Mophead
Mophead Reflections: A Soul Lost in Dreams and Gold
Lyrics
Look at me as I walk down the street
Expressing self-awareness and visibility while walking down the street.
I got people lining every single side of me
Acknowledging the attention and scrutiny from people surrounding the speaker.
They want me to be their king
Recognition of others expecting the speaker to be a leader or influential figure.
Cuz once upon a time I did something
Referring to a past action that garnered attention and possibly shaped perceptions.
I don't see what they see in me
Expressing confusion about the positive perception others have of the speaker.
Cuz realistically I'm not a noble being
Realizing that, realistically, the speaker doesn't embody noble qualities.
So it must just be a dream
Suggesting that the positive perception may be a dream or illusion.
Cuz real people tend to walk past quickly
Observation that real people tend to ignore or pass by the speaker quickly.
Quick pinch and I wake up
Describing a wake-up moment, possibly from a dream or illusion.
Then I make my way on over to the mirror
Heading to the mirror, implying self-reflection and evaluation.
And what I see just makes me quease
Expressing discomfort or dissatisfaction with the reflection in the mirror.
Cuz I'm a mophead
Introducing the term "mophead" as a self-deprecating or negative self-identity.
I don't do what I'm told
Describing characteristics of a "mophead" and expressing a desire for an end.
I'ma wish that I was dead 'til I get too old
-Am I what you want to see?
-I'll live fast
-Get draped in gold
-I'ma freeze in hell 'til it gets too cold
-Is this who I wanna be?
Pondering the speaker's identity and questioning its desirability.
Come with me
Inviting someone to join the speaker on a journey towards freedom and fulfillment.
Cuz if we're already free
-We wouldn't live life on the run
-Hiding from a bullet out the barrel of a gun
-Our dreams could be complete
-But I'm a mophead
Reiterating the speaker's self-perception as a "mophead" and questioning its desirability.
I don't do what I'm told
-I'ma wish that I was dead 'til I get too old
-Am I what you want to see?
-I'll live fast
-Get draped in gold
-I'ma freeze in hell 'til it gets too cold
-This is who I wanna be?
-I don't know why I keep on going
Expressing confusion, loss, and uncertainty in the speaker's journey.
I lost my will a long time ago
-I don't know where I keep on going
-I lost my way a long time ago
-I don't know how to keep on going
-I left my heart somewhere down the road
-I don't know how I keep on going
-I must just be some scared lost soul
-Cuz I'm a mophead
Repeating the self-deprecating term "mophead" and questioning the speaker's identity.
I don't do what I'm told
-I'ma wish that I was dead 'til I get too old
-Am I what you want to see?

-Get draped in gold
-I'ma freeze in hell 'til it gets too cold
