Son of My Father
Evolution of Identity: Unveiling the Son's Journey
Lyrics
Father said to me we gotta have your life run night
Father advises the speaker to live their life responsibly at night.
Off you got to school where you can learn the rules there right
The speaker is sent to school to learn and adhere to societal rules.
Be just like your dad lad
Encouragement to emulate the father's behavior and values.
Follow in the same tradition
Emphasis on following the family's established customs.
Never go astray and stay an honest lovin' son.
Advice to never stray from the path and be an honest and loving son.
Son of my father
Identification as the son of the father.
Molded I was folded I was preform-packed
Describes being shaped and formed, possibly by parental influence.
Son of my father
Reiteration of being the son of the father, highlighting authority.
Commanded I was branded in a plastic vac'
Expresses being directed and marked as if part of a manufactured process.
Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts.
Feeling overwhelmed and confused by statistical information.
Tried to keep me in but jumped out of my skin in time
Attempt to constrain the speaker, but they rebel and break free.
I saw through the lies and read the alibi signs
Perception of deception and recognition of false justifications.
So I left my home I'm really on my own at last
Decision to leave home, seeking independence and individuality.
Left the trodden path and separated from the past.
Choosing a different path, distancing from the established past.
Son of my father
Reaffirmation of being the son of the father while undergoing change.
Changing rearranging into someone new
Undergoing transformation, becoming a new version of oneself.
Son of my father
Continued assertion of being the son of the father, despite changes.
Collecting and selecting independent views
Engaging in independent thinking and decision-making.
Knowing and I'm showing that a change is due.
Awareness that change is necessary and about to happen.
Son of my father
Repetition of being molded and folded, reinforcing the theme of influence.
Molded I was folded...
Continuation of the idea of being shaped and formed.
Son of my father
Final repetition of being the son of the father, emphasizing identity.
Molded I was folded...
Reiteration of the molding and folding process, concluding the narrative.
