Moonlight in Atlanta
Russ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Careful, I don't need to read your mind
Grows but it always falls apart
Don't tell a soul, they would never mind
Spilling all my bets

You know what it is when you see me
Made your city my city
Tell your other bitches that you're busy
They don't gotta know that you're with me
We be hot and cold but it's okay
'Cause we call each other when we're lonely
I know that you lied when you told me
You was all mine one and only

Careful, I don't need to read your mind
Grows but it always falls apart
Don't tell a soul, they would never mind
Spilling all my bets (my bets)
Yeah

I ain't with you, you would say the same
Neither of us takes the blame
Fuck it though I'm drowning in your box
I feel like David Blaine
Day to day communicate
Sex feels like a drug, we just hallucinate
I'm a one to one, you can not duplicate

I know I'm not yours
But I know that you're mine

Careful, I don't need to read your mind
Grows but it always falls apart
Don't tell a soul, they would never mind
Spilling all my bets

You know what is when you see me




Made your city my city
Tell your other bitches that you're busy

Overall Meaning

The song "Moonlight in Atlanta" by Russ is a hip-hop love song, where he talks about a complex relationship between two individuals. The opening lines, "Careful, I don't need to read your mind, Grows but it always falls apart," suggest that the relationship between them is fragile and easily breakable. The following lines, "Don't tell a soul, they would never mind, Spilling all my bets," indicate that they are keeping their relationship a secret.


Russ then talks about how the two of them are exclusive and have no time for anyone else, "You know what it is when you see me, Made your city my city, Tell your other bitches that you're busy, They don't gotta know that you're with me." He acknowledges that their relationship is passionate, but they have their ups and downs. They tend to call each other only when they are lonely. Russ knows that the other person is not entirely honest with him, but he is still willing to take the chance.


In the second verse, Russ admits that neither of them wants to take responsibility for their relationship's flaws. He suggests that their physical relationship is powerful, and he feels like he is in a trance-like state when they are intimate. The lyrics, "I'm a one to one, you cannot duplicate," suggests that the two of them have something special that can't be replicated. The song ends with Russ acknowledging that while he is not the person's priority, he knows that he is special in their life.
