Treis - IKINYT

Copied!

{Verse 1}
She hands me a pill and says I'm not her type
But she don't really mind
She just wants to feel alive

She only came out to forget about life
And have a good time
So I oblige

{Chorus}
'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be
'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be

{Verse 2}
She kisses me while the band plays (?...)
She doesn't really care
It meant nothing anyway

All that she wants is to feel less alone
I wonder if it works
You never really know (?...)

{Chorus}
'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be
'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be

{Bridge}
Up to the bedroom
To help her forget him
She puts his picture away

I'm not her type
But she don't mind
Just something to ease the pain

{Chorus}
'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be
'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be

'Cause tonight
I'll be whatever she wants me to be

The meaning of the song

edit description

"IKINYT" by Treis is a poignant song that tells the story of a person who is willing to be whatever their partner wants them to be in order to help them forget about their troubles. The lyrics describe a night filled with pills, kisses, and music, all in an effort to ease the pain and loneliness that the partner is feeling. The chorus repeats the sentiment of being whatever the partner needs in that moment, showing a deep sense of compassion and understanding. The song culminates in the realization that sometimes, being there for someone and providing comfort is all that is needed to make a difficult situation a little bit easier.

Biography

edit bio

Treis (or Treis & Friends) is a conceptual Singer/Songwriter project based out of Central Florida, USA. Named after frontman Treis Alexander, the project documents events throughout the singer’s life in a combination of ever-evolving sound, brutal lyrical honesty, and multi-perspective narratives, while using suburbia, classicism, and popular iconography as tools to tell the story.

Treis' style varies greatly from album to album. In their debut project “HOUSES,” the singer takes a quiet, instrumentally bare, and lyrically heavy take on nostalgia, the naivety of childhood, and the concept of what makes a House a home. Meanwhile, their follow up project, “Homesick” moves towards a more electronic pop sound, and focuses more on metaphor (rather than the storyteller writing featured on the first album) to tell their story. In 2020, Treis revealed the singles “Familiar Strangers,” “The Morning After,” “Midnight Wine,” and “No Compromise,” for their third LP “Something Like Home,” which revealed a new sound of heady, cerebral, “Suburban Funk” inspired by Nu-Disco and Synthwave artists of the last four decades, mixed with the introspective, narrative lyrical styling of their early works.

The band consists of members Treis Alexander (Singer, and instrumentalist), Alex Canon (Bassist), and Rafael Castro (Drums).
