Sad Story
Merk & Kremont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost his mum to a drug named Heroin
Father's gone, so grandma's left with everything
Two grandkids and a daughter's coffin
I never really knew him when he was growing up
But I assumed that it was a little fucked
No parents for him to look up to
Just a brother whom I knew was a dodgy fuck
Tried too hard to fit
And never grow out of it
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
Never left his home town
That's what probably did it
Never saw the other worlds
That he didn't want to go and get it
Occupied by fitting in where minds
A small west, small things
Make the small things feel so tall
Will he ever change?
Well apparently
He reapplied for college and was waiting for his grades
It wouldn't help his case
Oh, I couldn't ever say
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
But wait my life's out, a night out
Brothers in town, some doubt, a few fights
Now kicked out clubs, shit the suns up
One look's all it took for his girl to cuss at another
Dudes being dudes
They blow at the chest to impress these breasts
That'd just started this mess
They must protect the damsel in distress
So other girl's man decides to clench his fists
And then he threw and missed
Brother's hit, as did his
Dropped him quick, then one kick to the head
Oh shit other man is dead
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
And now he's locked away
Twenty-one years of age
How many lives must go to waste?
As far as graves
Until I see some fucking change
And I don't even know how
We continue to
Fight one another now
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
Now he don't talk too much, talk too much
He's probably given up, given up
I think he's had enough, had enough
'Cause he ran out of luck, out of luck
The lyrics of Merk & Kremont's song "Sad Story" narrate the tragic life of a man who has lost his mother to heroin addiction, his father has gone missing, and his sister has died, leaving him and his brother in the care of their grandmother. The song describes how the man's past has affected him and how he has become withdrawn, given up, and possibly suffered enough. The song delves into the idea of how lack of familial support, addiction and a life of monotony can lead to feelings of hopelessness and a lack of ambition.
The song suggests that the man's upbringing was rough, with no parent to look up to and only a tumultuous relationship with his brother. The singer explains that the man "never left his hometown," which probably contributed to his lack of exposure to other places, ideas and opportunities. The lyrics point out the man's attempt at normalcy by applying to college, which could have been a turning point, but leave it open and unclear if it would have helped. The song then takes a sudden and unexpected turn, describing an altercation that leaves a man dead, and the singer of the song incarcerated at 21 years old.
Overall, "Sad Story" brings attention to the importance of empathy, recognition, and support for those who have suffered traumatic experiences, and the impact it can have on their lives.
