Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ve got a little something to tell you
You know something different about you
You don't realize it burst you
Speak up, speak up I can't hear you
You need to turn off the volume
I said you batch print too much to
Your world gone crazy
Won′t you please tell me why?
World gone crazy
Won′t you please tell me why?
C'mon, c′mon get a little closer
You've got a little something to tell me
You might swall it up like what want come court
I′m tryin' to help you man oh, can′t you see
Wake up, wake up everybody want me
You like to cover and you can not see
Oh please stop all this crazy thing
This hipocricy this insanity
Hmm-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Your world gone crazy
Won't you please tell me why?
World gone crazy
Won't you please tell me why?
Oooo-oooo
Uuuu-oo-oo-hoo-oo
Oo-hoo-oooo
Uuuu-huu-uu
The song "Minor" by Kaimsasikun is a plea to someone to take off their rose-colored glasses and see the reality around them. The singer urges the listener to get closer and listen to what they have to say. They then point out that there is something different about the listener that they may not be aware of, and this difference is causing them to be blinded to the chaos and madness around them.
The singer implores the listener to speak up and turn off the noise that is distracting them from the truth. They criticize the listener's habit of "batch printing" things, perhaps referring to their tendency to blindly accept information without questioning it. The chorus repeats that the world is in a state of craziness, and the singer begs the listener to explain why this is happening.
The second verse continues the plea for the listener to wake up and see the insanity around them. The singer sings that everyone wants them to wake up, but they are too busy covering up the truth. The bridge repeats the frustration of the singer as they see the listener refusing to see the reality of the world.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call to action for people to take off their blinders and see the world as it is, rather than as they wish it would be. The use of metaphors such as "batch printing" and "covering up" highlight the idea that people often seek comfort and convenient truths rather than facing uncomfortable realities.
