Desperado
Aries Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In case of fire
Drown in pots of gold
If our time expires
You've been nice to know (woo)
Keep leaving traces (alright)
Keep leaving traces

Pace yourself, one shot, don't fill it I'll waste it
Pump my brakes, still swerve ya' lately
Sinking in my own fears, come save me
Throw me the wrong rope, I might

So far MIA (so far)
Cup around my waist (my waist)
Please pick up the phone
And on, and on, and ring, and ring

Ma used to be broke, payin' homage (homage)
Pop's cigarette smoke from the garage (garage)
Interest full, you lost me (lost me)
Never gets old, you're too much (too much)
Ma used to be broke payin' homage (homage)
Pop's cigarette smoke from the garage (garage)
Interest full you lost me (lost me)
(Never gets old, you're too much)

In case of fire
Drown in pots of gold
If our time expire
I'll never escape you, now
So far MIA
Cup around my waist (my waist)
Please pick up the phone
And on, and on, and ring, and ring (yeah)

Ma used to wake up to her old job
Said it ain't over 'til it's over
Desperado, on the sidelines
Whippin' Gelato
I know you can't see me, on read
High enough, ridin' west
I don't feel ya
I don't feel ya

In case of fire
Drown in pots of gold
If our time expire
I'll never escape you, now
So far MIA
Cup around my waist (my waist)
Please pick up the phone
And on, and on, and ring, and ring (yeah)

Ma used to be broke, payin' homage
Pop's cigarette smoke from the garage




Interest full, you lost me (give it all away)
Never gets old, you're too much (too much, too much)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aries's song "Desperado" contain a mix of themes such as desperation, survival, and self-reflection. In the chorus, the artist sings "In case of fire, drown in pots of gold, if our time expires, you've been nice to know." This suggests that the singer is willing to cling to riches, but only to escape his eventual demise. The idea of leaving a mark is repeated throughout the song, with the artist imploring listeners to "keep leaving traces." This could mean that he wants a piece of himself to remain even after he is gone.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's fears and doubts, as he asks for someone to save him from his own personal demons. He also questions the loyalty of those around him, wary of anyone who could toss him the wrong rope. The last verse talks about the artist's past, and how his parents struggled to make ends meet. Despite this, they managed to find something worth living for. The chorus is repeated twice more, suggesting that the artist is still grappling with the same issues.
