"I don't understand, you claim that I'm a handful when you show up all empty-handed" best lyric ever.

[@liluralongion2232]

Yea those are the ones that can't take responsibility of there own

[@cynthialloyd8955]

You understand!

[@BMG4EAZY]

It's very rare for me to ever enjoy every single song that an artist puts out but somehow Banks manages to pull it off. There's just something fulfilling about her music, the instrumentals, vocals, effects, lyrics it almost shouldn't be allowed to be this complete. It's unexplainable other than she has all the talent in the world. I'm in the UK and need to see Banks live ASAP.

[@bohnbaratheon1695]

Omfg same!! I don't care where she performs here in the UK I'll catch a train to Wales if I must I just need to see her

[@MERCEDESrussiaBENZ]

I can tell you, she is amazing live! I saw her in sydney last year in feb and it was the best concert I've ever been to and i doubt anyone will ever be better

[@ruthrozario6373]

absolutely agreed!

[@amaraw9893]

IKR! The first time I heard one of her songs (brain) I listened to every single song she had and downloaded them all. She is amazing!

[@nileciaable]

Banks and FKA Twigs. I listen to every. single. song. And I love it.

[@clueknits]

MY BODY IS READY FOR THIS ALBUM QUEEN

[@declandecoham2116]

Mine isn't I'm deceased 😂

[@rickowens9966]

MY PUSSY IS NOT READY

[@nestofrmnics]

Lol

[@user-yf1om9hi9k]

Carol L _Queen? Goddess_

[@Theonepeaceisreel]

I randomly thought about this song today. I came back, and still got chills listening to the raw emotion she conveys through her lyrics, her voice and the overall production.

[@isaacdairo9148]

Me today

[@peterdelcurtis]

BANKS NEVER DISAPPOINTS. So unique, so beautiful. I love how all of her songs are so perfectly tailored to her voice, like I couldn't picture anyone else singing this song. IN LOVE.

[@Browneyezish]

Peter Curtis I’m totally in love. She is amazing

[@ItsSvinty]

These singles are gonna be the death of someone. But I'm living for them.

[@deathtrapp3395]

the death of her ex, most likely! lol

[@LolaLopes]

hahahah

[@muzickimlat4529]

maybe she had a girlfriend...

[@VampiraMortal0000hey]

cool cool

[@spacebaged]

great comment

[@noxabellus]

its like every song finds exactly the darkness in my heart and breaks it out into something beautiful

[@stratmaster921]

That's powerful

[@thirtyacres7504]

Damn.

[@SouthEastSJ]

Me too and I'm a guy 😂

[@melainatodd]

perfect break up music, so empowering and vulnerable. really appreciating this kind of honesty in music.

[@antoinettemiles5741]

Jillian just snatched my edges, everything!!! I feel like this album she is really allowing her vocals to come through. She's still vulnerable, but has come into her own and is showing her strength. I love it!!!!

[@anyesepalermo8339]

Inject her whole album into my veins pls.

[@ethanwelch630]

*lyrics* I foresee it's true, that you would love me better If I couldn't screw All your moves that make me wanna run away But I got stuck with faulty legs I believe it's true that you would screw me If I let you in my bedroom And if I did then do I try to move away? Cause I know you like mind games [Chorus] Do I ever have to notice? I've been standing here and I don't know why Did you ever even see me try? Do you-oh-oh, see me now? Do you-oh-oh, see me now? Do you-oh-oh, see me now? See me now, see me now, oh, see me now? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 2] Better look amusing cause my addiction to These contradictions make it confusing And if I walk away I'm scared I will find other muses Cause I know you like olden days I don't understand, you claim that I'm a handful When you show up all empty-handed The way you say you love me Like you've just been reprimanded Cause I know you like mind games [Chorus] Do I ever have to notice? I've been standing here and I don't know why Did you ever even see me try? Do you-oh-oh, see me now? Do you-oh-oh, see me now? Do you-oh-oh, see me now? See me now, see me now, oh, see me now?

[@pinkpixels8806]

Honestly, from the singles released so far, I think this album is going to be better than Goddess.

