Ask Your Mother
Megosh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello?
Hello!
I know that it's been years
It's fine...
I'm sorry
I'm used to you not being here
I know it's hard to understand
It's okay
It's not, without you I'm half the man
How could you walk away?
I wanted to stay!
You're late
It's hard to explain
You left me
But I was never far away
Where have you been?
I was just a phone call
I've heard them talk
Well, let them

They say I'm to blame
And maybe I am
Make no mistake, love
They'll say anything
Just to keep you away from me
Tonight, let's get one thing straight
I'll never do anything right

Am I just a name,
A face in the frame?
The one that used to hold you
Just to let it go
As years go by
have you ever felt the same,
Do you feel ashamed?
Cause I wouldn't blame you

Right
Anything right
And I never will




I never, I never will
I will!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Megosh's song "Ask Your Mother" depict a heartbreaking conversation between two individuals who haven't been in touch for a long time. The conversation starts off with a sense of longing and sorrow, as the singer expresses their familiarity with the other person's absence in their life. They apologize for being used to their absence but also express the pain it has caused them, emphasizing that they are only half the person they used to be without them.


The dialogue takes a turn when the other person, who is seemingly late, explains that it's hard to elucidate the reasons behind their absence. The singer, still hurt by their departure, mentions that even though they left, they were never really far away, implying that they were still emotionally present. The singer then questions where the other person has been all this time, indicating their desire for a connection and reconciliation.


The lyrics also touch upon the judgment and blame the singer has faced from others. They mention how people have pointed fingers at them, painting them as the villain, and how these external opinions have created barriers that keep the other person away. The singer acknowledges that they may have made mistakes in the past but emphasizes that love has a way of distorting the truth and causing people to say anything to keep them apart. Despite this, they assert that they will never be able to do anything right in the eyes of others.


The conversation concludes with a somber self-reflection. The singer questions their own worth, wondering if they are simply reduced to being a name on a list or a face in a photograph. They acknowledge the pain of letting go and express their curiosity about whether the other person has ever felt the same or experienced any shame about their absence. Finally, the singer asserts their own determination, affirming that they will never be able to do anything right or please others but insisting that they will continue to try regardless.
