Poor Boy
Lords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't speak "I'll go"
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say.
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle have fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day.
Poor boy you must know
Poor boy life is so hard to go
Poor boy
Poor boy you must say
Life is very hard to stay
When I was born you know
I couldn't speak "I'll go"
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say.
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle have fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day
Life is so hard each day
Life is so hard each day.
The song "Poor Boy" by Lord is a melancholic anthem depicting the hardships that one has to face in life. The first line of the song "When I was born you know, I couldn't speak 'I'll go'" alludes to the fact that from the very beginning, the singer of the song, the poor boy, is unable to voice his opinions and feelings. As the song progresses, it becomes evident that the poor boy's mother was his only source of guidance and support. She taught him to say "Mother and father and son, Sister and uncle have fun" which carries a sad undertone since it highlights the separation the poor boy feels from his own family.
The repeated refrain of the song "Poor boy you must know, Poor boy life is so hard to go, Poor boy, Poor boy you must say, Life is very hard to stay" further accentuates the sense of desolation and despair that the song aims to convey. The poor boy is acutely aware of his position in life and understands that he has to keep enduring the hardships that come his way. The last few lines of the song reinforce this theme - "Life is so hard each day, Life is so hard each day, Life is so hard each day."
Overall, the song "Poor Boy" by Lord is a poignant tribute to those who have to navigate through life's difficulties without much support. It's a reminder that there are many who have to face the hardships so bravely that they become a part of their daily lives.
