Saga
Basement Jaxx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So unkind
Saga, saga
Let me be fair
Saga, saga
What's your point?
It's a cruel doom
You cut me up like a razor, razor
You're just limiting all the possibilities
You're just limiting all the possibilities

Just thought it through
Saga, saga
Twisted intent
Saga, saga
What's your problem?
It's a no-rules school
Why you cutting me like a razor, razor?

You're just limiting all the possibilities
You're just limiting all the possibilities

Saga, saga, saga

You're just limiting all the possibilities
You're just limiting all the possibilities

Just go and put down your knife
Where the problem goes
Tell 'em hold your fire
It's a, eh eh eh eh eh eh

Saga, saga, saga

It's such a saga
Such a saga, saga
It's such a saga
Such a saga, saga
It's such a saga
Such a saga, saga
It's such a saga
Such a saga, saga

You're just limiting all the possibilities
You're just limiting all the possibilities
You're just limiting all the possibilities
You're just limiting all the possibilities

Saga, saga, saga, saga, saga, saga.
Saga, saga, saga, saga, saga, saga.




Saga, saga, saga, saga, saga, saga.
Saga, saga, saga, saga, saga, saga.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Basement Jaxx's song "Saga" convey a feeling of frustration and being held back. The repeated phrase "you're just limiting all the possibilities" suggests that the singer feels like someone or something is preventing them from reaching their full potential, and is cutting them down with a razor-like precision. The use of the word "saga" adds to the sense of drama and epic conflict, as though this struggle is an ongoing, sweeping story.


The second half of the song introduces a sense of resolution, as the singer encourages whoever is holding them back to "put down your knife" and stop limiting what they can do. The repeated "Saga, saga, saga" at the end feels almost like a chant or mantra, as though the singer is determined to overcome whatever obstacle is in their path.


Overall, "Saga" seems to be a song about pushing back against those who would hold us down and limit our potential, and finding the strength to fight for our own success.
