I Do
Jaz-O & The Immobilarie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
And I do not want what I haven't got
I have learned this from my mother
See how happy she has made me
I will take this road much further
Though I know not where it takes me
I have bread and I have wine
No longer will I be hungry
For the bread of life is mine
I saw a navy blue bird
Flying way above the sea
I walked on and I learned later
That this navy blue bird was me
I returned a paler blue bird
And this is the advice they gave me
You must not try to be too pure
You must fly closer to the sea
So I'm walking through the desert
And I am not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
And I do not want what I haven't got
The lyrics to Jaz-O & The Immobilarie's song "I Do" talk about a journey through the desert with a sense of confidence and contentment. The singer is not afraid of the harsh conditions because they have what they need and they don't desire what they don't have. This attitude is something they learned from their mother who has made them happy. The singer is determined to continue on this path, even though they don't know where it leads.
The singer has provisions for their journey: water, bread, and wine. They use a metaphor of bread and wine as the bread of life to express that they are no longer hungry, metaphorically speaking. The singer also describes a navy blue bird flying above the sea, only to later realize that it was themselves. They returned as a paler blue bird and received advice to not try too hard to be pure and to fly closer to the sea. The song concludes with the singer once again walking through the desert, unafraid and content.
The lyrics of "I Do" create an atmosphere of introspection and self-discovery, as the singer reflects on their journey and explores the lessons they have learned. The sense of contentment and acceptance of what one has is a major theme of the song.
