1999
Dj Pajaro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Water's gonna overflow
Swamp's gonna rise
No boat's gonna row
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
Now, don't you try an' move me
You're just gonna lose
There's a crash on the levee
And mama, you've been refused
Well, it's sugar for sugar
And salt for salt
If you go down in the flood
It's gonna be your own fault
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
Well, that high tide's risin'
Mama, don't you let me down
Pack up your suitcase
Mama, don't you make a sound
Now, it's king for king
Queen for queen
It's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
The song "1999" by Dj Pajaro is a bluesy number that describes a catastrophic flood that is about to happen. The lyrics are deep and insightful, and they urge the listener to be prepared for any eventuality that may come their way. The first verse talks about the impending disaster, with the singer warning the listener that there is a "crash on the levee," and that the water is going to overflow. The swamp will rise, and there will be no boat to row. The lyrics in the first verse are ominous, with the realization that a tragedy is about to happen.
In the second verse, the singer warns the listener not to try to move him, as they will only lose. The metaphorical meaning of the lyrics is that it is better to be prepared for the worst-case scenario than to try and fight against it. The singer goes on to say that if you go down in the flood, it will be your own fault, and that you need to find a best friend who can help you through the tough times.
The final verse talks about the rising tide, and how the flood is going to be the meanest that anybody has seen. The metaphorical point is that when things go wrong, they tend to go very wrong, and you need to be prepared for the worst. The singer warns the listener to pack up their suitcase and be ready to move, but to do it quietly.

Crash on the levee, mama
There's danger ahead, mom
Water's gonna overflow
Flood is coming
Swamp's gonna rise
Water level will increase
No boat's gonna row
It will be difficult to escape by boat
Now, you can train on down
You can try to leave the area
To Williams Point
A safer destination
You can bust your feet
You can make an effort to reach safety
You can rock this joint
You can have some fun before you leave
But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
Leaving behind loved ones is hard
You're gonna have to find yourself
You will need to start anew
Another best friend, somehow.
You'll find someone else to confide in
Now, don't you try an' move me
Don't try to persuade me otherwise
You're just gonna lose
Your efforts will be in vain
And mama, you've been refused
I cannot go with you
Well, it's sugar for sugar
We will treat each other fairly
And salt for salt
We will reciprocate everything
If you go down in the flood
If you get caught in the disaster
It's gonna be your own fault
You will bear the consequences
Well, that high tide's risin'
The water level is increasing
Mama, don't you let me down
Mom, please don't disappoint me
Pack up your suitcase
Get ready to leave
Mama, don't you make a sound
Leave quietly and quickly
Now, it's king for king
We must look after ourselves
Queen for queen
We must look after our own
It's gonna be the meanest flood
This flood will be harsh
That anybody's seen
Worse than we've experienced before
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
Leaving behind loved ones is hard
You're gonna have to find yourself
You will need to start anew
Another best friend, somehow.
You'll find someone else to confide in
