Love and Greed
Unveiling the Complex Dance of Love and Greed in Human Hearts
Lyrics
I want to tell you about something special
Intention to discuss something special.
I want to tell you what makes men need
Desire to explain what drives men.
I think I'm talking 'bout what we all get into
Referring to a common experience.
I think I'm talking 'bout love & greed
Discussing the themes of love and greed.
You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
Encouragement to interpret the message at one's pace.
'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed
Warning about succumbing to love and greed.
A man in love gonna take to wanting
Love leads to desires and needs.
A greedy man gonna do the same
Greed parallels the actions of a man in love.
One is a man before congratulations
Love involves genuine emotions.
One is to make you feel the need to strain
Greed induces a strained need for more.
You say "look at him" but look once again
Suggesting a reconsideration of initial perceptions.
When you're living on the tastes of a different man
When exposed to different experiences.
Love and greed are one and the same
Equating love and greed.
A man in love willing to walk through fire
Love requires enduring hardships.
A greedy man like a moth to a flame
Greed draws one towards destructive tendencies.
A man in love willing to go half crazy
Love can lead to passionate behavior.
A greedy man likely to go insane
Greed tends to result in irrational behavior.
You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
Encouragement to proceed cautiously.
'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed
Reiteration of caution about love and greed.
So the trap's been set and you've took the bait
Being lured into a situation.
You saw it all go down just a little too late
Realizing the situation's outcome too late.
But now you're hooked and to your surprise
Becoming entangled despite initial awareness.
You saw how some of it was real and some was lies
Recognizing the blend of truth and deception.
But you're in too deep 'cause you care too much
Being deeply involved due to caring excessively.
And there's never been a cure for that as such
No solution for caring too much.
You could see prison bars or call it home sweet home
Comparison between confinement and familiarity.
But like it or not you're no longer alone
Loss of solitude due to entanglement.
A man in love don't know what he's doing
Confusion in the actions driven by love.
A greedy man always says he does
Greed masks uncertainty behind false confidence.
A man in love sold his soul up the river
Suggesting a sacrifice of values for love.
That's where a greedy man's soul always was
Greed inherently lacks values.
You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
Reiteration of advice to proceed cautiously.
'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed
Highlighting the commonality of falling for love and greed.
