it took me over 2 years to make a hard decision... i will try my luck in a whole new race now, trying to mix blues, rap and electronics to reach even further, hopefully touching even more lost souls...
'09 now, an acoustic set is in the making and the word is being spread... at the moment i'm working together with JQ, who is providing beats and all other possible instruments to be played
Do It
A Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can’t even talk to myself
About the things you’ve done to me
And you’re still doing
Now you run along, keep doing me wrong
You can’t even see yourself
And all the things that you don’t know
And the things that you ruin
When you’re gonna hurt yourself
Yes you’ll be crying
Over the hand that you’ve been dealt
But you do it anyway
And you do it well
Now pick your clothes off the floor and walk out the door
But don’t you come crawling back in a while
When you need a friend,
Yes you’re gonna need a friend.
I’ve seen what you do, yeah I’ve done it too
But you can’t go on, living like that
In a broke down palace
That you tore down yourself
Now if the sun shines right, it’ll burn your sight
But you’ll still feel the warmth on your skin
Like the night when I held you tight
And you held me too
But a day’s gonna come
When you’re gonna hurt yourself
Yes you’ll be crying
Over the hand that you’ve been dealt
But you do it anyway
And you do it well
I can’t tell, if I’m doing well
I can’t even talk to myself
About the things you’ve done to me
And you’re still doing
The lyrics of A Thomas's song "Do it" are a lament about a dysfunctional relationship in which the singer is treated poorly, yet still can't break free. The first verse indicates that the singer is conflicted about how to evaluate the relationship, as they can't tell if they're doing well or not. It's also difficult to talk to oneself about the things the other person has done, as they continue to mistreat them. The second verse begins with the singer telling the other person to "run along" and keep doing them wrong, as they can't see themselves clearly. The singer knows that a day will come when the other person will "hurt" themselves, "crying" over the "hand that they've been dealt." In spite of this, however, the other person "does it anyway" and "does it well."
In the third verse, the singer tells the other person to "pick your clothes off the floor and walk out the door, but don't you come crawling back in a while when you need a friend." The singer has seen the other person's destructive behavior firsthand and knows that they can't continue to live that way. The sun shining right is used as a metaphor for the other person's blindness to their own destructive behavior. However, like the warmth of the sun on one's skin, there were once good moments in the relationship, but they are now gone.
Line by Line Meaning
I can’t tell, if I’m doing well
I'm unsure if I'm succeeding
I can’t even talk to myself
I can't even communicate with myself
About the things you’ve done to me
I can't even discuss the negative impact you've had on me
And you’re still doing
And you're continuing to cause harm
Now you run along, keep doing me wrong
You're leaving, but still causing harm
You can’t even see yourself
You're unaware of your own behavior
And all the things that you don’t know
You're ignorant to the consequences of your actions
And the things that you ruin
You're destroying things around you
But a day’s gonna come
Eventually, there will be consequences
When you’re gonna hurt yourself
You'll suffer from your own actions
Yes you’ll be crying
You'll be upset
Over the hand that you’ve been dealt
Because of the situation you created
But you do it anyway
You continue to act recklessly
And you do it well
You're skilled at causing destruction
Now pick your clothes off the floor and walk out the door
Leave and don't come back
But don’t you come crawling back in a while
Don't try to reconcile later on
When you need a friend,
When you're in need of support
Yes you’re gonna need a friend.
You'll need someone to help you
I’ve seen what you do, yeah I’ve done it too
I've witnessed your behavior and even engaged in it myself
But you can’t go on, living like that
You can't continue to live this way
In a broke down palace
In a destroyed environment
That you tore down yourself
That you caused to fall apart
Now if the sun shines right, it’ll burn your sight
Even good things can have negative consequences
But you’ll still feel the warmth on your skin
You'll still experience some positive aspects
Like the night when I held you tight
Like when we were close
And you held me too
And you reciprocated that closeness
But a day’s gonna come
But eventually there will be consequences
When you’re gonna hurt yourself
You'll suffer from your own actions
Yes you’ll be crying
You'll be upset
Over the hand that you’ve been dealt
Because of the situation you created
But you do it anyway
You continue to act recklessly
And you do it well
You're skilled at causing destruction
I can’t tell, if I’m doing well
I'm still unsure if I'm succeeding
I can’t even talk to myself
I still can't even communicate with myself
About the things you’ve done to me
About the negative impact you've had on me
And you’re still doing
And you continue to cause harm
