You Carry the Deed
Deradoorian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On what is what, when it is wanted only
Who is the one with the light on their shoulder
To carry love, to carry the burning
I know, I know it's you, oh
To carry the deed, let it go
Carry the deed, let it go
I know it's you, oh
To carry the deed, let it go
Carry the deed, let it go
You'll always control
I know, I know it's you, oh
To carry the deed, let it go
Carry the deed, let it go
You'll always control, i know
The lyrics of Deradoorian's song "You Carry the Deed" is one that is open to interpretation by the listener. The song suggests a search for inner peace, and freedom from guilt or regret. The lines "What is the way to forget, solely/ On what is what, when it is wanted only" suggest the idea of wanting to move forward, but not knowing how to do it. The question of what it takes to let go and move on is raised here. It can be inferred that the singer desires to forget something that causes pain and burden in their life.
The refrain of the song "I know, I know it's you, oh/ To carry the deed, let it go/ Carry the deed, let it go/ You'll always control, I know" is a call to action for the singer to carry the responsibility and let go of what they cannot control. The phrase "carry the deed" could suggest the idea of taking responsibility for something that has been done or committed, but finding a way to move on from it. The repeated line "You'll always control, I know" could imply that the singer is assuring themselves that they are still in control of their own life, despite past mistakes or events that have occurred.
Overall, "You Carry the Deed" can be interpreted as a song about self-forgiveness, and the journey towards acceptance and inner peace. Through the lyrics, the singer recognizes that they have the power to let go of the past and reclaim control of their own life.
