See You Again (feat. Tyler, The Creator)

Kali Uchis' song 'See You Again,' featuring Tyler, The Creator, is a poignant exploration of longing, infatuation, and the blurred lines between dreams and reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who exists more in the realm of dreams than in the tangible world. The repeated phrase 'You live in my dream state' underscores the idea that the object of the singer's affection is more of a fantasy than a reality. This person only appears in dreams, making the connection both elusive and deeply desired.

The song delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love or a love that is not fully realized. The lines 'I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing / You're the one that's always running through my daydreams' highlight the frustration and exhaustion that comes with longing for someone who is perpetually out of reach. The metaphor of Cupid hitting with 'precision' suggests a love that is intense and unavoidable, yet also one-sided and unfulfilled.

Tyler, The Creator's verse adds another layer to the narrative, describing an infatuation that borders on obsession. His playful yet earnest lines, 'I'd give up my bakery to have a piece of your pie,' mix humor with a deep sense of yearning. The repeated request for a kiss that 'lasts forever' and the uncertainty of seeing the person again ('I don't know if I'ma see you again') encapsulate the fleeting nature of this dream-like love. The song's dreamy, almost hypnotic melody complements its lyrical content, making 'See You Again' a hauntingly beautiful ode to love that exists just out of reach.
