Tabula Rasa
Mr. Right Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tabula rasa, blank state of mind
Clarity disparity
With nothing on my mental
Other than this beat I’m burying
The paradiddle humdrum
Of nothing at all
Overthinking is my norm now
I’m bare like the fall’s
End when the passtime
Autumn leaves an empty wind
Ever present in this moment calling that a win
Spring is rollin in
Come & goin again
Never know the bend
Or the break of the bass
Or the pace of the wind flow
Exhale let it go out the window
Inhale
With a steady grace
Something’s been happening to me
Not the man that I used to be - he’s gone
K E M never went this hard in my life
Til I felt real sorrow
It’s all good joy comes in the morrow
Til then be still let ya heart sow
Seams of balance, the light gleams in malice
The night seems to last but it too will surely pass
Over you




And new days dawn soon
Well

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tabula Rasa by Mr. Right speak of a blank slate or state of mind, which is essentially the same thing. The singer acknowledges the clarity of the disparity in his thoughts and how he has no mental clutter. He only has the beat of the song to distract him from his nothingness. The lyrics go on to describe how the singer is humming a paradiddle humdrum with nothing at all on his mind as overthinking has become his norm now. He feels bare like the fall's end when the passtime is over because he is a blank slate, and the only thing that's ever present is the moment he is in. This feeling of emptiness is juxtaposed with the notion of a win, but only because it's a moment he can be present in. Spring starts rolling in, and time keeps moving forward as he exhales and inhales to follow the beat of the song's wind flow with a steady grace.


The singer mentions that something has been happening to him, and he is not the man he used to be, and K E M has never gone this hard in his life but feels real sorrow that makes it all worthwhile. The lyrics also speak about the balance that comes with the light's gleam in malice, and even though the night seems to last, it will pass over him, and new days will dawn soon.

wo´s der rest?
edit:...
Ob Popcenturios in HipHop Studios, was
FK is' furios wie Julio Iglesias
Ich ritt den trojanischen Gaul im Blendwerk der Hölle
Sah die Fäulnis des Biz, blieb im Sattel wie Paul Schockemöhle
Ihr nehmt Rap wie Öde-Pus-sis
Ich mahn' Plattenmultis wie Mullahs Rushdie
Im Jahr 20 nach Guevara brach es aus uns raus wie Lava
Wir nahmen uns Land wie der Sand in der Sahara
Mach' Tabula Rasa wie Kabila in Kinshasa
Mobutu MCs fliegt zum Mars wie die Nasa
Euer erster Gehversuch war 'ne Bruchlandung
Jetzt holt ihr euch ein Reimebuch aus der Buchhandlung
Der Freundeskreis reist und bringt den Virus wie Fernfahrer
Immer wenn es regnet zählen wir Sterntaler

Lasst uns lieber nicht jammern, dass wir so alt sind. Lasst uns froh sein, dass wir das erleben durften

@Eggo1st

Jammern? Ich feier mein Altern. Habe eine andere sicht auf dinge die mir vorher verborgen blieben, Demut, Wertschätzung und Empathie.
Und den Tod begegne ich mit einem lächeln, sofern er mir das gestattet.

@Artihilation1

Genau das was ich grade brauchte, danke dafür! <3
