Faith
Faithful Resilience: MONEYPHONE's Soulful Reflections on Life's Complexities
Lyrics
Man never mind, never mind the tender hearted fool
Expressing disregard for sensitive individuals, suggesting a resilient attitude.
The broken hearted, throws a party, acting brand new
People who have experienced heartbreak may adopt a carefree attitude, pretending to be new.
You cut your hair in hopes of feeling oh-so brand new
Symbolic act of change, cutting hair for a fresh start and a new perspective.
You cut a hand to let it slide across that smooth counter
Metaphorically cutting oneself, possibly to leave a mark or for self-expression.
Life 'round here, life 'round here ain't so simple
Life in the speaker's surroundings is complex and not straightforward.
Life 'round here, all my niggas ain't so civil
Not all the speaker's associates are polite or conform to societal norms.
Wait for me, man, wait for me, I might have some left
Requesting someone to wait, possibly for something valuable.
The wait for me, the wait for me is all we got left
Waiting is the only option, emphasizing its significance.
Man, I pray, never lose faith in each other
Encouraging the maintenance of faith and unity among people.
And congregate over this conflagration
Gathering around a significant event or conflict.
Made mistakes, those hold weight, they're my brothers
Accepting mistakes as meaningful and bonding experiences with close ones.
Pull me closer and wrap me in wool
Desiring emotional closeness and protection from those considered family.
Life 'round here, life 'round here ain't so simple
Reiteration of the complexity of life in the speaker's environment.
Life 'round here, all my niggas ain't so civil
Highlighting the lack of civility in the speaker's social circle.
Wait for me, man, wait for me, I might have some left
Repeating the plea to wait, hinting at the scarcity of resources or time.
The wait for me, the wait for me is all we got left
Reinforcing the importance of waiting as a significant act.
See you in the early morning
Anticipating meeting someone in the early morning.
Never came with a warning (never came)
Highlighting the unexpected nature of encounters, lacking a prior warning.
I'm fatiguing off the defense
Expressing fatigue or weariness regarding defensive behavior.
Keep at least a couple reasons why I never call home
Keeping reasons for not contacting home, possibly implying personal struggles.
See you in the early morning (in the morn)
Repeating the anticipation of meeting in the early morning.
Never came with a warning (never came)
Emphasizing the lack of prior warning regarding the encounter.
I'm fatiguing off the defense
Reiterating weariness or fatigue related to defensive actions.
Keep at least a couple reasons why I never call home
Maintaining undisclosed reasons for avoiding contact with home.
Busy speeding through my twenties
Busy and rapid progression through the speaker's twenties.
Serotonin mixed in water, let it go
Mention of serotonin in water, possibly alluding to emotional or mental states.
Never lose faith in me
An urging to never lose faith in the speaker.
Never lose faith in me
Repeating the plea to maintain faith in the speaker.
Call me if you need somebody
Offering availability and support to others if needed.
But you were never one to let your feelings show
Noting the difficulty of the person in showing emotions openly.
Never lose faith in me
Repeating the request to never lose faith in the speaker.
Never lose faith in me
Emphasizing the enduring nature of faith in the speaker.
