Sacramento
Deep Dish Feat. Morel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't help but feeling that love is always dealing me a losing hand
California's sleeping and you've got me weeping
I am just a man
I'm just a man
I'm just a man

Standing at the airport she is just a cohort coffee in her hand
Sacramento's breathing and I can't help believing you don't understand

Don't understand
I'm just a man
Don't understand
I'm just a man

California's sleeping and you've got me weeping
I am just a man
I can't help but feeling that love is always dealing me a losing hand
My losing hand
I'm just a man

Standing at the airport she is just a cohort coffee in her hand
Sacramento's breathing and I can't help believing conscious of my losing hand
My losing hand
My losing hand
Don't Understand
My losing hand
Don't Understand

California's sleeping and you've got me weeping
I am just a man
I can't help but feeling that love is always dealing me a losing hand
My losing hand
My losing hand
Don't understand
My losing hand
Don't understand
My losing hand
Don't understand

Don't understand
Don't understand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deep Dish's song Sacramento speak about a feeling of vulnerability and defeat in a romantic relationship. The singer compares himself to being dealt a "losing hand" in love, implying that he has continuously faced disappointment and heartbreak. The chorus repeats the lines "California's sleeping and you've got me weeping, I am just a man," emphasizing the idea that the singer feels powerless in his relationship and unable to change the outcome.

The second verse introduces a female character who is standing with the singer at the airport. The lyrics suggest that she is not aware of the singer's struggles and inability to make things work in his romantic life. Sacramento, the setting of the song, can be interpreted as a symbol of the singer's emotional state, as he is unable to find solace or understanding in his surroundings.

Overall, the lyrics speak to the universal experience of feeling helpless and defeated in a relationship. The use of California and Sacramento as symbols of the singer's emotional state adds depth and meaning to the song, and the repetition of the chorus emphasizes the despair and hopelessness that the singer feels.
