Heath Brandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I looked up at the building, thought i saw a star
Something was manifesting, I knew I had to start
I realize I just been living, but I haven't gone very far
Made my way back to the city, throw my hands above my head
And I look into the past, and I say I'd be better off dead
With a recycled teenaged love I look to above
What do you want me to do I've done everything that i'm supposed to do
I'm on my knees again
Just slap me in the face, I'll run and feel the pop
Just slap me in the face, I'll run and feel the pop
What am I supposed to do, I thought I'd ask you
Nobody said it was easy for me
Nobody said it takes this long
I'm a mix of a sinner reborn and that of a lover scorn
That's the way I must be
I could leave this place tomorrow, but would it leave me?
Would I cry?
Baby would I be happy?
Come on...
Lord, don't let me down
I'm just looking for a little love
Come on..
Lord, don't let me down
Cause I'm running out of room.
And I said...
What do you want me do, i've done....
I'm on my knees again
Just slap me in the face, I'll run and feel the pop
Just slap me in the face, I'll run and feel the pop
What am I supposed to do, I thought I'd ask you
Come on...
Lord, don't let me down
I'm just looking for a little love
Lord, don't let me down
Cause I'm running out of room
The lyrics to Heath Brandon's song Ask expresses feelings of confusion and helplessness regarding the direction of the singer's life. The singer starts by describing a moment of clarity while walking by the river and seeing a star, signifying that something was manifesting and he had to start. However, the singer realizes that although he has been living, he hasn't gone very far. He then returns to the city, looks into the past and says he would be better off dead. With a recycled teenage love, he asks what he should do since he has done everything he is supposed to do but still feels lost. The singer goes on to describe himself as a mix of a sinner reborn and that of a lover scorned, expressing his internal conflict.
The chorus of the song is a desperate plea for guidance, as the singer asks to be slapped in the face to feel a pop and receive some clarity. He repeats the question, asking what he is supposed to do and looks for answers through prayer, asking the Lord to show him love and not let him down. The singer concludes the song with the realization that he is running out of room and needs to find a way forward.
Overall, this song seems to be a cry for help from someone feeling lost and confused in their life. The singer portrays himself as having done everything he's supposed to but still feeling unfulfilled and seeks guidance from a higher power.
