Camila Cabello, South of the Border

Give it a listen! It screams CAMREN ahhhhh.

U can hear the pain in Lauren’s voice and I’m willing to bet she wrote this song about Camila. P.S I bawled the first time I listened to it ..

Verse:

It’s kinda hard waking up in the morning without you

When I reach over and realize it’s over I just

Let the memories wash over me through me and out of me but they’re still on the sheets and they stay there so I’ll lay there with you

Chorus:

And even though we didn’t work it was always love always love

And even though we hurt each other more than once it was love always love

For all those times we locked eyes when I was yours and you were mine

Was always love always love

Verse :

Nobody talks about walking away when they’re still in love

Feeling so far after being so close is a mindfuck

But you helped me grow into me so I couldn’t help but change, but changing not seeing some things that

I just couldn’t change

LYRIC ANALYSIS

The lyric “for all the times we locked eyes” instantly made me think of all the Camren interactions in interview from fetus to 2017

Also, “feeling so far after being so close” line is VERY similar to Camila talking about I have questions in the interview with genius where she says regarding the person(s) she wrote IHQ “I had like a friend and we were like so close, and literally it was like a day after, we didn’t even know each other” Although I always suspected IHQ was written about mostly Dinah/fifth harmony, there are still instances in interviews where you can see that Camila and Lauren are just not the same after a certain point. Their relationship was strictly one word answers and occasional laughs :(

And of course the entire chorus screams Camren to me. All of us knew that Lauren SEEMED to be the most fine and outwardly attempted to show just how okay she was when any interviewer would mention Camila’s departure. One interview in particular reminds me of this, when the interviewer asks if there’s still unfollowing drama between them and Camila, and Lauren quickly responds with “We were on FALLON girll”. The chorus talks about how Lauren’s relationship with [this person] didn’t work out and they both hurt each other at different moments, she still always had love for this person, even if it wasn’t obvious.

Also in the second verse “you helped me grow into me” can be interpreted as the girls growing up together when fifth harmony was first formed. They were extremely young and insecure (as Lauren mentioned in an interview regarding her bisexuality growing up as a teen). And in one of Camilas interviews where she answers questions sent to her by fans, one of the questions is what to do if my girlfriend isn’t comfortable yet with disclosing our romantic relationship. To which Camila responds along the lines that you don’t know what her relationship is like with her parents maybe it’s new to her. All you can do it make her feel supported and loved, and she’ll do it when she’s ready. Also the famous line she uttered “I’ve learned that”, implying that she’s been in the same situation before. (Perhaps with Lauren??)

Also the line “nobody talks about walking away when they’re still in love”. Maybe she’s talking about their management that was tearing them apart coupled with whatever other issues that were taking a toll on their relationship that inevitably forced them to break up.

Perhaps this whole song is Lauren telling [Camila] that she appreciates her for all she’s done for her, made her the person she is today. And even though they’re not together at the moment, she still loves her and regrets everything that happened.

Edit 8.1.19: Maybe they’re still together right now?? Because we all know shawmila is PR lolz

Thanks for reading :)
