In "i2i" by 2hollis, a fragile bond keeps collapsing under mistrust and old wounds. The promise to hold a hand forever sits beside a knife kept close, turning affection into guarded survival. Repeated lies and the claim that eyes never lie sharpen the hurt, while the image of a hidden blade in a book bag makes fear feel physical and constant. The song moves between needing one person desperately and bracing for betrayal, leaving tenderness tangled with the instinct to protect a heart that keeps getting cut.
i2i Lyrics by 2hollis
You and I we can’t agree on one thing
I always was a bit in my head, sensitive to anything that they said
Between you and I, I brought a knife
It’s in my book bag
Bro, please give me your hand, I’ll never let go of it, of it
And I’ll tell you when it’s over
Ayy, knife on my sidie, pourin’ red, fuck the spidies (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Empress, but my chic got two damn fangs, she really cause violence
T-t-talisman my necklace, diamond punchin’ out my chalice (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Between you and I, yeah, I don’t see eye-to-eye
Why did you tell me so much lies? Grow out your sinus (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Between you and I, I burned down five times five
How could you do that to me? Like
How could you do me like that? Yeah (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Between you and I, boy, I keep a knife, yeah
They say the eyes don’t lie, no lie
Yeah, they say the eyes don’t lie, yeah (Let’s go)
But boy, I keep a knife
I keep a knife-knife-knife
Yeah, I keep a knife-knife-knife (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Between you and I
Between you and I
Play like you mean it
You might be the only thing I’m needing (Between you and I)
Scary, I’m on FaceTime with a demon, uh
Mouth wide open, you can’t feed it (Between you and I)
Warhorse get bloody on the weekends, uh
On the weekend
On the week—
O-o-on the weekend, uh, uh
Play it like you—
