Tekst piosenki
[Chorus]
I wasn’t born yesterday
I think you’re goddamn lyin’
I wasn’t born yesterday (Uh)
I think you’re goddamn lyin’
I wasn’t born yesterday (Oh)
I wasn’t born anyway (Oh)
I laughed when you went away (Oh)
I think you’re goddamn lyin’ (To me)
[Bridge]
You want her, you need her
And yet, you don’t believe her (To me)
You want her, you need her (To me)
And yet, you don’t believe her (To me)
You want her, you need her
She no longer needs you, you, you (To me)
You want her, you need her
She no longer needs you, you, you
[Verse 1]
(I wasn’t born yesterday)
You said I’m in a bettеr place (Oh)
I got a new birthday to celеbrate (I wasn’t born anyway)
Those candles that you couldn’t light (Oh)
You threw them out and you wondered why (I cried when you went away)
Don’t know why I blew them out for me (Oh)
Until I forgot how to breathe (I think you’re goddamn lying)
I popped a vein and I made a wish
I made a wish that’ll never be
[Verse 2]
Now I’m here, mm
I’ve been in so many tears, I try my best not to count it (Where are you?)
I’ve been in so many hearts, I’ve been in so many prayers (I’m right here)
I’ve been in so many couches
I’ve been in so many lies, I’ve lived so many lives
I’ve lived in so many houses
I’ve been subject to change, I keep circlin’ dates, I keep thinking about it
Uh, I’ve been trying to unsee how you moved on from me
'Cause it feels like without me
I’ve been ripped from the floor, that umbilical cord is still sort of around me
[Chorus]
I wasn’t born yesterday, mm
I think you’re goddamn lyin’, mm
I wasn’t born yesterday, mm, mm
I think you’re goddamn lyin’ (To me)
I wasn’t born yesterday (Oh)
I wasn’t born anyway (Oh, to me)
I cried when you went away (Oh)
I think you’re goddamn lyin’ (To me)
I wasn’t born yesterday (Oh)
I wasn’t born anyway (Oh)
(And yet you don’t believe her)
I cried when you went away (Oh)
(She no longer needs you, you, you)
I think you’re goddamn lyin’ (You, you, you)
[Verse 3]
(I wasn’t born yesterday)
It gets so bright, I disappear
It’s been twelve nights and a million years (I wasn’t born anyway, oh)
That weight gets heavy when I’m breathing
You gave me something to believe in (I cried when you went away)
You said it happened for a reason (Oh)
I swear to God, I think you’re goddamn lying (To me)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(You want her, you need her)
Those little things, I should’ve said out loud, I would—
All those little things
That weigh heavy on the clouds
I had just a hint of doubt
I wish I let that hint become me
Just a little doubt, uh
Couldn’t figure out how to outrun me
And I’d be free if I just saved the date
I’d be there with you right now
And that day plan should’ve stayed delayed
'Cause the only thing I want is out
And it’s all those little things
I should’ve said out loud
Every little thing
I did to make you proud
[Outro]
(I wasn’t born yesterday)
(I think you’re goddamn lyin’)
(I wasn’t born yesterday)
She no longer needs you, you, you
(I think you’re goddamn lyin’)
You, you, you (To me)
You, you, you
(I wasn’t born yesterday)
You want her, you need her (Oh)
And yet, you don’t believe her
(I wasn’t born anyway, oh)
She no longer needs you, you, you
(I cried when you went away, oh)
You, you, you
(I think you’re goddamn lyin’)
She no longer needs you, you, you
You, you, you
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
„Born Yesterday” to piosenka autorstwa Quadeca. Jest to główny singiel z jego nadchodzącego albumu, „I Didn’t Mean To Haunt You”, i został wydany 19 września 2022 roku, wraz z oficjalnym teledyskiem. Piosenka to jego pierwsze wydanie z deadAir Records.
W „Born Yesterday” Quadeca przedstawia ducha, który został złapany w czyśćcu i obserwuje cierpienie swoich bliskich. Mówi też o takich rzeczach jak smutek, żal i wspomnienia z przeszłości. W drugim wersie Quadeca akceptuje rzeczywistość swojej śmierci. Według Quadeca, w teledysku pojawia się wiele znaczących postaci i przedmiotów z jego albumu, a także kilka różnych domów i miejsc do filmowania, domowe filmy rodzinne i nagrania kasetowe.
TheFader opisuje piosenkę jako „glitchy, folktroniczną rapową balladę”, a utwór tworzy kosmiczną atmosferę z ciężkimi pogłosami i lekkimi bitami z wokali. Sample „For No One” The Beatles można usłyszeć w części bridge.
Głównym tematem tego utworu jest Quadeca, który nie żyje i widzi, jak ludzie, których kochał, są w żałobie. Wers „I wasn’t born yesterday” wyraża, że Quadeca nie jest naiwny i wie, że jego matka cierpi, mimo że udaje, że jest wszystko w porządku.
