Satisfy
Brother Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah, I got no time for spending at home
That ain't what I need
'Cause every time I get you alone
It makes me want the finer things, yeah

But you confuse me with a schoolboy
Feeling schoolboy shame
I can't shake it, that's my soul
That's spinning me round bringing me down
Just can't take this hot and cold
Open your eyes and see

That don't satisfy me, that don't satisfy me
Well, you got me hanging from a fever tree
That don't, it don't satisfy me

You're strapping me with a ball and chain
And there's got to be a reason why
And now the clock's tick ticking away
I know you ain't that shy

Don't like running in your rat race
We never slide into the finish line

Put your X here, drink my wine
You best to come down, beat on the ground
Thumbs up, sugar, rain or shine
Might be falling down for the count, yeah

That don't satisfy me, that don't satisfy me
Well, you're burning spices in my recipe
That don't, it don't satisfy me

Oh, yeah, I can't shake it, that's my soul
That's spinning me round, bringing me down
Just can't take this hot and cold, no
You got to open your eyes and take a look around

That don't satisfy me, that don't satisfy me, no
That don't satisfy me, that don't satisfy me
Well, you got me hanging from a fever tree
You're burning spices in my recipe

That don't satisfy me, that don't, it don't satisfy me
Come on now, yeah, satisfy me, oh, satisfy me




Satisfy me, satisfy me, satisfy me, satisfy me
Oh, satisfy me, satisfy me, satisfy me, yeah, satisfy me, satisfy me

Overall Meaning

The song "That Don't Satisfy Me" by Brother Cane is an introspective look at a relationship that doesn't meet the expectations and desires of the singer. He admits that he doesn't have time for spending at home and that he yearns for the finer things in life, implying that his partner doesn't provide him with what he wants. The chorus repeats the line "That don't satisfy me," indicating his dissatisfaction with the status quo.


However, the character also acknowledges his own feelings of insecurity and shame, suggesting that he may have contributed to the discord in his relationship. He feels like a "schoolboy" who can't shake his shame, and his soul is "spinning me round bringing me down." Despite this, the singer believes that his partner is also to blame and has "strapped me with a ball and chain." He feels like he's running in a rat race and can't ever cross the finish line with his partner.


Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the complexities and confusions of modern relationships. It shows that even when we have what we think we want, we may ultimately find ourselves feeling unfulfilled and searching for something more.

المواقف اللي بتثبتلك كل يوم انك بتتعامل غلط معاهم في ناس محتاجه معامله خاصه عشان يحسوا باللي بيعملوا
فيه تصرفات كده بتخلي شخص يقل فى نظرك ..
مش تزعل منه .. لا يقل .. و دي حالة أخطر من الزعل ..
لأن الزعل قابل للتغيير مع الوقت ..
أما الحالة التانية بتبقى نقطة نهاية لناس فى حياتنا ..
التصرفات دى بتخليه يطلع برة مجال رؤيتك
لدرجة إنه ممكن يعدي من قدامك و متبقاش شايفه ..
تصرفات تخليه يموت فى عينك و هو لسه عايش ..
فيه شخص بتصرفاته و أسلوبه يخليك تندم إنك عرفته أصلاً ..
إللى زى دول ما يتزعلش عليهم ..
الواحد بس بيزعل من نفسه إنه كان مديهم حجم أكبر من إللي يستحقوه ..🖤
