about

"Cinnamon (2022 version)" is a song about semantic satiation and heartache. It is the second single from my upcoming album, Keeping You and a re-imagining of the song's 2015 release.

lyrics

They said said if you say say say
The same same word
It turns back into syllables
I've been dreaming your name for weeks on repeat
And it still means the world to me

You are cinnamon in my throat
Every time I try to change the subject, I choke
I need a synonym to replace you
But all I can do, all I can do

Is keep-keep saying
The same-same words
And hope that they turn back into syllables
I've been dreaming your name for weeks on repeat
It still means the world to me

You are cinnamon in my throat
Every time I try to change the subject, I choke
I need a synonym to replace you
But all I can do, all I can do
Is keep-keep saying the same-same words
(Keep-keep saying the same-same words)
I keep-keep saying the same-same word

And you still mean the world to me

Yes, I was on the one to leave you
Now I am the one to grieve you
This isn't the way it happened in my mind
You can leave an empty bed
But can't escape the words unsaid
Haunted hallways always on my mind
'Cause you're not mine

You are cinnamon in my throat
Every time I try to change the subject, I choke
I need a synonym to replace you
But all I can do, all I can do

Is find the faith to face the truth and
Maybe I won't have to fake it through
Every disappointed gaze they gave
Pointed me back to you

You are cinnamon in my throat
Every time I try to change the subject, I choke
I need a synonym to replace you
But all I can do, all I can do
Is keep-keep saying the same-same word
(Keep keep saying)

Keep keep saying the same same word
I keep keep saying the same same word

You still mean the world to me
