and 'Night life, city dope fiends, incidental.' These lyrics suggest a lifestyle that is both glamorous and hollow, filled with temporary pleasures but lacking in deeper emotional fulfillment. The imagery of 'drowning in your love' serves as a metaphor for being overwhelmed by a relationship that is both intoxicating and suffocating, highlighting the duality of love and desire.

Moji's contribution adds another layer to the narrative, expressing a desire for freedom and independence. Lines like 'I need to go out and be free' and 'Won’t you just let me go' reflect a struggle to break free from the emotional entanglement described earlier. This contrast between the allure of luxury and the yearning for personal freedom creates a compelling tension within the song, making it a poignant exploration of the highs and lows of modern love and materialism.
