xoxosos

In 'xoxosos,' keshi delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, marked by a cycle of passion, conflict, and emotional turmoil. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple caught in a repetitive loop of intense physical connection and equally intense arguments. The phrase 'Come home, fight, fuck, that's everyday' encapsulates this cycle, suggesting that their relationship is defined by these extreme highs and lows. This pattern seems to be the only way they know how to interact, raising questions about the sustainability and health of their bond.

The recurring motif of 'XO's XO's' juxtaposed with 'SO, SOS' highlights the duality of their relationship. 'XO's' typically symbolize hugs and kisses, representing love and affection, while 'SOS' is a distress signal, indicating a cry for help. This contrast underscores the emotional rollercoaster the couple is on, where moments of love are interspersed with cries for help and feelings of desperation. The line 'I was thinkin' 'bout hurtin' myself, but girl you know how to do it so well' reveals a darker side, hinting at the emotional pain and self-destructive thoughts that arise from this toxic dynamic.

Despite the evident dysfunction, there's a sense of resignation and acceptance in the lyrics. The protagonist seems to be caught in a paradox, acknowledging the unhealthy nature of the relationship but feeling unable to break free. Lines like 'Do whatever you say, do whatever you want me to' and 'Baby it's okay, let me put it back for you' suggest a willingness to endure the pain for the sake of maintaining the connection. This reflects a deep, albeit troubled, attachment where the fear of losing the relationship outweighs the desire for emotional well-being.
