lyrics

It's you on the node 
Of a wave that arcs and bends down to hold 
Me where 
I know you’re not there 
I know that you could but you don’t 

And if I have brought the wave 
To be at all that because 
To me it seemed you gained just as much 
The way you'd draw and cling to me with every touch 
I see you walk with that flame in us

But now you draw away like a game is all that it was 
For you it was just fun 
Oh but has it gotten you shaken now 
Oh did you want us both 
But not for me to be the one? 

Or you just don’t hold 
Yourself in a high enough esteem to know 
That what you’re doing is mean 
And once taken over me 
How could I be one to move on now? 

First of all
You were wrong 
To play with my heart 
For leading me on 
To keep your mouth numb was your lie 
You shouldn’t play with my heart 
Like you had no idea 
The guilt that now has become your child 
Will bury you if all you deny 
Is who you are or that your heart tried 
To tear you apart 
From her and your idea 
First of all 
You were wrong 
To play with my heart 
For leading me on 
To keep your mouth numb was your lie 
You shouldn’t play with my heart 

Now you should just own 
Up to the way you locked your lips on to hone
Me in 
And I should've known I guess 
I’m sure you love her I should know 

Since now 
I draw this strange disdain 
From all that it was 
I see that we became 
The saddest of us 
Since now 
I draw this strange disdain 
From all that it was 
I see that we became 
The saddest of us 

First of all 
You were wrong
To play with my heart 
For leading me on 
To keep your mouth numb was your lie 
You shouldn’t play with my heart 
First of all 
You were wrong
To play with my heart 
For leading me on 
To keep your mouth numb was your lie 
You shouldn’t play with my heart

about

Major Player Syracuse, New York

Upset City takes Major Player into a sunnier, alt-R&B-adjacent strain of music we call “satin funk”—at once beholden to the cool of his trip-hop roots and the glitzy sheen of nu-disco and dance-pop.

The songs explore the mutation of the American dream at the hands of the internet; the backwards impact of social media on interpersonal relationships.
