Class Historian
Broncho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chill down, I'm doing great
Doing well is pretty vague
Single mama I wanna get that number
You look as strong as you did before

But you know old time, one to one
CLASS HISTORIAN
You cut in line, you cutting cake
You cut in line, I was up in my stake
But you can get back in, you can get back in
You know that you're cutting ties when you're cutting time

You know old time, the tired one
CLASS HISTORIAN

You know you'll never gonna let your suenos
You know you really gonna wet my dream




But you know you get it up, you gotta get that number
You look the same as you did before

Overall Meaning

The song "Class Historian" by Broncho could be interpreted in various ways, but one of the apparent themes that it conveys is the idea of nostalgia and reminiscing about the past. The first verse alludes to the difficulty of defining the state of one's life in one word, and the struggles of a single mother who wants to get someone's number. The song seems to transcend time and age by reminding the listener of the old days and people they used to know. The second verse alludes to someone who cut in line and got ahead, whereas the singer was still stuck in his ways. The person cutting in line could have had a more successful life or career, while the singer was not doing as well. The singer encourages the person to get back in line, as it's never too late to start over. The "Class Historian" mentioned throughout the song serves to remind the listener of their academic memories and the people they knew in the past.
