Magenta
Kaleab Samuel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been running from it like my whole damn life
I might
Maybe if they put me in the sky I can fly
I might
No need to worry
No need to call
If you need it you could get it all
Just like that
Just like that
If you need it just
Call me back call me back yeah
Call me back call me back
Call me back back back
Call me back call me back
Call me back back back
Call me crazy you can call me on the line
(On the line)
You can call me anytime I
I'm sick of keeping my mouth close for too long
People keep bringing me down they too wrong
Light shine bright try to match I light twice
Niggas tried to kill me but they never kill my drive
Riding through the burbs residential in your area
Toyota Corolla nigga how you think I'm living up
I just want that Tesla rolling up
(Yo fuck that)
I just wanna be who you looking up
(I need that)
I just want it right this time
I been working through the late night I
8 am to 10 in the pm
Never check a dm
I been working on the grind hoping that you see him
Feeling unreminded
Feeling like I might be on time for that
I might be in for this
I can feel it coming right now
Feel it coming coming right now
I can feel it coming right now
Feel it feel it coming right now I
I'm feeling so high high and I
I might touch the sky and I might I
I can feel it coming right now
I can feel it coming right now
I can feel it coming right now
I can feel it feel it
Right now
I can't explain how I feel
I hate it I just hate it
I hate it
Hm
I just wanna run away from here
I just wanna run away from here




I just wanna go away
Awesome breakdown

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Magenta" by Kaleab Samuel delve into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and striving for success in the face of adversity. The opening lines "I been running from it like my whole damn life, I might" suggest a sense of avoidance or fear that the singer has carried with them for a long time. This could refer to avoiding confrontation, challenges, or difficult emotions that have been haunting them. The imagery of being put in the sky to fly symbolizes a desire for freedom and escape from their struggles, indicating a longing for a better, more elevated existence.


The repetition of "No need to worry, no need to call, if you need it you could get it all, just like that" highlights a sense of self-reliance and independence. The singer seems to be reassuring themselves that they have the capability to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals without the need for external validation or support. This assertion is further emphasized through the repeated refrain of "Call me back, call me back," suggesting a desire for recognition or connection from others, while also recognizing their own worth and agency.


The following lines touch on the singer's frustration with keeping silent and feeling misunderstood or judged by others. The mention of being brought down by people who are "too wrong" implies a sense of resilience and defiance in the face of negativity or obstacles. The references to driving through the suburbs and dreaming of a Tesla mirror a desire for material success and upward mobility, juxtaposed with a yearning for authenticity and recognition for one's true self.


The closing lines of the song convey a mix of emotions, with the singer expressing a sense of impending success and elation ("I'm feeling so high, high, and I might touch the sky") alongside feelings of frustration and yearning to escape ("I just wanna run away from here"). This internal conflict between ambition and disillusionment, hope and despair, adds depth to the lyrics, reflecting the complexities of chasing one's dreams while grappling with personal struggles and uncertainties. In essence, "Magenta" encapsulates a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and determination to rise above challenges and reach for the stars, despite the obstacles along the way.
