The song "Spent" by Joyce Wrice reflects on a failed relationship and the realization that money cannot buy true love or happiness. In the lyrics, the protagonist expresses their desire to be alone instead of staying in a relationship that almost fooled them and turned them into a trophy. They acknowledge that they provided what their partner needed but were not appreciated in return. There were no questions asked, and the partner acted possessively, as if they owned the protagonist. The song also references an afterparty where the protagonist was approached by their partner. They narrate how they initially thought their partner genuinely cared for them, but then that person's ego and selfishness surfaced. The protagonist decides to leave the relationship because of this. The chorus emphasizes the limited value of money when it comes to love. The time spent in the relationship was not enough to cultivate a genuine connection. The protagonist states that no amount of money can buy the kind of love they desire. Overall, "Spent" conveys a message about the importance of genuine emotional connection and highlights the emptiness and superficiality of a relationship based solely on materialistic values.
