Satisfaction
K.R.A.V.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t see it I can’t believe
These distractions, social schemes
I keep going for more than me
I was told I’d be satisfied
If I lived this life with love to bring
Happiness ain’t worth a thing
Less it’s with my family
Audemar faces plain
All the watches tick the same
Blaśe, Blaśe is he real
Blaśe, Blaśe does he feel satisfaction
(Satisfaction)
Blaśe does he feel
Blaśe, Blaśe is he filled with distractions
(With distractions)
Satisfaction is guaranteed
I don’t see it I can’t believe
These distractions, social schemes
I keep going for more than me
Yea, this legacy I’m working on and energy I’m bringing turn it on
I’m never happy, knowledge thirsty, wanting more and more I need it all Oh
This road it only leads to deep ends
Picking up the walls for defense
Tryna keep my eyes from weeping
Dissatisfied it creeping
Wanna find my way from here
Lost at sea with all my fears
Satisfaction is guaranteed
I don’t see it I can’t believe
These distractions, social schemes
I keep going for more than me
