An Honest Man
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I'm in love again
No this time its not with my hand
Wandering murdering
Every time that I get the chance

I'm a human but remember first I'm a man
You painted pictures for me
That I refuse to understand
Cause I want everything for no reason
Cause yesterday it felt so good
But today it feels so bad

These streets got me wandering
Looking for my fix again
I should have paid the chinese girl
Now I'm losing everything I have

Yesterday if felt so good
But now it feels so bad

Now I'm alone again
Empty black and very cynical
I can't get enough
My condition is critical

Deep dark lover momma
Sure got enough to eat
When I'm not alone cryin
Murdering
Wandering
I'll rip your heart out with my pretty smile
Help Me!

Girl I want everything you got for no reason
Yesterday it felt so good
But now it feels so bad

These streets got me wanderin'
Looking for my fix again
I should have paid the Chinese girl
Now I'm losing everything I have

Yesterday it felt so good
But now today it feels so bad

Losing
Mama I'm losing
Oh you know I'm losing my mind

I tell ya I want everything mama
For no reason at all
Cause yesterday it felt so good
But today it feels so bad

These streets got me wanderin'
Looking for my fix again
I should have paid the Chinese girl
Now I'm losing everything I have

Yesterday it felt so good
But now it feels so bad

Overall Meaning

The song "An Honest Man" by Fantastic Negrito is about the struggle of addiction and the fallout that comes with it. The singer has fallen back into his old habits and is once again wandering the streets, looking for his next fix. He knows that what he is doing is wrong but he cannot help himself. He is a human being, but first and foremost, he is a man with weaknesses.


The singer seems to be trying to convince himself that he wants everything for no reason, even though he knows that yesterday it felt good, but today it feels bad. He seems to be trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction that he cannot break free from. He is losing everything he has and is alone, empty, and cynical.


The line "I'll rip your heart out with my pretty smile" is particularly powerful, as it portrays how the singer's addiction has turned him into a monster. He is no longer the same person he used to be and his actions are hurting everyone around him.


Overall, "An Honest Man" is a stark and honest portrayal of addiction and the emotional and physical toll it takes on not just the person suffering, but also those around them.
