Virgoan Nights
Hip Hop

Last but not least, Virgoan Nights s the last track on Word of Mouth, performed, produced and written by Cuban rapper/producer Rum. Reminding us more of Rum & Coke, the song goes way more in depth than any other of the songs on the EP, giving us a raw look into the personal life of Rum often confused by tabloids and rumors. The Hip Hop song revolves around being a Virgo and trying to control a sex addiction at it's early stages which the man who is currently making her wait for intimacy doesn't know about. In the first verse's lyrics, she explains just this, painting the scene for the listener as she begins to tell the story in the hook, when in the middle of foreplay he tells her they should wait until "later", saying he doesn't want her to rush into anything like she usually does just because the life she lives is hectic and rushed. She' defends herself telling him not to "talk to her like she's famous" and assume he knows her, claiming that there's nothing to it, she's just a sexual being, which of course is a lie. For the most part. Starting the second verse, she explains how she's usually not always up for a one night stand or meaningless sex but feels it's her last resort. She then goes on to describe herself with the traits of a Virgo, realizing that she never asked what his sign was and then goes on to think about their obvious chemistry and how a random conversation with deep intellect made him irresistible to her, which the Zodiac claims to be the key to a Virgo's heart. Of course this "blind" compatibility doesn't decrease her intentions to end up in bed with him which leads her right into the hook, a little frustrated with him but he defends himself as well, telling her "don't talk to me like you're famous" and calling her on her front, swearing that one day, she'll love him for telling her to wait and as the song goes on, he's proved right. She goes on to reminisce the details of the night in the third verse, thinking about how they ended up in the position in the first place and what she was thinking about when instead of taking advantage of her in a vulnerable but willing plight, he just fell asleep on her lap ending the verse saying, "Stayed up all night thinking of what we could've did/Asking myself if the morning counts as later", going straight to the outro where she reveals she's tired of being a Virgo in times like these, since a Virgo's biggest weakness is self-criticizing and over thinking which is more than likely what sparked this song in the first place. Trying to ignore her natural way of being, she tries to engage in a "dive in head first" situation, referencing to the Greek story of The Death of Hyacinth (story about Apollo throwing a discus and Hyacinth going after it to try to catch it and impress him but Zephyrus redirects the wind out of jealousy due to a love triangle and the discus ends up killing Hyacinth) who also apparently had a plant and gem named after him, the Hyacinth, which happens to be one of the many Virgoan birthstones, which reveals itself as the whole reason why she probably even called him over in the first place.
Stay changing positions, always forgetting how I get myself in these predicaments
Something about OCD and dependence, got my shrink convinced I've formed an addiction
I know I called you late but never planned to end up naked, woah
Everything's slower now (go)
Should we just slow this down? (no)
Shit ain't been the same for me lately
Starting to realize what I was trying not to see
"Later, let's save that for later
I don't want you to regret it girl
There's a lot shit going on in your world
When you're ready, I'll be waiting"
Don't talk to me like I'm famous
Like you know everything cause it's in them papers
Unlike you probably heard, everything in this life don't come tailored
Not everything I do has layers
But sure, later (Aye!)
The biggest mistakes I seem to make happen when I let people stay longer than they deserve to stay
So I'm trying this one night thing out, I guess I'm into that now
I'm just a simple person with a complicated mind, busy criticizing myself that I forgot to ask for your sign
Turns out that Zodiac speaks truth every once in a while, I guess I'm into that now
Told me he wouldn't feel the need to fight for his life, we were still young
Said he'd rather start with a clean slate or go on the run long as I came along
And we were just talking bout clones taking over, heheh
But the way he thought made me decide that he was staying over
Lost my train of thought, asking myself why it took me so long to call him over, took me some time to reply
Told him life never does have much of a meaning until you work for it your whole life, but who really has the time?
Later, fuck you mean later?
How you come in and start playing?
All this stress on a daily basis
And you just expect me to be waiting? (Aye!)
"Don't talk to me like you're famous (Aye!)
Like I should know where my place is
You claim it but you ain't complacent
One day, you'll love me for saying it
Later"
It's been a while since I've danced for a man, since I've talked to a man
Ran my fingers through his hands and really felt like he understands
Had a smile on my face and all
Didn't even realize I was taking my clothes off
What happened to playing truth or dare? To tryna break up that wedding?
To making you knock on neighbor's naked and actin like you weren't breaking no ethics?
Asking me for a lap dance knowing that you could get it
Asking for it to be my best as if that wasn't what you expected
You know the pull is real when you can feel it
Fell asleep on my lap with your big head and snored like crazy but I didn't even mind
I know I got you high so you were probably dreaming of Barney & Friends
But I stayed up all night thinking of what we could've did
Asking myself if the morning counts as later
Just thinking about later
Just thinking 'bout how lately
Those sweaty September nights are what makes me
So tired of overanalyzing everythang
I've been thinking about not thinking for the past few days
I can be your Hyacinth, just throw me the discus
Let's forget and worry bout the consequences later
I don't need another commentator
