Loose Conditions
Journey Through Time: Unveiling Life's Tapestry in 'Loose Conditions'
Lyrics
I descended from the cave man
I have a lineage dating back to primitive humans.
The first words written in the stone
The earliest communication was etched in stone.
I was cut from alabaster
I am metaphorically made of pure, white stone.
Days when man was all alone
Referencing a time when humanity was isolated.
I was harrowed by the masses
I faced difficulties imposed by the masses.
I was chosen by the few
I was selected or favored by a select few.
I was in charge of my own fate
I had control over my destiny before meeting you.
Way back before I met you
Referring to a time before a significant relationship.
I played pool with the apostles
I engaged in activities with significant historical figures.
In the basements of Montmartre
Participating in activities in the bohemian Montmartre.
I was wheeled through the market
Portraying a scene of vulnerability, being pushed in a cart.
In a broken shopping cart
Expressing disdain for meaningless conversations.
I hate useless conversation
Rejecting conformity to popular brands.
I don't buy into the brands
Recognizing the transient nature of truth.
I see truth inside a briefcase
Highlighting the uncertain ownership of truth.
But it keeps on changing hands
Referring to unpredictable and unstable circumstances.
Loose conditions
Introducing the concept of unpredictable situations.
Heaven's sake
An expression of exasperation or surprise.
I pray that I might die before I wake
A play on the traditional bedtime prayer.
I had beers with Janaab Pakal
Sharing an experience with a historical figure.
After holy wars
Post-war socializing with unexpected company.
I bought whiskey for the children
Providing liquor to underprivileged children.
In the ghetto liquor stores
Expressing reverence for the first woman.
Yeah I worshipped the first woman
Navigating challenges guided by a guiding star.
In the village of Hadar
Reflection on past lives and the inevitability of poverty.
We were guided through the darkness
Commentary on societal judgment based on wealth.
Underneath the first north star
A critique of being judged by societal standards.
You may come from wealth and riches
Emphasizing the common origin of humanity.
But in a past life you were poor
A reminder that everyone has humble origins.
You aint gonna make your own name
Challenge to make a personal impact despite societal expectations.
With the big man keeping score
Reference to societal judgment and accountability.
So when you ask me to have manners
Response to criticism, asserting independence.
Say I get out of control
Encouraging recognition of shared origins.
Don't you see where we all came from?
A call to acknowledge the darker aspects of existence.
Cant you hear the darkness call?
Reiteration of unpredictable and challenging conditions.
Loose conditions
Repeating the theme of uncertain circumstances.
Heaven's sake
Repetition for emphasis and exclamation.
I pray that I might die before I wake
A continuation of the modified prayer.
I invented your addictions
Claiming responsibility for societal habits.
To decipher the strong willed
Attribution of strong will to decipher addictions.
I was first to coin the phrase
Originality in coining the phrase "kill or be killed."
Kill or be killed
Repetition for emphasis on the harsh reality.
Kill or be killed
Stressing the harshness of existence and choices.
Loose conditions
Reiteration of unpredictable conditions.
Heaven's sake
Repetition for emphasis and exclamation.
I pray that I might die before I wake
A continuation of the modified prayer.
