New Strings Attached
Therapeutic Musings: Defying Gravity with New Strings
Lyrics
Yo
Expression of attention or greeting
Yo
Repetition of the greeting or attention
Yo, so check it out
Introduction to a narrative or explanation
Yeah so the last few months have been kind of Interesting you know
Reflection on recent interesting experiences
Somedays, just much harder than others, sort of in limbo between stillness and the desire
Describing challenging days, feeling stuck between stillness and the desire for change
To sort of just shake until the world kind of rocks, you know
Expressing a desire to shake things up in life
But more precisely, I was doing this cleanse, so I biked every day, like super early in
Reference to a cleansing routine involving daily biking
The morning for like a month
Continuation of the cleansing routine and morning habits
And then I would just grab fruits at my deli, and you know, good New York deli
Mention of getting fruits from a New York deli
Everybody loves a good deli
Expressing appreciation for a good deli
But to me, both of those things just in tandem are kind of just super therapeutic
Highlighting the therapeutic nature of biking and deli visits together
And then I caught the subway like once in that time period
Minimal use of the subway during the mentioned time
And dude, I noticed that 59th Street has these 90s-looking mini screens
Observation of 90s-looking mini screens at 59th Street
Damn, damn, damn, damn, here it goes
Expression of a realization or reaction
Reminded me of this little screen I had in my bedroom when I was a kid, you know
Recollection of a childhood screen, nostalgic thought
And just like, kind of like a nice thought every once in a while
Appreciation for occasional positive thoughts
Well, well, well, well, here it comes
Repetition of an expression anticipating something
Oh, yo
Expression of surprise or realization
And then suddenly, like, there was Ramadan on my mind
Transition to thoughts about Ramadan
Like, I saw myself at the mosque in Harlem, right
Imagining being at a mosque in Harlem during Ramadan
And you know, like, I definitely thought that my mom would dig that thought because she's
Expectation that the mother would appreciate thoughts of prayer and cleansing
The one who's always telling me, like, you gotta go pray, you gotta go cleanse
Reference to the mother's advice on prayer and cleansing
And you know, like, I bring that same energy Into studio because that's the place I can
Bringing the same energy to the studio for musical expression
Let the music out
Studio as a place to release music creatively
Could defy gravity
Expressing the ability to defy gravity in the studio
With new strings attached
Introduction of the concept of "new strings attached"
Could defy gravity
Reiteration of the ability to defy gravity with new strings attached
With new strings attached
Repetition of the theme of defying gravity with new strings attached
Could defy gravity
Continuation of the theme of defying gravity with new strings attached
With new strings attached
Conclusion of the lyrics with a repetition of the theme
