Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Light peeking through the curtains
Damn was it really worth it
Do you even try these days (no)
Light peaking through the branches
I don′t think I can that I stand this
Always high these days (yeah)

When there's light peaking through you

Don′t keep me in the dark
Don't keep me in the dark (no)
Don't keep me in the dark (yeah)

When there′s light peaking through you
Don′t keep me in the dark
Don't keep me in the dark (no)

(Maybe I′m)
(Maybe I'm)
(Maybe I′m)
Maybe I'm crazy (yeah)
Or maybe I just figured you out
Lately I′m crazy (yeah)
Lately I don't wanna go out
Need to be alone on this
Need to get the fuck out this town
Think you so grown
See you standing when it all burns down (yeah)
Think that I be in too deep, Well
It wouldn't be my first time (yeah)
Thinkin′ that this hill′s too steep, But
This wouldn't be my first climb (yeah)
Think that I be in too deep, Well
It wouldn′t be my first timе (first timе)

Found light through the curtains
Long night puttin work in
Long drives just to get away
So high tryna gеt away

Sunlight through the window
Take me to the place where the wind go

Take me to the place my kin float
Take it all away


Overall Meaning

The lyrics of CharlestheFirst's song "Figured U Out" describe the frustration and confusion in a relationship where one person seems to be holding back and not communicating their feelings. The first verse describes the artist's disappointment as the light shines through the window and wakes him up, but the other person in the relationship does not seem to be putting in any effort, always high and not addressing the issues. The chorus is a plea for honesty and communication. The artist is asking the other person not to keep him in the dark, to let the light shine through and reveal their true feelings.


The second verse shows the artist's frustration growing as he realizes that the other person may not be as invested in the relationship as he is. The artist needs to get away and be alone to process his feelings. The bridge describes the artist's struggle with his own sanity and his attempts to decipher the other person's true intentions. He may be crazy for staying in a relationship where he feels unfulfilled, and he may have finally figured the other person out, but he still feels trapped in his own emotions.


Overall, "Figured U Out" is a poignant and relatable song for anyone who has struggled with communication in a relationship. The artist's plea for honesty and his realization that he may need to end the relationship for his own sanity shows a level of maturity and self-awareness that is commendable.
