No Sense

Baby Keem's song 'No Sense' delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the social dynamics that often accompany them. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration and confusion, as the narrator grapples with misunderstandings and the performative nature of social interactions. The repeated questioning of 'Are you mad at me? Are you irritated?' suggests a strained relationship where communication has broken down, leading to feelings of irritation and disconnection. This is further emphasized by the lines 'I let you duck me, then you celebrated,' indicating a lack of genuine connection and perhaps a sense of betrayal or insincerity.

The song also touches on the influence of peer pressure and the impact of friends on personal relationships. The lines 'Are you showin’ off because you with your friends, dawg? Don’t be showin’ out when with your friends, dawg' highlight how behavior can change in the presence of others, often leading to misunderstandings and conflicts. This theme is reinforced by the repeated refrain 'Makes no sense,' which underscores the narrator's bewilderment at the irrational and often contradictory actions of those around him.

Additionally, 'No Sense' explores themes of love, loyalty, and personal growth. The narrator reflects on the superficiality of some relationships, as seen in the lines 'And you know he only love you when your pants off' and 'These bitches tryna ride my face, ride my face.' Despite these challenges, there is a desire for genuine connection and mutual respect, as evidenced by the lines 'I showed you light, I showed you grown man talk' and 'As long as we involved, it won’t bug me.' The song ultimately portrays a journey of navigating the complexities of relationships while striving for authenticity and understanding.
