PS5 Lyrics – Salem Ilese ft. TXT
PS5 Lyrics
[Intro: Salem Ilese]
Woah!
[Verse 1: Salem Ilese]
Eyes up, you've been gone for a fortnight
My love, are you stuck in a fake life?
Can't win, if the prize is to waste your time
Now it's wasting mine
[Pre-Chorus: Salem Ilese]
And I know that we're close, but I'm lonely
Make me your only, won't win a trophy
But can it kiss you like this when you hold me?
Missing it lowkey, I'll say it slowly
[Chorus: Salem Ilese]
It's me or the PS5
Tell me how you wanna spend your night
Three's feeling way too tight
So if it's not me, then I'm probably gonna run it over
Me or the PS5
Tell me which of us is more your type
Seems like you can't decide
So if it's not me, then I'm probably gonna run it over
[Post-Chorus: Salem Ilese]
Oh-oh (Yеah)
[Verse 2: Yeonjun, Taehyun]
My love, know I'm in for the long ride (In for thе long ride)
I'm not playing games of the wrong kind (Of the wrong kind)
Could be keeping secrets and telling lies
But I'm just online
[Pre-Chorus: Taehyun]
And I can promise you, I'll never play ya
I'll find a way to show you I'm grateful
So I'm begging ya, two minutes only
You'll get a trophy, I'm staying faithful
[Chorus: Yeonjun & Taehyun]
It's me and the PS5
Tell me, why you making me decide? (Yeah)
Please, don't you see I'm live? (I'm live)
So if you don't leave, I can find a way to win you over
Me and the PS5
'Least you know where I'ma be at night (Yeah)
The score's never been this high (So high)
So if you don't leave, I can find a way to win you over
[Outro: Salem Ilese]
Me or the PS5
Me or the PS5
It's me or the PS5
PS5 Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "PS5" by Salem Ilese featuring TXT explores the theme of romantic rivalry between a person and a gaming console, the PlayStation 5. The lyrics depict a scenario where one partner feels neglected and unappreciated because the other partner spends excessive time playing video games instead of paying attention to the relationship. The song portrays the tension and frustration of feeling secondary to a gaming console and questions the priorities in the relationship. It highlights the desire for attention, affection, and commitment, emphasizing that the emotional connection should take precedence over gaming.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Salem addresses her partner, who has been absent for a "fortnight" (two weeks). She expresses concern that her partner is caught up in an artificial or shallow lifestyle, represented by the excessive gaming. The line "Can't win if the prize is to waste your time" implies that the time spent gaming is fruitless and detracts from their relationship. This time wastage is now affecting her, as she feels ignored and neglected.
[Pre-Chorus]
Salem acknowledges that although they are physically close, she feels lonely due to the lack of emotional intimacy. She desires to be her partner's priority, indicating that winning a metaphorical "trophy" isn't as important as genuine affection. She questions whether the gaming console can provide the same comfort and love that she can, subtly stating her feelings and yearning for connection.
[Chorus]
The chorus presents an ultimatum: the partner must choose between her and the PS5. Salem highlights the discomfort of sharing her partner's attention with a gaming console, making it clear that this situation feels too crowded. If her partner can't choose her over the PS5, she threatens to destroy the console, symbolizing her frustration and desperation for attention.
[Post-Chorus]
This brief section reinforces the frustration and tension, with a repetitive "Oh-oh" reflecting her emotional turmoil and longing.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, Yeonjun and Taehyun offer a different perspective, acknowledging the commitment to their partner. They insist that their gaming is not a means of deceit or dishonesty but rather an innocent activity. They assure their partner of their loyalty and try to convey that their gaming does not mean they don't care about the relationship.
[Pre-Chorus]
Taehyun promises not to "play" his partner emotionally and assures them of his gratitude and commitment. He requests just a brief moment to prove his devotion, suggesting that his gaming is not a threat to their relationship. He emphasizes that he will stay faithful and seeks a balance between gaming and their relationship.
[Chorus]
This chorus mirrors the earlier one, but from the perspective of Yeonjun and Taehyun. They question why their partner is forcing them to choose and plead for understanding, explaining that gaming is just a pastime. They suggest that if their partner gives them a chance, they can manage both the relationship and their gaming hobby successfully.
[Outro]
The outro repeats the central conflict, emphasizing the ultimatum between "me or the PS5." It leaves the listener with the unresolved tension and the importance of prioritizing relationships over distractions.
