NO SZNS (feat. SZA)

Jean Dawson's 'NO SZNS (feat. SZA)' delves into the emotional landscape of a person who feels disconnected from the traditional cycles of seasons. The song opens with the artist expressing a disinterest in fall and a sense of loss in summer, suggesting that the changing seasons no longer bring the same feelings they once did. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line, 'And winter make me melt,' which could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed or emotionally vulnerable during colder times. The repetition of 'all my feel died' underscores a sense of emotional numbness or loss that pervades the artist's experience throughout the year.

The chorus highlights the unique climate of California, where the lack of distinct seasons mirrors the artist's emotional state. 'In California, we ain't got no seasons, all the same to me,' suggests a monotony and a sense of timelessness, where every day feels repetitive and indistinguishable from the next. This could be a reflection of the artist's internal struggle, where the absence of seasonal change symbolizes a stagnation in their emotional life. The line 'like to press repeat' reinforces this idea of living in a loop, unable to break free from the cycle of unchanging days.

SZA's contribution to the song adds another layer of depth, as she sings about the lingering impact of a past relationship. 'Still cryin' in the summer time, still get a rush when I think of you in summer time,' captures the enduring nature of her feelings, regardless of the season. The juxtaposition of 'anxious thoughts' and the desire for 'warmth' highlights the complexity of emotions that persist throughout the year. The song ultimately portrays a yearning for emotional connection and the struggle to find meaning in a world where time seems to stand still.
