Trust Your Stomach
Marching Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that
It wants what's best for us
I know what's best for us
Your stomach and all of us
Then you want to go back
And then you want to stay sad
And then you want to go back
And then you want to stay sad
And then you want to go back
And then you know what you had
And then you know what you had
And then you know what you had
And then you know what you had
And then you know what you had
And then you want to go back
Most people like you
Well, they don't dislike you
Do you know what she's looking for
Most people like you
Well, they don't dislike you
You have seen all of this before
I know that you can trust your stomach
I know that
It wants what's best for us
I know what's best for us
Your stomach and all of us
I know you can trust your stomach
I know that
Then you want to go back
And then you want to stay sad
And then you want to go back
And then you know what you had
And then you know what you had
And then you want to go back
I know that you can trust your stomach
I know that
It wants what's best for us
I know what's best for us
Your stomach and all of us
It wants what's best for us
I know what's best for us
Your stomach and all of us
I know that you can trust your stomach
I know that
Say what you need
Say what you need
Say what you need
Say what you need
(I know that)
Say what you need
Say what you need
(Your stomach)
Say what you need
Say what you need
(I know that)
In the song Trust Your Stomach, Marching Band encourages its listeners to trust their intuition and instincts, just like they can trust their stomach. The stomach is often referred to as "the second brain" because it produces hormones that influence emotions and mood, which in turn can impact decision-making. Therefore, the lyrics suggest that we should listen to our gut feeling and follow what it tells us, as it knows what's best for us.
The repetition of the phrases "And then you want to go back" and "And then you know what you had" exemplifies the internal conflict we often experience when making a decision. We tend to reminisce about the past and consider the consequences of our choices. The lyrics also acknowledge the social component of decision-making, implying that we should not be influenced by the opinions of others, and instead listen to ourselves.
Overall, Trust Your Stomach is a reminder to trust ourselves and our instincts. We should not be hesitant to make choices that align with our inner voice. It's a song that encourages us to recognize the power of our gut feeling and to act on it.
