Darker times
They're telling boulder heavy lies
Looks like all we've got is each other
The truth is obsolete
Remember when all I had was my mother
She didn't compromise
She could recognize
Voodoo
Our daughters and our sons
Are just candles in the sun
Voodoo
Don't let him see divide
Don't you let her see divide
Voodoo
She's got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit
He's got the whole wide world in his pants
He wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band
Then put the whole wide world on her hands
She's got the whole wide world in her hands
He's got the whole wide world in his hands

maybe its the fact that is 2 am right now but this album has inspired my 13 year self so much to actually believe I can make something and someone might acually care. It made me feel stupid, And made me think about African/African American history and the black community. Yet it also made me think about my relationships and how I live my life. It was so beautiful. It made me want to cry. It made me smile. It made me dance and sing. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. It was a 10/10.

@Alejandro Lopez so yknow candlelight vigils, for the dead, right? in poorer neighborhoods u can find them a lot (especially in African american nd Latin american communities), especially ppl lost to accidents or violence. i think it makes sense to think he may mean that our kids, black kids specifically maybe 2, a lot just grow up to be destroyed, just those vigils. but he may also mean it philosophically, as in, we're candles in the sun, that will someday melt and die, that have a lifespan. we might shine in darker moments. nd then return to the earth

some nothing what is the meaning behind the line

some nothing

1y↑2

of course u can.. and yeah, it makes me think about exactly that too, "our daughters and our sons, are just candles in the sun" pretty heartbreaking line. but with an obvious real world connotation, and philosophical one too

Baby Gomez I barely found out about frank. He’s a beautiful artist. I’m a boy this shit make me cry like crazy. I’ve been sleeping on him for years. And his fans aren’t toxic unlike other music I listen to. But yeah he’s great.

shit, who are you?

some nothing

and for clarification... "the truth is obsolete?"
for so long this made me so sad, and confused.. after being, royally fucked over, and lied to incessantly, and confused if that was even the truth, or was just bugging, or paranoid..
the whole wide world... just wishing, she would see that.. she is the whole world... but i also wondered if this meant something super deep, and way more profound... like on some spiritual shit, that i became convinced of, and later stopped thinking was true...
shit felt like my life tho dude, boulder heavy lies... this track felt and still feels so special...
this all was partly becuz of a ps yche delic trip i took too...
during which, i actually got fucked over even more, if u can believe that lmao. turned very bad..
