Divine
GoldLink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something wrong but there's a right
Don't take long, can't wait all night
Something strong, like a hunger
Waiting here for you to come over
Nothing's wrong, but there's a right
I can make your candles light
Something strong, take you over
Can't wait all night
Something strong like a Honda
Waiting here for you to come over
Nothing's wrong, it's alright
I can make your candles light
Something strong, take you over
Make you feel like you ain't been sober
Something divine in you
Something divine in you
There's something divine in you
Something divine in you
Damn, I caught feelings
Damn damn, I caught feelings
She bad as fuck, so appealing
Goddamn, baby, I'm comin'
Over, over, I told ya
Baby baby I need that you know
That will show you for sure that I will
I swear, my baby girl with blonde hair
Put your mother fucking hands in the air
And I don't give a fuck, 'cause I stare
At you, you stare at me
Your smile, you tease
Don't play with me
You're safe with me
I swear, I set the table for two
Ya, set the table for two
It's about me and you
I'm coming home to get you
And all the things that you say
Nasty boy who eat you
And you're mines, and I'm yours
Baby, baby, I need you and us
Something divine in you
Something divine in you
There's something divine in you
Something divine in you
In GoldLink's song Divine, the lyrics describe a strong desire for someone. The singer recognizes something divine in the person while acknowledging that there is also something wrong. However, the sense of right overpowers the wrongness, and he cannot wait all night for the person to come over. He offers to light their candles and take them over, making them feel like they have not been sober. The song then transitions to the singer expressing their feelings for the person. They confess to catching feelings and find them to be incredibly appealing. The singer wants to take things further with this person and set the table for two. The song ends with the repeated acknowledgment of something divine within the person.
The singer's use of the word divine can be interpreted in various ways. It can be suggested that he sees the person as being godlike, or they have characteristics that are beyond human. Alternatively, it could be interpreted that the person is simply very special to him. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is willing to engage in a relationship with this person, and they are excited about what the future may hold.
