Brymo Lyrics

With the Police
The shot he took
Was to send me to my peace
Is the ego
My only disease
To do right
When no one else will
Though I don't deserve it
Take all I have please
Love me leave me naked
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo la ba wa
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
I've carried a cross
That's not my own alone
I've fought a war
Against my own
I know
Lost it all and fortunes return
You alone
Knew me all that time
And it will be worth it
Though I don't deserve it
Take all I have please
Love me leave me naked
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo la ba wa
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
Iwowo la ba loh
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
And it will be worth it
Your love I don't deserve it
Take all I have please
Love me leave me naked
In Brymo's song "Naked," the lyrics explore themes of personal growth, resilience, and the desire for acceptance. The first verse references a conflict with the police, perhaps symbolizing the challenges met along life's journey. The singer recognizes their own ego as a potential problem in this scenario and chooses to focus on doing the right thing despite any external resistance. The line "take all I have please, love me leave me naked" suggests a willingness to be vulnerable and surrender to the unknown future. The second verse further emphasizes the idea of personal growth through struggle. The singer admits to carrying a cross that is not theirs to bear alone and fighting against themselves. This battle may have resulted in losses, but the hope for a better future remains. Overall, the song's message is about shedding all facades, embracing one's true self, and being content with being vulnerable and exposed.
Line by Line Meaning
The other day I fell out
Recently, I had a disagreement with someone
With the Police
It was with a law enforcement officer
The shot he took
He tried to harm me
Was to send me to my peace
He intended to kill me
Is the ego
The reason for my problems is my pride
My only disease
It is the only thing holding me back
To do right
I always try to do what is good and just
When no one else will
Even if it means standing alone
But it will be worth it
The struggle will have a good outcome
Though I don't deserve it
Even if I am not worthy of it
Take all I have please
I surrender everything I own to you
Love me leave me naked
Accept me for who I am, without pretense or impurities
Iwowo ni mo wa oh
I am a human being like you
I've carried a cross
I endured a great burden
That's not my own alone
It was not solely my burden to bear
I've fought a war
I struggled with internal conflicts
Against my own
These conflicts were with myself and my own weaknesses
I know
I am aware of the circumstances
Lost it all and fortunes return
I experienced a reversal of fortune
You alone
Only you understand me
Knew me all that time
You have been with me through everything
And it will be worth it
The struggle will be rewarded
Your love I don't deserve it
I am not worthy of your love
