SCENE 2
BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te pido que los bendigas con tu favor
Proveeles sus necesidades
Te pido que los protejas del daño y la maldad
Rodéales con la sombra de tu ala
Ve delante de ellos y prepara su camino
Si su camino está torcido, te pido que lo endereces
Protégelos de las trampas del enemigo
Dales paz perfecta a sus corazones
En el nombre de Jesús te lo pido
Amén
The lyrics of BROCKHAMPTON's "SCENE 2" are a spiritual prayer, expressing gratitude towards God for the gift of family and asking for his blessings and protection. The song begins with the line "Padre, gracias por mi familia," which is Spanish for "Father, thank you for my family." The singer then proceeds to ask for God's favor upon their loved ones and for their needs to be provided for. The use of phrases such as "rodéales con la sombra de tu ala" (surround them with the shadow of your wing) and "ve delante de ellos y prepara su camino" (go before them and prepare their way) suggest a desire for divine guidance and protection. The singer also asks for God to straighten their family's path if it is crooked, protect them from the enemy's traps and deception, and give them peace in their hearts. The prayer concludes with "In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen."
"SCENE 2" is unique among BROCKHAMPTON's discography as it is a purely instrumental track with no vocals. The song was produced by group member Romil Hemnani, who has produced the majority of the group's music. The use of the prayer in the song was inspired by the group's spiritual beliefs and the influence of religion in their lives. Interestingly, the group's founder Kevin Abstract has spoken publicly about his struggles with his Christian faith, making "SCENE 2" an intriguing inclusion on their album.
