P.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or you have no reason to feel secure
'Cause this world, it waits for no one
So don't you fool yourself
Get out of this imaginary place you call
Reality, it's so deceiving
(Condescending)
You're so condescending (unforgiving)
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
So tell me once again
How easy it would be if we'd listened
But to you, you're just paying attention
So what's the point in you
Showing us your way if we don't even care
To be 'round you, or even know you?
(Condescending)
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending (unforgiving)
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
(Condescending)
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending (unforgiving)
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
I can't, I can't do what you say
I can't, I can't do it your way
I can't, I can't do what you say
I can't, I can't do it your way
I can't, I can't do what you say
I can't, I can't do it your way
I can't, I can't do what you say
I can't, I can't do it your way
I can't, I can't do what you say
I can't, I can't do it your way
(Condescending)
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending (unforgiving)
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
(Condescending)
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending (unforgiving)
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
You're patronizing
And overbearing
And you're so unbending
You don't understand me
You don't understand me
The lyrics to "Condescending" by P.O.D. talk about a person who is trying to force their way onto others and imposes their views on others. They suggest that this person thinks they know it all and tries to control others by being patronizing, overbearing, and unforgiving. The song indicates that this person is living in an imaginary world that they deem as reality, and pretends that they are paying attention when in reality they do not care about what others are saying.
The lyrics are a criticism of people who are condescending towards others when things do not go the way they want. It also highlights their unforgiving nature when they do not get their way. This song points out that in such scenarios, no one wins because controlling others and disregarding their opinions will only create further conflict. In conclusion, "Condescending" urges us to step away from condescension and instead choose to live and work alongside one another with respect, understanding, and forgiveness.

SAGEMENT
And this is not pretend
Et ceci n'est pas une prétention
And you have no reason to feel secure
Et tu n'as aucune raison de te sentir en sécurité
'Cause this world, It waits for no one
Car ce monde, ce monde n'attend rien de personne
So don't you fool yourself
Alors n'abuse pas de toi-même
Get out of this imaginary place you call reality
Sors-toi de ton monde imaginaire, celui que tu considères comme la réalité
It's so deceiving
C'est tellement décevant
CHORUS :
REFRAIN :
Condescending
Condescendant
You don't get it your way.
Tu ne vis pas par tes propres moyens
You're so Condescending.
Tu es si dédaigneux
We don't do what you say.
Nous n'agissons pas selon tes paroles
You're so unforgiving.
Tu es si intolérant
So tell me once again
Alors dis-moi encore une fois
How easy it would be if we'd listened to you
Comme ça serait simple si seulement nous t'écoutions
And just paid attention
Et juste prêter attention
So what's the point in you
Alors qu'est-ce qui, en toi,
Showing us the way if we don't even care
Nous montre le chemin, si ce n'est pas notre but
Around you or even know you
D'être avec toi, ou même de te connaître
CHORUS 2x
REFRAIN 2x
Who's that ?
Qui c'est ?
Who's that ?
Qui c'est ?
Who's that ?
Qui c'est ?
I won't do what you say
Je ne ferai pas ce que tu dis
I can't do it your way
Je ne peux pas le faire comme toi
I won't do what you say
Je ne ferai pas ce que tu dis
I can't do it your way
Je ne peux pas le faire comme toi
CHORUS 2x
REFRAIN 2x
You're patronizing
Tu es abaissant
You're overbearing
Tu es arrogant
And you're so unbending
Et tu es si intransigeant
Who won't do it your way
Qui ne va donc pas faire comme toi ?
I won't do what you say
Je ne ferai pas ce que tu dis
I can't do it your way
Je ne peux pas être comme toi
I won't do what you say
Je ne peux pas faire ce que tu dis
You don't understand me
Tu ne me comprends pas
I won't do it your way
Je ne serais pas comme toi
