CONVOLK Lyrics

(Nicasso)

I've got no friends
This is where the road ends
I've got no friends
I've got no friends

I'm letting time pass in the same place in my life
Can't write a good song, how to fucking survive
Can't right a good wrong, Lord, know when to try
Can't fight a dark soul, won't show him my light

I was in the same room as the devil alive
Now we in the same room near every night
I'm the black sheep, people see something they write
I'm the black sheep people don't want in they life

I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, the black sheep

Sinister side, don't follow me now
Take a quick ride, I'm tumbling down
Sinners outside before I tumble around
Sinners outside, my humble abound

Sinister side, don't follow me now
Take a quick ride, I'm tumbling down
Sinners outside, before I tumble around
Sinners outside, my humble abound

I'm the black sheep, baby, don't look with your eyes
I'm the black sheep, baby, don't look with your eyes
I'm the black sheep, baby
I'm the black sheep, baby

I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, the black sheep

I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, I go baa-baa-baa
I'm the black sheep, the black sheep

Overall Meaning

The song "Black Sheep" by CONVOLK is a somber reflection on loneliness, isolation, and feeling like an outcast. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels abandoned and disconnected from those around them, with no sense of direction or purpose. The title itself is a reference to being the "black sheep" of a group or family, someone who is perceived as different or problematic.


The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the repeated refrain of "I've got no friends." This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the line "This is where the road ends," which suggests a lack of hope or possibility for change. The singer then goes on to express their frustration with their own creative abilities, unable to "write a good song" or "right a good wrong." This lack of productivity and progress only adds to their sense of despair.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm the black sheep" several times, driving home the point that the singer feels like an outsider who doesn't fit in with the rest of society. Even the devil is included in this group, with the line "I was in the same room as the devil alive / Now we in the same room near every night." This imagery adds to the overall sense of darkness and despair that permeates the song.


The second half of the song continues to explore these themes of loneliness and hopelessness. The lines "Sinister side, don't follow me now / Take a quick ride, I'm tumbling down" suggest a feeling of being lost, with no one to guide or support the singer. The repeated refrain of "I'm the black sheep" reinforces the idea that the singer sees themselves as an outsider who doesn't belong.


Overall, "Black Sheep" is a deeply introspective and melancholy song that speaks to the struggles of feeling disconnected and alone. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the sense of despair and hopelessness that the singer feels.
