Be a Man
Socialburn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you crawl do you crawl for me
When you come do you come for me
You say you want someone who's devoted
You say you want someone who's not afraid to be strong
You say you want someone, someone not me
Not me no

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know what it takes to be a man,
I'm doing all the things that you said
Now I don't know what it
Takes to be me
And I don't know what it takes, but I'll try
Trying hard like the next guy
All I know is I want to fall in love

When you cry do you cry for me
When you fight do you fight to be free
'Cause you say you want someone who's devoted
You say you want someone who's not afraid to be strong
You say you want someone, someone not me
Not me no

[Chorus]

When you cry, don't cry for me
Don't cry for me not me no

[Chorus]

I don't know what it takes but I'll try, I'll try,




I'll try
I want to fall in love

Overall Meaning

The song "Be A Man" by Socialburn has an interesting take on masculinity and how different people perceive it. The lyrics suggest that the person singing the song is trying to live up to someone else's expectations of what it means to be a man, and struggling to do so. The opening lines "When you crawl do you crawl for me, when you come do you come for me" suggest that the person is trying to please someone else, and that their actions are driven by their desire to please this person.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the line "I don't know what it takes to be a man, I'm doing all the things that you said", suggests that the person is frustrated by their inability to meet the expectations of the person they are trying to please. They feel like they are doing everything they are supposed to do, but it is not enough, and they feel lost and unsure of themselves.


Ultimately, the song seems to be about the desire to find love and connection, and the struggle to be true to oneself while also trying to please others. The person singing the song doesn't know what it takes to be a man, or even to be themselves, but they are willing to try and figure it out in order to find the love and connection they are looking for.
