My Society
De-Phazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
late '69 was like duty free.
pleasure was the law in my society.
in my society I am only solitary not alone.
looking for a little place nothing more than home.
and the apple was found far away from the tree.
was it really (?
even?) my responsibility.
no money won't pay my society.
in my society I am only solitary not alone.
looking for a little place nothing more than home.
in my society I am only solitary...
not alone.
looking for a little place...
nothing more than home.
late '69 was like duty free.
pleasure was the law in my society.
The lyrics of De-Phazz's song "My Society" paint an image of a utopian society from the perspective of the singer. The opening line, "If I had my say come rain or shine I'd trade a tear for a kiss anytime," speaks to the idea that in this society, any negative emotion can be balanced out with a positive experience. The following line, "late '69 was like duty free," references the cultural and social liberation of the late '60s and early '70s, suggesting that this society embodies the same sense of liberation and freedom.
As the lyrics progress, the singer describes this society as one in which pleasure is the law. The idea of pleasure as a guiding principle reinforces the notion of this society being a utopia, as pleasure is something that everyone seeks and enjoys. The singer also notes that in this society, they are "only solitary, not alone," which implies a sense of community and belonging.
The final lines of the song suggest that this society is not without its challenges. The reference to an apple being found far away from the tree, followed by the question of responsibility, implies that there are issues that arise in this society that may be difficult to deal with. However, despite these challenges, the singer remains committed to finding "a little place nothing more than home" within this utopian society.
Overall, the song "My Society" offers a nostalgic and idealistic view of a society that values pleasure and community, but also acknowledges the complexities that come with creating such a world.
