Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
Beyond Amends
Gus Dapperton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pure devotion so infested
I only woke to see you've rested and grown to weep
How could you leave me restless and broke?
Lay this heavy stone, my love
You didn't have to grieve like that
Ooh, I know, I know, my loveI didn't want to leave like that
I know those lies show no rest when
Pure evoting falls like a necklace
I only hoped to see you've rested and grown to weep
How could you leave me restless and broke?
Lay this heavy stone, my love
You didn't have to grieve like that
I know, I know, my love
I didn't want to leave like that
Lay this heavy stone, my love
You didn't have to grieve like that
Ooh, I know, I know, my love
I didn't want to leave like that!
The lyrics of "Beyond Amends" by Gus Dapperton express the mixed emotions of a person who has been left by their lover. The first line of the song, "I know those eyes don't attest with pure devotion so infested," suggests that the singer is aware that their ex-partner's eyes did not show pure devotion to them. The next line, "I only woke to see you've rested and grown to weep," reveals the injustice of the situation, as the singer has been left broken-hearted while their ex-partner seems to be doing well. The chorus of the song asserts that the singer did not want to leave like their ex-partner did, and they feel remorse for the way things ended.
The second verse of the song continues to explore the singer's feelings of betrayal and heartbreak. They know that their ex-partner's lies led to their downfall, but they still hope that their ex-partner has grown since then. The chorus is repeated a few times, with the line "Lay this heavy stone, my love" suggesting that the singer is burdened with the weight of the relationship's failure. Overall, the song expresses a complicated range of emotions, including betrayal, grief, and regret.

God has truly blessed this man. His journey from song to song has never disappointed me
@DopestArista
I've been listening to this song on loop for over an hour and it took me that long to finally cry to this song. I'm going through a tiny rough period where I'm questioning my desirability and it's comforting to hear Gus say, "I know, I know, my love"; like he gets it. Thank you for writing this, Gus.
