Ugotme

Omar Apollo's song 'Ugotme' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the complexities of a relationship that seems to be one-sided. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing and confusion as the narrator grapples with their feelings for someone who doesn't reciprocate their love in the same way. The opening lines, 'Cause baby there's something you know / But clearly you say, I'm not good for you,' set the stage for a narrative where the narrator is aware of the other person's reservations but is still deeply infatuated. This unbalanced dynamic is further highlighted by the line, 'I think that I'm barely in love,' suggesting a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability.

The chorus, 'Cause honestly, you got me gone / From everyone,' encapsulates the narrator's emotional isolation. They are so consumed by their feelings that they feel disconnected from everyone else. This sentiment is echoed in the lines, 'Times you take my breath away / I'm so in love with you / Now just passing the time / Waiting longer for you,' which convey a sense of waiting and longing. The narrator is caught in a limbo, waiting for the other person to reciprocate their feelings, yet knowing deep down that it might never happen.

Omar Apollo's soulful delivery and the minimalist production of the song amplify the raw emotions expressed in the lyrics. The repeated refrain, 'And baby you know, that I / Never put it on, it was you, you,' underscores the narrator's genuine feelings and the pain of not being understood or accepted. 'Ugotme' is a poignant exploration of the heartache that comes with loving someone who doesn't love you back, and the emotional toll it takes on one's sense of self and connection to others.
