Rastaman
Journey to Freedom: Rastaman's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Driving round in his fancy car
Driving around in a luxurious car
He said, hey babe, I'm gonna go real far
Expressing ambition to achieve significant success
Now we're sitting in an empty bar
Currently in a quiet or desolate bar
And he's playing on an old guitar
Playing music on an old guitar
I thought I smoked his last cigarette
Thinking the speaker consumed the last cigarette
But it seems like he was talking shit
Realizing the person was not truthful
Now he doesn't really give a damn
Indifference, as the person doesn't care anymore
'Cause he turned into a Rastaman
Transformed into a Rastaman (follower of Rastafari)
I'll take you to the moon
Promising to elevate the other person
He doesn't really know what to do with you
Uncertainty about how to handle the relationship
I'll try and paint the whole sky blue
Attempting to bring positivity (painting the sky blue)
He doesn't really wanna be with you
Not genuinely interested in being with the other person
Driving round in his fancy car
Repetition of earlier scenes – driving in a car
He said, hey babe, I'm gonna go real far
Reiteration of ambition to achieve success
Now we're sitting in an empty bar
Still in a quiet or desolate bar
Still playing on an old guitar
Continuing to play music on an old guitar
I thought I smoked his last cigarette
Believing the last cigarette was already smoked
But it seems like he was talking shit
Realizing the person was not truthful again
Now he doesn't really give a damn
Indifference persists; not caring anymore
'Cause he turned into a Rastaman
Reaffirmation of the transformation into a Rastaman
I'll take you to the moon
Repeating the promise to elevate the other person
He doesn't really know what to do with you
Continued uncertainty about handling the relationship
I'll try and paint the whole sky blue
Reiterating the attempt to bring positivity
He doesn't really wanna be with you
Reaffirming the lack of genuine interest in being with the other person
