LBC 97.3 - Iain Lee - Barry from Watford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother
Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for the Mother
Mother fountain
Or live or not at all
The most level
Sunken chapel
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother
All's there to love
Only love
The lyrics to Barry from Watford's song 46 are enigmatic and open to interpretation. At first glance, the lines, "You're not my eater, I'm not your food," suggest a rejection of a cannibalistic relationship or a parasitic bond. The next two lines, "Love you for God, love you for the Mother," evoke a sense of unconditional love and devotion that is rooted in spiritual beliefs.
The next stanza is even more elusive: "Eat me in the space within my heart, love you for God, love you for the Mother." It could be interpreted as an invitation to consume the singer's essence or soul, but it could also be seen as a metaphorical statement about sharing one's innermost self with another person.
The final stanza brings images of a sacred place, a sunken chapel and a fountain dedicated to the Mother. The line "all's there to love, only love" reinforces the idea that love can transcend all boundaries, including those of space and time.
Overall, the song offers an intriguing blend of religiosity and sensuality, with a hint of mysticism and humor that are hallmarks of Barry From Watford's style.
