My Shoe Laces
Beng Beng Cocktail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the front, from the bottom, I guess you will get it
How long is going to take you to realise all the mistakes you did
Unless you care of your son
Who might be one day sent to prison
You'll think because he'll follow the same path as yours
No more terror on their faces, no more incidents and vices
No more supposed innocence that drives your hate
Your fucking victimless crime ends up right here
Your bullshit makes me feel like I want to run far away from you
CHORUS:
My shoe laces are tied and I know how far I can run not to stumble
My shoe laces are tied, my cap fits on my head
My shoe laces are tied and I know how far I can run not to stumble
My shoe laces are tied, my cap fits so well
You create, you create and apply your justice
You create and develop your own system in which
The rules are based on those of the talion law
As long as you feel like an outsider within the society
You think it justifies your stupid fucking subjective lunacy
CHORUS
To you justice seems wrong, then you take revenge on no matter who
Question, motherfucker, do you even know what you are angry for?
When will you start using your brain and not your hands, dumb?
An eye for an eye leads us to an innate feeling of revulsion
No more terror on their faces, no more incidents and vices
No more supposed innocence that drives your hate
Your fucking victimless crime ends up right here
Your bullshit makes me feel like I want to run far away from you
CHORUS
The lyrics of Beng Beng Cocktail's song "My Shoe Laces" are a powerful critique of the harmful effects of violence and injustice in society. The song begins with a description of the different perspectives from which the singer observes the world, suggesting that they have a comprehensive understanding of reality. However, the lyrics then shift to a condemnation of those who perpetuate violence and neglect their children, ultimately creating a cycle of destruction that harms everyone involved.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of being prepared and focused in order to avoid stumbling, both literally with tied shoe laces and metaphorically in life. The singer seems to be urging people to take responsibility for their own actions and to break free from the destructive cycles that hold them back.
The middle section of the song is a scathing indictment of those who seek revenge and justify their actions through subjective interpretations of justice. The lyrics argue that this kind of behavior is ultimately self-defeating, leading to a never-ending spiral of violence that only breeds more hatred and harm.
Overall, "My Shoe Laces" is a powerful call to action for individuals to take responsibility for their own actions and refuse to perpetuate the cycles of violence and injustice that plague our society.
