Annotations and Meaning.

[Verse 1]

NIKI opens the song by acknowledging the potential heartbreak that might come from the relationship. She compares herself to a "tough shot in the dark," suggesting her willingness to take a risk despite the likelihood of failure. The metaphor of "bee's knees" and "bull's eye" suggests a great fit but also that it comes with an inherent tragedy.

[Pre-Chorus]

Here, NIKI tries to stress the element of personal decision in the relationship while saying at the same time that she is what her partner has found—though how tenuous that feeling could be in such relationships.

[Chorus]

It's almost a question to the notion of there being "too much of a good thing" and whether or not it is, really. The lyrics to NIKI's song are very dramatic and actually pretty fitting for how short the relationship described lasted, all while capturing a feeling of love too potent to last.

[Verse 2]

She describes how her partner is in nature and how unique they are in expressing things. She confesses she wouldn't mind being an important part of their life, even if that meant becoming a memorable yet fleeting presence in the lives of their future lovers.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

In this part, NIKI feels a certain pain to come but dismisses the idea of being mistaken, as both good and bad have their meanings and values.

[Outro]

Repeating the question "So what do you say?" at the very end only implies more indecisiveness and the need for a joint decision in the relationship. It's the sort of ending that makes the listener consider, "How will the romance end up after this? Will it still be worth pursuing, despite all the risks?" Across Too Much Of A Good Thing, NIKI delivers the perfect mixture of vulnerability and defiant talent, making this a compelling reflection on the intricacies of love that will not fail to touch listeners.
