Wandering Souls in Black and Gold: Bartees Strange's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Whoo
Expression of excitement or anticipation.
I miss the rain on my face
Expressing a longing for the sensory experience of rain on the face.
If I could walk on water, I would be at your place
Desire to be close to someone, using a metaphor of walking on water to convey extraordinary effort.
So what do you get, while they're around?
Raising questions about the outcomes of being around certain people.
Who do you miss? Are they in town?
Asking about the person missed and their whereabouts.
So tell me what's your name?
Asking for the person's name, possibly indicating a desire for a deeper connection.
I'm underground
Being in an underground state, suggesting a sense of seclusion or introspection.
And I could be your ghost
Offering to be a presence or memory for someone.
Wander around (I'm comin')
Expressing a willingness to be present and supportive.
Believe in me, if I'm staying safe or on a tree
Asking for trust and belief, whether in safety or taking risks.
Stay with me, if I'm staying home or roaming free, yeah
Requesting companionship, whether staying at home or exploring freely.
Boy, I've seen, I've seen it all come and go by me
Reflecting on witnessing the transient nature of life experiences.
Oh boy, I've seen, everything I love pass
Expressing the loss of things held dear.
But I believe in a world that's black and gold
Believing in a world characterized by contrasting elements, possibly referring to a nuanced perspective.
Don't nobody gotta know
Emphasizing the idea of keeping things private or unknown to others.
I wish I could go, somewhere low, where nobody gonna go
Expressing a desire for solitude in a place where others won't intrude.
And I wish I could run, anywhere else but home
Wishing for the freedom to escape from the familiar surroundings of home.
Don't no one know what's good or what's bad, or whatev
Uncertainty about distinguishing between good and bad, or other subjective judgments.
And I just swear to y'all that nobody gotta know
Reiterating the theme of keeping personal matters undisclosed to others.
If I find what happen to the souls I know
Pondering the fate or well-being of known individuals or souls.
Ooh, yeah
Expressing a response to a realization or discovery related to the souls mentioned.
The souls I know
Reiteration of the souls being contemplated or concerned about.
Mhm
An affirmative vocalization, acknowledging or confirming a sentiment.
