Understand
Jordan Frescher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lower than low
Family round me still got no place to go
No place to
Lay my head
Who gone end piece When you low on bread
Needing to talk and its no one there
Real shit
Thats when goals gets defeated
You struggle to find the true meaning
Bed that I made it's no posturepedic
Worse than that
Were actions repeated
I needed changes so radical
Moved to DC needed capital
Now three years later shit is magical
Learn to hustle I'm a natural
That's when life'll give it back to you
That's When some will turn they back to you
I'm just giving all facts to go you
Money gon' come
Happiness you gotta make for yourself
Partying Is cool But i know it don't help
Anything bruised is probably gone welp
You can't hide it what I'm saying
Could be happy you but you playing
Money solves it is what we said
It'll all get better is what I'm praying
I Understand
We ain't had much
Now we got it and its never enough
I understand
Just need to smile
I been chasing what I need for a while
I understand
You gotta live in moment...
People tear down if you flaunt it
I understand
I thought success would be sweet
Til that shit happened to me
I understand
The lyrics to Jordan Frescher's song "Understand" explore themes of struggle, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness. The song begins with the artist expressing a deep sense of despair and feeling "lower than low." Despite having family around, he still feels homeless and without direction. The line "No place to lay my head, who gon' end peace when you low on bread" suggests a lack of stability and support in times of need.
The lyrics then delve into the hardships faced when there is no one to talk to and life feels overwhelming. The artist reflects on how these moments of defeat can cause one to question the true meaning of their goals. The line "That's when goals get defeated" highlights the impact of personal struggles on one's ability to achieve their dreams. The reference to the bed being "no posturepedic" signifies a metaphorical discomfort and dissatisfaction with the choices made.
However, the song takes a turn towards the positive as the artist shares his journey of finding radical changes and moving to Washington, D.C. This move leads to a transformative experience, where in just three years, his life becomes magical. The lyrics emphasize the importance of hustle and the ability to adapt as necessary.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that money alone cannot bring happiness. The artist acknowledges that partying may be enjoyable in the moment, but it does not provide true fulfillment. The line "Anything bruised is probably gone welp" suggests that superficial pleasures or distractions cannot heal deep wounds.
The song also touches on the concept of success and how it can bring unexpected challenges. The artist suggests that success might not be as sweet or satisfying as anticipated, conveying a sense of disappointment. Through these experiences, the artist ultimately comes to understand the need to live in the present moment and not to be defined or torn down by others' judgments.
Overall, "Understand" is a reflection on the highs and lows of life, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of resilience and self-discovery.
