Too Much
Magic Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a picture in my mind
A photograph that's slowly fading
And now, that all the colors are bleeding out
I'd run away but I don't how, I'd run away but I don't know how
Take my burning heart
But every single day that passes by is making me more dishonest
There's too much I make up, as soon as I wake up
There's too much I make up for me
Well, what is left to say?
What is on your mind?
Never felt so condescending but now
That all the secrets are coming out
I can see what it's all about
I can see that it's all, it's all, it's all around so
Take my burning heart
Just stay the night, and I'll keep my promise
But every single day that passes by is making me more dishonest
There's too much I make up, as soon as I wake up
There's too much I make up for me
Decided to keep you out of all
The lies and see the way you are x3
Take my burning heart
Just stay the night, and I'll keep my promise
But every single day that passes by is making me more dishonest
There's too much I make up, as soon as I wake up
There's too much I make up for me
The lyrics of Magic Man's song "Too Much" are about the difficulties and challenges of living in the moment, dealing with one's own insecurities and shortcomings, and keeping promises. The "painting on the wall" represents life as we perceive it, with all its complexities and uncertainties. However, this painting is also "slowly fading" as "all the colors are bleeding out," which could mean that the singer is losing a sense of control and understanding of their life.
The main character in the song wants to escape from their problems and run away, but they don't know how. They have a "burning heart" and are aware of their dishonesty and tendency to create a false reality. The repetition of "there's too much I make up" hints at self-doubt and the inability to be honest with oneself.
The chorus of the song is a plea to a lover to stay with the singer, despite their flaws and dishonesty. They promise to keep their word, but at the same time, they acknowledge that every passing day makes them more dishonest. The ending of the song suggests that the singer recognizes the importance of being honest with oneself and others, as they decide to keep someone out of all the lies and see them for who they are.
