Where Have You Been
Mufasa Enzor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like ages and we've all been waiting since
Since the last time you had a notebook and a pen
We want an album and an EP just to jam
Because we are the fans
Don't treat us like Stan
We'll put you right back where you started once again
It doesn't matter if you're happy or you're sad
We want to know what's in your head
Head
Why the greatest feeling makes you scared
Scared
And you know we don't really care
And you know we are unaware
The 20s man it got you switching moods
Thinking about what you really do
At 17 you had a different mood
Now you thinking what job you gone choose
Your friends they got a baby on the way
Your friend he lost his mother yesterday
Your friend he tryna find a place to stay
He got another court case on the way
So he ran away yeah
We toast to that yeah
But we can't hold our liquor no no like we used to
And all we used to is walking in our own shoes
That's why they don't know what you go through
When they ask you
Where have you been all this time
We want to know
Where have you been yeah
Where have you been all this time
We want to know
Where have you been all this time
Where have you been all this time
In the song "Where Have You Been" by Mufasa Enzor, the lyrics express the anticipation and longing of the fans for new music from the artist. The opening lines, "Where have you been, it feels like ages and we've all been waiting since, since the last time you had a notebook and a pen," convey the fans' eagerness for an album or EP to be released. The fans are described as wanting to jam to the artist's music and support them.
The lyrics then confront the idea of being treated like an obsessive fan, or "Stan," referring to the Eminem song. The audience demands the artist's attention by asserting, "We'll put you right back where you started once again." This implies that the fans have the power to support and elevate the artist's career, but also have the ability to diminish it. The lyrics suggest that the fans are not interested in the personal issues or problems the artist may be facing.
The next set of lyrics delves into the artist's inner thoughts and emotions. The line "We want to know what's in your head" expresses the fans' desire for the artist to open up and share their thoughts and feelings through their music. The mention of the "greatest feeling" that makes the artist scared suggests that even though the artist may achieve success, they still struggle with apprehension and fear. The fans, however, are portrayed as being indifferent or ignorant to these emotions, indicated by the repetition of "you know we don't really care, and you know we are unaware."
The song then shifts to addressing the artist's life in their twenties and the various challenges they and their friends face. The lyrics touch upon the artist contemplating their future career choices, as well as the struggles their friends experience, such as having a baby on the way, losing a loved one, and dealing with legal troubles. The line "So he ran away yeah, we toast to that yeah" implies a sense of escapism and the desire to celebrate or find relief amidst difficulties. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the inability to handle alcohol as well as before.
Overall, "Where Have You Been" captures the fans' eagerness for new music, their desire for the artist to open up through their lyrics, and acknowledges the personal challenges the artist and their friends may be facing. It explores the idea that while the fans may not understand or be aware of the artist's struggles, they still expect the artist to deliver their art and entertain them.
