The Pressure
Moneybrother Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All this time, walking around
Pretending it´s over
And that now, it´s clear to see
Got no need to hold her

I think about her compulsively
My friends asking me
Why, the commotion about her, man

Still contemplating on how this good relationship was leading us nowhere
And unexpectedly, as I tried to make it she said baby don´t bother
If it´s a dream coming through being free, they asking me falteringly
Why, the commotion about her, man

Well it´s been so long and all this time I can feel the pressure
Getting stronger since I can no longer reach out and touch her
You know I´m hangin on
You know I´m not that strong

Since I fell for you
I´m wondering baby, what can a poor man do

Why the commotion about her, man
Why the commotion about her then

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Moneybrother's song "The Pressure" poetically delve into the complex emotions and psychological turmoil of a relationship that has ended, but the singer cannot let go of. The opening lines of "All this time, walking around / Pretending it´s over" convey a sense of denial or perhaps an attempt to move on after a breakup. However, the next line "And that now, it´s clear to see / Got no need to hold her" indicates that this is a facade and that the singer is still struggling to let go emotionally.

The lyrics then reveal that the singer is obsessively thinking about the ex-partner and cannot stop, despite the advice and questioning of their friends. The next section of the song is where the singer reflects on the relationship and how it was going nowhere, yet they were still invested. However, when the singer tries to make things work, the ex-partner rejects them, leaving them distraught and questioning why they cannot move on.

The refrain "Well it´s been so long and all this time I can feel the pressure / Getting stronger since I can no longer reach out and touch her / You know I´m hangin on / You know I´m not that strong" encapsulates the central theme of the song. Despite trying to move on, the singer cannot shake the feelings of longing and nostalgia for what once was. The final line "I´m wondering baby, what can a poor man do / Why the commotion about her, man / Why the commotion about her then" suggests that despite the pain and struggle, the singer cannot help but hold onto these feelings, which have become a source of pressure and desperation.

Line by Line Meaning

All this time, walking around
For a long time, I have been aimlessly living my life

Pretending it´s over
I have been convincing myself that my relationship with my ex-girlfriend is over

And that now, it´s clear to see
I believed that I had moved on and everything was clear now

Got no need to hold her
I didn't feel the need to hold onto her anymore

I think about her compulsively
However, I can't stop thinking about her

My friends asking me
My friends are asking me

Why, the commotion about her, man
They want to know why I'm so bothered about her

Still contemplating on how this good relationship was leading us nowhere
I am still trying to understand how a once-good relationship ended up going nowhere

And unexpectedly, as I tried to make it she said baby don´t bother
Unexpectedly, my attempts to fix things with her were rejected by her

If it´s a dream coming through being free, they asking me falteringly
My friends are asking me, with hesitation, if I really think being free of this relationship is what I want

Well it´s been so long and all this time I can feel the pressure
It has been a long time since we broke up and I can feel the pressure of my unresolved feelings

Getting stronger since I can no longer reach out and touch her
The pressure is getting stronger now that I can no longer reach out to her

You know I´m hangin on
I'm still holding on to my feelings for her

You know I´m not that strong
I'm aware that I'm not strong enough to let go of my feelings for her

Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you

I´m wondering baby, what can a poor man do
I'm struggling with my feelings and I don't know what to do about it

Why the commotion about her, man
My friends still don't understand why I'm so bothered about my ex-girlfriend

Why the commotion about her then
They want to know why I can't just move on from her
