The first moment I saw her, I knew the way to heaven's in her bed.
A quiet voice inside me, I didn't pay no mind.
A little taste of the forbidden, so sweet it made me deaf and blind.
I know who to let go, let go
I know who to let go
Caught by a jealous guy, my best friend, I can't deny.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Begging that I'll be forgiven.
I'm not an angry man, I'm just a lonely soul.
If I coulda had a million, for every little hungry heart I stole.
Motherf*cker laid me out, cold as pavement stone.
I guess he must've really love her, left me here now I'm bleeding on my own.
I know who to let go, let go
I know who to let go
Caught by a jealous guy, my best friend, I can't deny.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Caught by a bullet this time, roll my eyes up to the sky.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Begging that I'll be forgiven.
The song "Old Tyme Religion" by HUGO appears to be an exploration of the classic theme of temptation and the consequences that come with succumbing to it. The singer starts by warning the listener of impending trouble and proceeds to tell his own story of succumbing to temptation. He met a woman and felt an intense attraction to her, but he felt a voice inside him telling him to resist, which he ignored. He describes the attraction as "forbidden" and "sweet," which symbolizes the idea that sin is often tempting and alluring before it reveals its destructive consequences.
The next few lines suggest that the singer got involved with this woman despite his reservations and may have cheated on someone close to him in the process, possibly his best friend. He admits to stealing "hungry hearts," which reinforces the idea that he took advantage of people's vulnerabilities to satisfy his own selfish desires. Ultimately, he gets caught and is shot, leaving him bleeding and alone. This tragedy leads him to seek forgiveness, which could be interpreted in different ways. It might mean that he realizes the error of his ways and wants to start over, or it might mean he's begging for mercy and hoping to escape the consequences of his actions.
In conclusion, the song Old Tyme Religion by HUGO is a cautionary tale about the dangers of succumbing to temptation and the consequences that can follow. It emphasizes how people often ignore their better judgment and give in to temptations that ultimately lead to their downfall.
