Unhinged

Masego's song "Unhinged" delves into the complexities of self-perception and the desire for connection. The lyrics suggest a sense of being "unhinged," which can be interpreted as feeling out of place or disconnected from one's surroundings. This feeling is emphasized by the imagery of being "kicked off a hinge" and facing "open doors" that the narrator cannot enter. These metaphors highlight a struggle with finding one's place in the world and the yearning to form new relationships.

The song also explores themes of love and desire, as seen in the lines about "dancing on a different side of the club" and "calling it lust." The narrator seems to be caught in a cycle of longing and frustration, as they navigate the "court of love" and seek to be "let out on bail." This metaphorical language suggests a feeling of being trapped or judged in romantic pursuits, further emphasizing the emotional turmoil experienced by the narrator.

Masego's use of "body language" and "walking poetry" as descriptors of self-expression adds a layer of depth to the song. These phrases suggest that the narrator's true self is communicated through non-verbal means, inviting listeners to "feast their eyes" on this unique form of expression. The repeated mention of getting "sentimental" while "smoking on that indo" and "thinking 'bout you" adds a reflective and introspective tone, indicating that the narrator's thoughts and emotions are deeply intertwined with their experiences and memories.
