On “Currents”, Drake speaks on a complicated relationship that lacks communication. It consists on the artist listing many accusations against his lover, and suddenly asking for forgiveness, when he then starts to list apologies.
A common feeling in toxic and one-sided relationships, where the person can’t be true to their own thoughts. They try, possibly even detrimentally, not to upset nor let down the one they love.
Lyrics of Currents
Don't think twice
We're still in formation
Testing the current
Already I'm sailing, it's all so sudden
Catching a flight
You think we're moving too fast, I'm
Intoxicated
We can move in slow motion if that's what you want, babe
I don't want to come on too strong
But I'm moving to your room now
With every move, with every move you make, babe
I'm tumbling
In your own time
Would you show me something please, babe?
Don't wanna wait in vain
You're the missing piece I, I been longing for
Don't deny, oh no
The temperature's rising inside
The cracks are showing
Show me all your colors, I may not deserve you
I don't want to come on too strong
But I'm moving to your room now
With every move, with every move you make, babe
I'm tumbling