[@imlivx]

SAME

[@ANDRENEVERDIE21]

I've been saying this for a while!!! agree w you 100%

[@VictorRachev]

I absolutely am inlove with Goddess but I do agree with you! These three singles are FIRE!!!!

[@bbyckhx]

+jackary What is the third single? I thought she's only released gemini feed and this?

[@VictorRachev]

+melvyn hardman fuck with myself

[@MarvelGirl100]

WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE A GODDESS THAT SAYS - WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL TRUTH? WE ARE LUCKY THAT SHE IS EVEN TAKING US ON THIS JOURNEY. WITH SO MUCH BAD MUSIC OUT THERE, WE SHOULD JUST LISTEN AND JUST BE. kill the comparison to her last album. BANKS IS EVOLVING AND SO ARE WE WHEN SHE OFFERS SUCH GREAT SONGWRITING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING LYRICS. THANK YOU BANKS

[@dollartreeeminem]

I've been blessed to be one of the first 2,000 people to hear mind games and Gemini feed when it came out

To bad it has a huge release party lol with over 2,000 views

[@Levyathyn]

I love BANKS. Her voice gets past all of my walls, all of my thoughts, all of my shell. It touches my soul and reminds me why I have one.

[@None-907]

Love that she still allows the world to see her vulnerability without being explicit or resentful, but proud and accomplished through the struggle.

[@nellyjay1107]

In the Words of DJ Khaled: 'ANOTHER ONE' One single after the other and they are all absolutely gorgeous, I have to see this woman live before I die

[@waketruth2197]

First off. How can anyone dislike this song?!? It’s clearly a masterpiece. One of her best songs actually. Go BANKS!

[@BillyGassPhotography]

Derek's an animal at these beats! Jillian is a goddess at laying down the vocals! Still listening 2020

[@ClaraTeranMonalvot17]

I miss Derek now in 2024 😢 Why’d he have to leave?

[@velascoalex9820]

in your ayes i can see all your talents , all your sensibility, all your soul, thanks the artist, thanks Banks for make me dream!

[@mcamara9529]

BANKS IS GONNA GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK, these new tracks are too much for me to handle

[@KDHRproductions]

This song is the flawless lovechild of Brain and Waiting Game

[@february6]

BANKS never fails to amaze me. I love her so much.

[@fionapanduri]

Ughh, this girl is so talented I canno t take it anymore...

[@thedauntlessreader4835]

I can die piecefully, but after I hear the whole album. BANKS gives me life.

[@arcalu67]

The Altar has got me Lovesick!!! First 4 singles are beyond words!

[@xiaco8309]

I saw her twice in a week in 2 different cities and she didn't disappoint in the slightest. One of the best shows I've ever been to

[@ilicitgrace6840]

Man I remember this live. I cried so hard. And also made so many friends. You’re so poetic love.

[@ashlyspears9718]

Best song of hers, and that's saying something because ALL OF THEM ARE AMAZING. but damn, this song makes me feel things from the deepest parts of myself. It's intoxicating.

[@marinamacedo2843]

What do u think about her last album?

[@acidicclouds2084]

Banks is back and better than EVER with these new songs. I just wanna cry.

[@indigosoulz777]

her and the weeknd need to make some magic together it would be bomb asf!

[@samanthadavis7024]

Not only that, they need to date. Fuck Bella Hadid lol.

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

Isn't he a misogynist? I guess that would give BANKS more recording material.

[@handsomeheff]

+Samantha Davis They actually did daye for a while about 3 years ago. Her song "Waiting Game" is supposedly about him

[@luckygirlzz]

+Jason Boyce never knew that she dated him

[@jayjae21jj]

Kierra Williams lol I always thought that too

[@Vinsomer]

My ears feel blessed right now.

[@Poisonprincessa]

My whole life I’ve had music that completely became an era in my life This album and this song.. some of my darkest times. But in the moment the songs really helped now I look back and it just makes me sad cause of the memories and feelings I feel from it

[@rebecaw2450]

she honestly never fails to bring out the best music

[@illuminateillumination5949]

This song gave me chills and almost made me cry. That's a job well done right there.

