Lyrics
Whole heap of words that my mouth can't spill
Expressing difficulty in verbalizing thoughts or feelings.
Trapped in the webs of thought that I can't conceal
Feeling entangled in complex thoughts that are hard to hide.
So many time I wish this life wasn't real
Expressing a desire for life to be different or easier.
Yet am alive again, and real it feels
Despite challenges, the speaker acknowledges being alive.
Blessed to see the day so am up on my heels
Feeling fortunate to experience another day.
I have a family to feed so am up in the fields
Responsibility to provide for a family by working in the fields.
Put in my hundred percent and see what it yields
Putting in maximum effort and waiting to see the results.
And try not to burn all of the bridges I build
Attempting not to ruin relationships that have been built.
Kas,
A term, possibly a name, used to address someone.
For bridges are built for people to reach
Highlighting the purpose of building bridges for connection.
Each other whenever comes the times of need
Emphasizing the importance of bridges during times of need.
And bridges take time so if you build to reach
Building bridges takes time, suggesting patience in relationships.
It should be to the people you seek
Building connections with the intended people.
Daddy Said, now it's sinking deep
Reference to advice from the speaker's father.
Son, don't buy words cause talk is cheap
Caution against believing empty words due to their cheap nature.
So when you talk, make sure it's deep
Encouraging meaningful and profound communication.
Cause a shepherd is nothing without a sheep
Comparing the speaker to a shepherd and emphasizing the importance of followers.
And
Transition to discussing the value of the father's words.
Your words are gold that I choose to keep
Acknowledging the preciousness of the father's advice.
You were a soldier even till the flat line beep
Commending the father's resilience until his last breath.
And you know that even when its time to sleep
