Made
Greg Weeks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A gesture, a wild sashé
Can make your today
And then take it all away
They made us this way
For what they can never say
Sent us on our way
Holding ground
Holding ground
Holding ground
Holding ground
Just live for today
Least that's what they try to say
They said that we'd pick
Then they'll take your pain away
Holding ground
Holding ground
Holding ground
Holding ground
So much for today
So much for the days of men
So much is the son
He'll just make it fade away
Holding ground
Holding ground
Holding ground
Holding ground
The lyrics of Greg Weeks's song, Made in 2-3, resonate with the idea that humans are molded by society's norms, expectations, and culture. The opening lines of the song, "In silence we're swayed, A gesture, a wild sashé, Can make your today, And then take it all away," paint a vivid picture of how a single move can shape our lives or shatter them. The lyrics hint that our fate is determined by the whims of the society we live in, and we are merely passive recipients of its machinations.
The lines, "They made us this way, For what they can never say, Sent us on our way, It's useless to make them pay," further reinforce the notion that humans are conditioned to behave in a certain way, but we don't know why. The lyrics suggest that even those who shape us don't know why they do so. We are left wondering about the futility of trying to hold those who have molded us accountable for our lives.
The repetition of the phrase "Holding ground" throughout the song underlines the idea that we are stuck in a preconceived pattern of behavior. The line, "Just live for today, Least that's what they try to say," reflects the idea that society encourages us to focus on the present and not question the status quo. The lines, "They said that we'd pick, Then they'll take your pain away" hint that society lures us with a promise of choice but ultimately controls our fate.
Overall, the lyrics of Made in 2-3 convey a sense of resignation to the idea that we are merely pawns in society's larger scheme of things. The song hints at the need to break free of the preconceived patterns of behavior and create our path in life.