[@bottledscarab]

her songs need to be in a sci-fi thriller video game/movie

[@SouthEastSJ]

No one can put a toxic relationship into words like BANKS

[@ekow9158]

This single has so much potential.

[@Psychiczny666]

I'm crying, thank you Banks for such a great track, I'm in love while being broken, I love you.

[@vaporeon1606]

She's a QUEEN. I love her

[@paonrouge]

Every song Banks puts out these days is eerily relevant to me😂

[@amaraw9893]

Countdown till midnight for that album!!!! This Friday is going to be the day that changes my whole life.

[@LT-im5wk]

every one of her songs are just mesmerizing. from the lyrics to the melody to the timing even to the pronunciation of the words: i get hooked. there's this similarity yet bold uniqueness compared to the other artists in the industry; she's something I never knew I needed but now i know i do. 😍

[@stayfocuseda]

I totally agree, it's every fiber of her being, musically put on a canvas. She is what I need..

[@Browneyezish]

lani t Written perfectly. This describes how I feel! 🤘🏾🌟🤘🏾 Banks rocks

[@ryannelizabethwright6091]

You have NO RIGHT to be making me cry like this.

[@nate5536]

HOLY SHIT. I can already tell this album is gonna be AMAZING.

[@yetta1944]

She's such an amazing songwriter, her music always tells a story but her voice paints the pictures - I can't wait for Sept. 30th.

[@pikachuthedog]

How is it possible that each song of Banks is smashing?

[@raphaelle3137]

these last songs are killing me! love them so

[@Thementalplane]

I literally have to keep deleting music off my phone to make room for her new songs.🎧😊

[@owl3170]

me too

[@CoolBlueVirgo]

For all who does not know: First of all, your lucky to be a BANKS fan. Second, most of these songs are about her and her depression, not her boyfriend.. She is singing about herself and I can relate maybe moreso than her! I listen to her all the time ...

[@AdiaFerguson]

its 530 in the morning, jillian. i didn't ask for this.

[@gregormackenzie2434]

BANKS GONNA DROP THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

[@LetsGetItKhan]

The whole second verse is amazing. Better look amusing, cause my addiction to these contradictions make it confusing And if i walk away I'm scared I won't find other muses Cause I know you like golden days I don't understand You claiming Im a handful, when you show up all empty-handed The way you say you love me Like you've just been reprimanded Cause I know you like mind games

[@oasisofficial2696]

edit: the whole song is amazing

[@sunnypark3129]

english is not my first langauge, would you mind explaining the context of these lyrics in a more easier way please??

[@kevinbisbeejr1295]

Love this woman to pieces and bk together!

Beautiful,that "do you." I do. May we meet in future,your mind I love little shrink. Peace x

[@nl8661]

pretty sure the lyric is "cause I know you like Bolognese" not olden days.

[@oasisofficial2696]

@@nl8661 that is the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard. why would she say that in a song like this? she says “golden days”

[@nl8661]

@@oasisofficial2696 Pretty sure it's bolognese...

[@oasisofficial2696]

@@nl8661 it isn’t. think of what you’re saying. why would she, in a deep, hurting song like this, say “bolognese,” a literal meat sauce. why would she say that? olden days or golden days makes way more sense. i’m not backing down, she doesn’t say that.

[@nl8661]

@@oasisofficial2696 she absolutely says bolognese, coming from someone who has slaved over a hot stove for hours, trust me, this is what she's saying. certainly one would be more inclined to like bolognese over olden or golden days, unless those days were spent consuming bolognese. please reconsider.

[@thesweetdarkness3395]

That song though... Can't wait for THE ALTAR :))))))

[@Ottoblack33]

in her songs BANKS has the best lyrics ever

[@adriennew.3046]

Banks and SOHN make a FANTASTIC team!! This song is life!!

I'm so ready for her to drop this album!!!

[@carlorenne]

I would put an "Altar" for this "Goddess". I love you so much Banks. You have no idea.
