Carry Go Bring Come
Justin Hinds & The Dominoes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This carry go bring come, my dear, brings misery
You're going from home to home making disturbances
It's time you stopped doing those things, you old Jezebel
The meek shall inherit this earth, you old Jezebel
It needs no light to see you're making disturbances
Instead of keeping oppression upon innocent man
Time will tell on you, you old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over my people?
It's better to seek a home in Mount Zion high
Instead of keeping oppression upon innocent man
Time will tell on you, you old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over my people?
How long shall the wicked reign over my people?
The song "Carry Go Bring Come" by Justin Hinds is a powerful condemnation of the disruptive and oppressive behaviors of a particular woman, referred to as an "old Jezebel." The repetition of the phrase "carry go bring come" emphasizes the cyclical nature of the woman's behavior, which brings only misery and unrest to those around her.
The lyrics suggest that the woman moves from home to home, causing disturbances and oppression wherever she goes. Hinds urges her to stop this behavior and seek a home in "Mount Zion high," a reference to the metaphorical spiritual paradise that is promised to believers in Rastafarianism. Hinds reminds her that "the meek shall inherit this earth," suggesting that her wicked ways will ultimately lead to her downfall.
At the same time, Hinds highlights the injustice of the woman's behavior, noting that she is imposing oppression on innocent people. He questions how long the wicked will be allowed to reign over his people, suggesting that their time is running out.
Overall, the song carries a deeply moral message about the consequences of immoral and oppressive behavior. It encourages listeners to resist such behavior and seek a life of righteousness and justice.
