Băng Qua Cầu Giấy Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro line gives a shout-out to the producer, setting a laid-back, chill vibe for the track. It’s a way to set the mood, making listeners feel like they’re about to dive into something personal and deep.

[Chorus]
The chorus is about driving aimlessly through Cầu Giấy, feeling lost not just physically but emotionally. He’s trying to escape his thoughts, distracted by friends and smoke sessions, but his pain and loneliness are hard to shake off. He reflects on how he tried to be playful and fun for her, even feeling like a “clown” just to make her happy, but he knows his true feelings aren’t something he’d share unless he’s sober. Speeding down the highway, he’s trying to leave his heartbreak behind, but her last words linger in his mind. She said a lot, but ultimately, she just left him with a “goodbye,” which makes his heart sink.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, he expresses frustration and numbness. He tells himself he doesn’t need to care anymore and doesn’t expect anything from her, even if he’s willing to wait an entire year for her. He’s grown so used to being on his own that her absence doesn’t faze him much, even if he’s struggling with loneliness. His lifestyle, full of cigarettes and self-isolation, keeps him from facing the reality of his sadness. He hides in the studio, drowning out his feelings in music and smoke. His only way of coping is to try to forget her in a matter of days. But despite his efforts, he admits he’d still feel hurt if he saw her with someone else. Deep down, he just wants someone, anyone, to take him away from his sadness. Wrapped up in this haze, he barely wants to get up or face the day, choosing to immerse himself in thoughts of her instead.

[Chorus (Repetition)]
The chorus repeats to highlight his ongoing struggle with heartbreak. Driving through Cầu Giấy is symbolic of his attempt to leave his past behind, but no matter how fast he goes, he can’t escape the memory of her. His friends try to distract him, but he knows he only acted goofy to make her happy. His real feelings are buried deep, and he’s only able to say “I love you” when he’s clear-headed. Her last words, leaving him with just a “bye,” hit him harder than he’d like to admit.

[Verse 2 (RPT JasonDilla’s Verse)]
In the second verse, another perspective is shared by RPT JasonDilla. He recalls a dream-like memory where she claimed to love him, but now he’s driving alone, feeling the cold and knowing their relationship is over. He realizes she only stayed when things were good and left the moment things got tough. He now sees her as someone he can’t rely on, and with that realization, he knows he’s done with her. He decides to move on with music as his only companion, imagining himself floating into a peaceful night sky. Though it’s painful to say goodbye, he resigns himself to it. He packs away his feelings, ready to leave her behind, though the sadness stays with him as a reminder of the love that’s now gone.

[Chorus (Final Repetition)]
The song’s final chorus emphasizes the feelings of loss and emptiness once again. Cruising through Cầu Giấy, he doesn’t recognize his way home anymore, symbolizing how lost he feels. His friends try to pull him out of his sorrow, but deep down, he knows he only tried to entertain her for her sake. He speeds away, trying not to look back, yet her parting words continue to haunt him.
