Like Dad
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Decoding the Meaning Behind White Lung's 'Like Dad'
Lyrics
I wanna learn to make like you
I want to learn to emulate your actions or behavior
Break through the glass
Break through barriers or obstacles, possibly symbolic of challenges
All the part that felt like you
Understanding and assimilating the aspects that resemble you
I wanna learn to talk like you
Express myself in a manner similar to yours
I don't wanna feel sad
Expressing a desire to avoid feeling sad
I'm becoming spoiled
Suggesting a sense of becoming accustomed to a privileged or indulgent lifestyle
I just want your secret man
Expressing a desire to know the secret or key to something
I won't reply
Declaring a refusal to respond
I know
Acknowledging awareness
He knew it's coming back, and
Referring to anticipation or expectation of something returning
Never, never
Emphasizing the permanence of "never"
Never, never again
Repetition for emphasis on the idea of never again
He spoke the words like you weren't fine
Describing someone speaking words as if everything is not fine
Time to damage and close the blinds
Time to cause harm or destruction and close off from the world
I'm just wanting to do what's right
Expressing a desire to do what is morally right
Two years trying to defend what's right
Two years spent defending what is morally right
Oh, I wanna shake you all over
Expressing a desire to shake someone intensely
You cannot backwards
Unable to reverse or undo actions
'Til, you steal the store awhile around
Suggesting a scenario of stealing or looting a store for a while
I won't reply
Declaring a refusal to respond
I know
Acknowledging awareness
Like he knew it's coming back, and
Referring to anticipation or expectation of something returning
Never, never
Emphasizing the permanence of "never"
Never, never again
Repetition for emphasis on the idea of never again
Watch me drown it
Expressing a desire to be watched while drowning something
Watch me drown it
Repetition, possibly emphasizing the act of drowning
Watch me drown it
