Clean
M.M. & M.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought the pain of defeat would last forever
But now I don't what it would take to make my heart back down
'Cause I only have to wait a little while
Before I get my
Clean slate
Who knows could be another lifetime
Everything we gave away returns like a seed from a fugitive tree
And you only have to wait a little while
Before you
Find the truth
And I only had to wait a little while
Yeah, I only had to wait a little while
Yeah, I only had to wait a little while
Before I got my
Clean slate
The lyrics to M.M. & M.N.'s song Clean paint a picture of hope and redemption. The opening lines describe how the singer used to believe that defeat and pain would last forever, but now he has discovered that a clean slate is always within reach. The song suggests that no matter what mistakes or failures we make in life, we can always start anew and leave the past behind. The second verse expands on this idea by suggesting that everything we give away will eventually come back to us - like the seeds of a fugitive tree that find their way back to the source. This is a powerful metaphor for the idea that our actions have consequences, and that if we are patient and wait for the right time, we can see the fruits of our labor.
The chorus reinforces this idea of waiting and watching for the right moment to arrive. The singer sings that he only had to wait a little while before he got his clean slate, and that the truth will be revealed in time. This gives the listener a sense of optimism and hope that even when things seem bleak or hopeless, there is always the possibility of redemption and renewal.
Overall, the lyrics to Clean are a reminder that no matter what we may have done in our past, we always have the power to change our future. By waiting patiently and trusting in the process of life, we can overcome our mistakes and start anew.
