Caught Up
Adrian Eagle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This was my young reflection
Don't get caught up on material things oh whao
Don't get caught up, oh whao oh thing
Don't get caught up on small things, oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah

Temporary love feel good but I'm not this
Typical things they come in and they go
I just wanna love myself
Checking all my mental health
Seeing what life seems golden
Realizing it's less than gold

I go and send above the sun when I was blind to see my own way
I know my materials presence then I can show me

I don't get caught up on material things oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah
Don't get caught up on small things, oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah

I spend so much money on that day
Caught up on my materials ride
Live a life, living in all luxury
More than life when living in the factory
My ignorance call, we are equal
Perhaps what I said I'm afraid
I'm tripping in gold but
How was my soul with that physical things

I don't get caught up on material things oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah
Don't get caught up on small things, oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah

What do I need at all?
To be free in my own
How can I see it from the truth
I gotta look what's in and see why
This slavery just done for me
We caught up in the trap too low,I I
I put my eyes tomorrow, whao

I won't get caught up on material things oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah
Don't get caught up on small things, oh whao
Cause we're all up oh whao oh thing, oh yeah

I go and send above the sun when I was blind to see my own way
I know my materials presence then I can show me

Overall Meaning

Adrian Eagle's song "Caught Up" is a reflective piece that encourages the listener to break away from the materialistic things that may tie them down. Adrian recalls his own journey, growing up with ideas of "temporary love" and material possessions, but ultimately understanding that these things don't bring true happiness or fulfillment. The chorus serves as a reminder to not get too caught up in these things, as they are fleeting and ultimately not what brings meaning to life. Instead, Adrian highlights the importance of self-love, mental health, and recognizing the beauty in the simpler aspects of life. The repetition of the phrase "caught up" throughout the song emphasizes the idea of being trapped in a mindset, but also suggests that there is a way out.
