Harlem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll ask me for a glass of water
I say no
You can just let that sh-t burn
And you'll say
Please, please, please put me out
I promise not to do it again
Whatever I did to you.
Oh please, please, please, put me out.
I promise not to do it again
Whatever I did to you.
Oh please put me out
I promise not to do it again
Dirty lies to get like to me
And even he cant tell that's a suitcase between
Your knees
Oh I believe that somebody had to leave,
But God almighty it couldn't be me
And you'll say
Please put me out!
I promise not to do it again!
In Harlem's song "Someday Soon", the lyrics convey a narrative of someone who has done something regrettable and is ultimately seeking forgiveness. It begins with a forewarning that "someday soon" the person will regret their actions to the point of desperation, symbolized by the metaphor of being on fire and seeking a glass of water. The singer, however, refuses to help, telling them to just let the fire burn. The chorus repeats the phrase "please put me out," with the person pleading for forgiveness and vowing to never repeat the mistake.
The second verse further elaborates on the situation with the revelation of "dirty lies" told by the person and the implication of infidelity with a reference to a suitcase between their knees. The singer expresses their anger at being wronged, empathizing with the person who had to leave but refusing to be the one to do so. The chorus once again begs for forgiveness, with the repetition emphasizing the desperation of the person seeking redemption.
Overall, the lyrics highlight the complexity of human relationships and the power dynamics within them. The singer is in a position of power, refusing to help the person who has wronged them, but also exhibits empathy and understanding for the situation. The repetition of the chorus adds emphasis to the dramatic situation and the intense emotions involved.
