Trust
Generational Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you making it worse and
Can you take anymore?
People don't say what they're covering up and
Are you staring at a loaded gun?
Are you gonna give you what I'm asking for?
Don't make it last, don't make it great
Carry the weight, carry the wound
Is it everything you want and more?
If you can't see it,
I can tell you that you're living in a weird world and
You're making it up as you go along
Baby, don't you get what I'm asking for?
My friend Olivia said to me
What's the use in trusting more than we have to?

The song "Trust" by Generationals explores the theme of trust and the challenges that come with it. The first verse asks if the listener feels like they're living with a curse and making their situation worse. It questions whether they can handle any more difficulties in their life. The second verse discusses people hiding their true feelings and asks if the listener is staring at a loaded gun, indicating they may be in a dangerous or risky situation. The chorus advises the listener not to break the mold but also not to make their situation last or amplifying any pain. It asks them whether the choice they have taken is worth it all.
The bridge speaks about living in a 'weird world' and making things up as we go along. The repetition of 'I can tell you,' shows that the singer believes they have some knowledge or insight that the listener is lacking, indicating a role of guidance.
The verses and chorus are sung in a melodic and upbeat tone, while the bridge's melody is more subdued, highlighting the song's thought-provoking elements. Overall, the lyrics ask questions that are often difficult to answer, but it encourages the listener to make the best of their situation and not get carried away in the moment.

My friend Olivia once remarked to me
What's the use in trusting more than we have to?
Is there any benefit in having blind faith beyond what's necessary?

Remember the good times.
Mom dropping me off on the side of a hospital 400 miles away from home.
Me getting admitted to the hospital as a temporary care center until they could figure out what to do with me.
4 and a half years of foster families rejecting me until finally the 5th year a family asked for me.
Then getting rejected by the same family and 9 other families.
Ahhh yeah the good elementary school days.

Another thing a generational support trust may do: avoid being surrendered to a divorcing spouse of a beneficiary. Many times family law courts are allowing former spouses to seize inheritances. So a support trust may defeat a family law court because it is not an inheritance that goes straight to the beneficiary but is dealt out upon the beneficiary's needs.

Building generational wealth is hard because other family members may not want to do that (they’ll want to spend) and will take advantage of elderly parents. Then the fighting starts.

Establish a trust that dedicates them to having what they need and a little more but focusing extra on investments that actually pan out that you can see on paper and in results.

The way to solve that is by having an exclusive marriage. You and your partner should be the main deciding source.

Definitely. It’s a shame.
Credo - Flourishing Families
Did you know that only 5% of generational wealth transfers fail due to gift and estate planning? 85% of generational wealth failure is due to lack of trust within the family and your kids not being prepared for the wealth. This stat is the same across the entire world no matter what tax bracket you are in.
