What Can I Do
Mario Winans - What Can I Do (Prod. By The Runners) (2008) [www.RnB4U.in] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s not the same and it feels different
Different from before, distant from it all
I can’t do this anymore
Tonight, test my luck
Fly with the stars
Light a cigarette, I can’t feel my chest
Late night again, sat on the bottom step
I need to sober up before I throw up
I keep taking it too far
(Way too far)
And I can’t see where you are
(Where you are)
I don’t even know, yeah
Where I need to go, yeah
I can’t even talk, no
The words are clawing at my throat
I’m all alone in a crowded room
My best friends are strangers to
I keep taking it too far
(Way too far)
And I can’t see where you are
(Where you are)
I found it where I left it
It’s not the same and it feels different
Different from before, distant from it all
I can’t do this anymore
I found it where I left it
It’s not the same and it feels different
Different from before, distant from it all
I can’t do this anymore
I found it where I left it
I found it where I left it
These lyrics seem to depict a sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with a current situation or relationship. The repetition of the line "I found it where I left it" suggests that the singer has returned to a familiar place or situation, but things have changed and don't feel the same anymore. There is a feeling of distance and detachment from what once was.
The lyrics also express the singer's desire to escape from their current state. They mention testing their luck, flying with the stars, and feeling disconnected from their own body ("I can't feel my chest"). This suggests a longing for something more, a need to break free from their current circumstances.
The line "Late night again, sat on the bottom step" could symbolize the feeling of being stuck or at a low point, both physically and emotionally. The reference to needing to sober up before throwing up implies that the singer has been engaging in self-destructive behavior and needs to regain control.
The chorus repeats the message of feeling lost and unsure of where to go. The words are described as "clawing at my throat," indicating a struggle to express oneself or communicate effectively. The mention of being alone in a crowded room and considering best friends as strangers highlights a sense of isolation and disconnection from others.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of frustration, longing, and the recognition that the current situation or relationship is no longer sustainable. The singer is searching for answers and struggling to find their way forward.
