Lagoon
J.A.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They telling you to steal and it’s coming from a thief
They wanted me to leave in a world to call my own
I was following a path leading right into the zone
I quit the nonsense and playing on my phone
I think it’s best if I took some time alone
At second hand, I was tryna understand
As a man I was walking in the sand
As i came to realise, I defeat it
I was hiding in disguise, but i need it
Told you I would try, don’t believe it
And yeah you gotta see it
I never thought the life I’m living to feel alone
I waited but people hating on things they didn’t know
And every step that I'm taking im losing sight of the road
I never could ever try to be clever just on my own
Cuz im basic, faded
Hate it when my life is complicated, say it
We just staying friends, I should’ve waited, fake it
It happens every time I can’t change it, don't even try to blame this
My job was pretty crazy not actually but it pays me
In ways turned to my favor, with flavor I'm not in danger
A stranger the park ranger is telling me what to do (What to do)
Climb a mountain tryna smash a girl or two (Girl or two)
I sold them shoes the only option I can choose
I can chose, I wanna win cuz i don’t know what else to do (Else to do)
I'm tryna get my shit together like it’s glue
But you knew, I'm just trynna talk to you
Went out into the city, the homies we looking pretty
Next day we feeling shitty, Sophia showed us a titty
Yo Nathalie came too
She hooking up with the homie W
And he took her to his room
A nice memory
With them crystals they be flowing like energy
Bring me close to destiny
From outer space
Man, I hate what it does to your face
It’s like I'm stuck in my mind it’s a maze
I couldn’t lie if I tried anyways, on the grind everyday
We could’t lie, It's do or die
We on the grind every day
On the grind every day
On the grind every day
On the grind every day
In J.A.K's song Lagoon, he reflects on the pressures and illusions that society presents. He questions the dreams that were sold to him and the legitimacy of the advice given by people who appear to be the very thieves they caution against. Initially, he followed a particular path that led him into the "zone," but found it unfitting and chose to take some time alone. He addresses the misconception that he can control everything and admits that he was hiding behind a facade of trying to fit in but now embraces his unique qualities.
J.A.K also speaks on the challenges of finding oneself, admitting to being lost and not knowing where to go. He watches as every step he takes seems to push him further away from his destination. In an aim to find a way out of his confusion, he tries to become "clever" but faces rejection and resentment from people who do not understand him. Despite this, he remains on the grind every day and tries to stay positive.
Lagoon is a poignant commentary on the hurdles people face when trying to fit into society's boxes. It is about grappling with the illusions and the paths that do not align with one's desires, while still trying to discover a way to remain true to oneself. The song expresses unfamiliarity with life and the uphill battles that come with self-discovery.
