Woman
Brother Cane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I don't know what's worse
Having it all maybe
Or having nothing for sure
Shoot for the moon
Getting lost in the clouds
I'd like to land, but I
My baby
Do you understand what I'm going through
Oh my baby
Searchin' my soul
And the answer's the same
I'm in control, but I
Don't know the rules of the game
One step ahead
We take two steps back
I get the picture, but it's
Always fading to black
My Baby
Do you understand what I'm going through
Oh my baby
Oh, oh, oh
Well searchin' my soul
And the answer's the same
I'm in control, but I
Don't know the rules of the game
One step ahead
I take two steps back
I get the picture, but it's
Always fading to black
Always fading to black
Woman keep me warm
Woman keep me warm
Caught in this chain
And it's all the same
Woman keep me warm
Woman keep me warm
Woman keep me warm
Woman keep me warm
Woman keep me warm
We're caught in this chain
And it's all the same
Woman
Keep me warm
The lyrics of Brother Cane's song "Woman" appears to be an emotional and thoughtful reflection on the complexities of life and the challenges of making sense of it all. The opening lines of the song, "I used to know better, Now I don't know what's worse, Having it all maybe, Or having nothing for sure" sets the tone and mood of the song. The artist continues in the subsequent lines to describe the confusion and uncertainty that comes with trying to navigate through life's ups and downs, always aiming for success but feeling like he's always falling short.
The chorus of the song, "My baby, Do you understand what I'm going through, Oh my baby," appears to be a plea for understanding and support from a loved one. He appears to recognize that the challenges of life are not easy to navigate alone, and he seeks someone who can offer him comfort and reassurance, perhaps a significant other or a close friend. The lines that follow, "Searchin' my soul, And the answer's the same, I'm in control, but I Don't know the rules of the game," exemplify the difficulty of trying to understand oneself in the midst of the chaos of life.
Overall, "Woman" comes across as a deeply introspective song that seeks to make sense of the complexities of the human experience. There's a sense of hopelessness and helplessness in the song, but the artist appears to look for comfort in the power of love and support from others.
