Duet or Don't
Unlocking Musical Truths: Duet or Don't by Porch Beers
Lyrics
Oh, Joe
Addressing someone named Joe
Don't you know
Expressing surprise or disbelief
It's all about the vocals?
Highlighting the importance of vocals in music
You're not a musician
Suggesting Joe is not a true musician
If you don't sell merch
Linking musician identity to merchandise sales
Oh, bro
Addressing someone as "bro"
You should go
Suggesting the person should seek advice from locals
Ask some of the locals
Encouraging Joe to audition as a drummer for a church
If you can audition
Questioning Joe's musical abilities
To plays drum for church
Connecting drumming to church activities
Do it or don't
Encouraging a decision to either pursue or abandon
But shut up
Advising to be silent if not taking action
Do it or don't
Reiterating the choice to do or not do
But shut the fuck up
Emphasizing the need to be quiet if not acting
Oh, no
Expressing concern or disbelief
Did you throw
Questioning if Joe wasted a significant part of his life
Away most of your life?
Asking about neglecting self-promotion or marketing
Forgetting to market
Highlighting dissatisfaction with the written work
This bullshit you write?
Suggesting the futility of Joe's creative output
