Colossal Loss

NIKI's song 'Colossal Loss' is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and vindication. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and closure in a relationship that has gone sour. The opening lines, 'So you wanna talk / You can do so to my moisturized hand,' set a tone of dismissiveness and self-assuredness. NIKI is clearly done with the other person's attempts to reconnect or make amends, emphasizing that this is their 'last year to understand.' The use of the phrase 'moisturized hand' adds a touch of humor and sass, highlighting her confidence and self-care.

The song delves into themes of betrayal and the emotional toll it takes. NIKI expresses her frustration and disappointment, stating, 'I loved you like family what a big fat shame.' This line underscores the depth of the relationship and the magnitude of the betrayal. The chorus, 'I hope that it was worth it / Do I think you deserve this? / My answer doesn't matter / 'Cause you and I, we don't talk / To my benefit and your colossal loss,' encapsulates the essence of the song. NIKI acknowledges that while the other person may have thought their actions were justified, the ultimate loss is theirs, not hers.

The song also touches on the concept of pettiness and how it can be a form of self-empowerment. NIKI sings, 'Is this what the kids call petty? / Well, I'm happy to report that petty feels pretty awesome.' This line suggests that sometimes, embracing pettiness can be a way to reclaim one's power and sense of self-worth. The repeated refrain of 'colossal loss' serves as a reminder of the gravity of the other person's mistake and the irreversible damage it has caused. In the end, NIKI finds solace in the fact that she has moved on, while the other person is left to grapple with their 'sadder colossal loss.'
