Usher’s new single  “Climax” is a purely cinematic affair that casts him as a jealous spurned lover. Usher is singing about a relationship coming to the end of its time. In the video, there’s definitely room for  double meaning of the song.

After watching the music video, the lesson I learned is:

Loving someone that doesn’t love you back sucks!  Don’t cause any heartache to yourself or the person you love. Better let go and move on.

Usher’s – “Climax” Lyrics:

Do we separate?
Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up
Can’t take it back, it’s too late, we’ve reached the climax

That keeps raining down
Where are you now?
When I need you around

At all
At all
At all

[Bridge]
You say it’s better if we
Love each other separately
I just need you one more time
I can’t get what we had out my mind
Where are you now
When I need you around
I’m on my knees
But it seems we’re going
