The Man
Drugs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I was a religious man
I was a religious man
I was a religious man till I found out how strong I am
I was a godly man
I was a godly man
I was a godly man till I found how broken I am
I am a shameful man
I am a shameful man
I am a shameful man my heart wanders from my home
I'm not the wisest man
I'm not the wisest man
I'm not the wisest man I sold my soul for a bit of gold
I was a religious man
I was a religious man
I was a religious man till I found out how strong I am
I was a godly man
I was a godly man
I was a godly man till I found how broken I am
YA!
I'm a bad bad man and I'm coming around
Sleazing on though with my sultry sounds
I see pretty girls in pretty gowns
God help them
I'm gonna own this one horse town
And I know who you are and I know where you’re from
And I know every name, I know every one
The un-blessed one, I’m still your favorite son
You can ask him
You can ask him




He’s gonna tell you I’m not the one
He will

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The Man" by Drugs portray a journey of self-discovery and a shift in the singer's beliefs and perception of themselves. The song starts with the singer describing themselves as a religious and godly person, feeling confident and steadfast in their faith. However, as the song progresses, they reveal that they have discovered their own strength and brokenness, leading them to question their religious convictions. They admit to being a shameful man, with a heart that wanders from their home and a lack of wisdom.


The lyrics suggest that they have made a trade-off, selling their soul for material gain. Despite this internal struggle and the loss of their religious identity, the singer still asserts their power and influence as a "bad bad man" who is coming around. They take pleasure in their ability to captivate and seduce others, especially women. However, there is an underlying sense of guilt or remorse as they acknowledge that their actions may harm those who are drawn to them.


Overall, the song explores themes of personal growth, disillusionment with faith, and the complexities of human nature. It delves into the inner conflict between perceived strength and brokenness, as well as the consequences of one's actions on others.
