Interesting indeed. These self-catergorised proponents of 'Monk Rock' include names like Idlewild, the Sex Pistols, NOFX and Less Than Jake. Oh, and Harry Connick Jnr.
Having built up a strong and dedicated following in their area (just take a look at their forum board!) they've just released the 'New Wave EP'. Items in their back catalog include their two demos, 'Fool on Show' and 'Happy Go Loser'. Oh and you can buy some great looking hoodies from their web site, which is itself well worth a good look.

Regrettably, the band have now quit.

Cephas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m in Kansas sipping tears
Shorty met a man and then he ain’t been dripping since
We got what we want and then we ain’t been meeting since
Jelly ain’t been pinking since
Cherry ain’t been juicy since
Maybe cos it got a brown around her premises
Maybe cos it got to ring up when the button clicks
Maybe cos I don’t believe a thing the lady says

Maybe cos her favor start to have Vanilla taste
Maybe cos we all are going through couple seasons
Cos everybody started changing its different
You getting bread and they fuck with you different
If you ain’t got it they gone step on you. Useless
Watched The sun set and I know it ain’t evening
Heard the Right woman Left for Rome this evening
Sent them all Away guess whose Home is leaving
Let the Fangs stay cos I know they ain’t Bleeding

I got money but I want some more
Let it go round so we all turn up
Take what’s mine I don’t take what’s yours
If you take what’s mine then I take what’s yours
I got problems that I want no more
Doctor said I worry is why I drink too much
Take what’s mine and I take what’s yours
Take what’s theirs and I take some more

I’m in Gidi where’s My Guy
If I tell you that I really need you then I lied
If I tell you that I’m really with you then I’m high
If She tell you that she’s with the girls then She ain’t right
Maybe cos She thought that you ain’t got your penny right
Maybe cos she thought that IT gone make your penny wise
Maybe cos she don’t believe the text that you gone write
Maybe cos your favor start to have Vanilla lies
Maybe cos we all are going through couple seasons
Cos everybody started changing its different
You getting bread and they fuck with you different
If you ain’t got it they gone step on you. Useless
Watched The sun set and I know it ain’t evening
Heard the right woman left for Rome this evening
Sent them all away guess whose home is leaving
Let the Fangs stay cos I know they ain’t bleeding

I got problems that I want no more
Doctor said I worry is why I drink too much

Take what’s mine and I take what’s yours
Take what’s theirs and I take some more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cephas's song "Seasons" delve into themes of change, betrayal, and the challenges that come with success. The verses paint a picture of personal struggles and relationships affected by shifting circumstances.

The first verse highlights the changes that occur in a romantic relationship. The persona, possibly Cephas himself, reflects on a woman he was once involved with who has since moved on to another man. The lyric "Shorty met a man and then he ain’t been dripping since" implies that the woman found someone new and no longer shows affection or interest towards the persona. This change is further emphasized by the lines "Jelly ain’t been pinking since, Cherry ain’t been juicy since," suggesting that the pleasures and excitement they once shared have dissipated. The persona questions the authenticity of the woman's words and actions, feeling skeptical and perhaps hurt by the situation.

The chorus reinforces the desire for more, both in terms of material wealth and personal fulfillment. The persona acknowledges having money but still wanting more, indicating that success or wealth alone are not enough to satisfy them. The line "Take what’s mine I don’t take what’s yours" could be interpreted as a declaration of individuality and not stepping on others to achieve personal goals. However, the following line "If you take what’s mine then I take what’s yours" suggests that if someone crosses the persona, they will retaliate and take from them in return.

The second verse shifts the focus to the persona's environment, specifically referencing a location called "Gidi," which is likely a nickname for Lagos, Nigeria. The persona questions the loyalty of the people around them, expressing doubt and suspicion. The line "If She tell you that she’s with the girls then She ain’t right" suggests a lack of trust in a female companion. The persona suggests that people may be motivated by financial gain, indicated by the line "Maybe cos she thought that IT gone make your penny wise." The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the themes of wanting more and taking what one believes is rightfully theirs.

Overall, the lyrics of "Seasons" touch on the complexities of relationships, the challenges of success and change, and the potential betrayal that can come from those close to us. The song portrays a sense of weariness and caution as the persona navigates the shifting seasons of their life.
