Just My Imagination
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not to eleven eleven
I was the first mistake
To make it up out the heavens
And iβm being told that
I have came from the heavens
I ainβt buying that shit
Canβt even trust my parents
I do not trust nobody
Isolate from them bodies
They just gone stab them probably
Ever since, β17, all yβall been acting funny
Maybe cause itβs more clear that imma be making money
But i canβt trust the money
I cannot trust no honey
Honeys are overrated
Imma just die a mummy
Laid up in a casket
All up by itself
If i died right now, iβll probably go to hell
Its not that hard to tell
To see how much i fell
From when i was a kid
Trying to reach the shelf
To now, as a teen
Iβm trying to reach myself
Determined on this path imma bleed by myself
Imma sneeze by myself
I donβt need your blessings
Unless you are God you self
Getting hard ? then walk away just like everyone else
I am lost in the forest full of all The sins i did
I canβt get out iβm stuck in this forest
I am nothing
Iβm lost in this forest full of sins that i did
I canβt get out this forest
Iβm stuck
Man iβm nothing
Iβm lost
In this forest
Full of all the
Sins that i did
I canβt
Get out
Iβm stuck in this for-rest iβm nothing
Iβm lost in the forest
Full of the sins that i did
I canβt get out this forest
Iβm stuck
Man iβm nothing
Iβm lost
In this forest
Full of the sins i did
I canβt get out this forest
Iβm stuck, man iβm nothing
Iβm lost in the forest
Full of the sins i did
Idk this shit confusing as fuck lol idk what i was going off about lmaoo
The lyrics of this song seem to express deep feelings of loneliness, mistrust, and confusion. The singer appears to be struggling with a sense of detachment and disconnection from other people and even from themselves. They express that they were born as a mistake, and they feel like they cannot trust anyone, including their parents. The theme of mistrust is repeated throughout the song, as they isolate themselves from others, feeling like they might be stabbed in the back. The singer expresses a sense of hopelessness, feeling like they are lost in a forest of all the sins they have committed and they cannot find their way out. They also appear to be wrestling with the idea of success and money, feeling like they cannot trust them either.

Not to eleven eleven
But not at the auspicious time of 11:11
I was the first mistake
I was the first child, but perhaps seen as a mistake
To make it up out the heavens
To come to Earth from the realm above
And iβm being told that
I've been told that
I have came from the heavens
I originated from above
I ainβt buying that shit
But I don't believe that
Canβt even trust my parents
Can't even trust my own family
Canβt even trust nobody
Can't trust anyone at all
Isolate from them bodies
Stay away from other people
They just gone stab them probably
They'll likely betray or harm you
Ever since, β17, all yβall been acting funny
Since 2017, everyone's behavior has seemed strange
Maybe cause itβs more clear that imma be making money
Perhaps because it's become clear that I'll be financially successful
But i canβt trust the money
But I can't trust money itself
I cannot trust no honey
I can't trust anyone who tries to woo me
Honeys are overrated
Romantic relationships are not worth it
Imma just die a mummy
I'll just live a solitary life and be buried as a mummy
Laid up in a casket
Buried in a coffin
All up by itself
Completely alone
If i died right now, iβll probably go to hell
If I were to die at this moment, I might end up in hell
Its not that hard to tell
It's not difficult to see
To see how much i fell
To see how much I've declined
From when i was a kid
Compared to my childhood
Trying to reach the shelf
When I was trying to reach things on high shelves
To now, as a teen
To now, as a teenager
Iβm trying to reach myself
Trying to figure out my own identity
Determined on this path imma bleed by myself
Resolute in walking this path alone and enduring hardship
Imma sneeze by myself
I'll even sneeze alone
I donβt need your blessings
I don't require anyone's approval
Unless you are God you self
Unless you yourself are God
Getting hard ? then walk away just like everyone else
If things get tough, people will abandon you like they have for others
I am lost in the forest full of all The sins i did
I'm wandering without direction, burdened by my past misdeeds
I canβt get out iβm stuck in this forest
I can't escape this struggle and confusion
I am nothing
I am insignificant and worthless
Iβm lost in this forest full of sins that i did
I'm weighed down by the guilt and consequences of my mistakes
Man iβm nothing
Truly, I'm nothing
Iβm lost in this forest
I'm lost and without direction
Full of all the
Overwhelmed by
Sins that i did
My own past transgressions
Iβm stuck in this for-rest iβm nothing
I'm trapped in this struggle and am worthless
Iβm lost in the forest
I'm aimlessly wandering
Full of the sins that i did
Faced with the consequences of my actions
I canβt get out this forest
I can't escape this struggle
Iβm stuck, man iβm nothing
I'm trapped and worthless
Iβm lost in the forest
I'm directionless and aimless
Full of the sins i did
Weighed down by the repercussions of my own transgressions
I canβt get out this forest
I can't break free from this struggle
Iβm stuck, man iβm nothing
I'm imprisoned in this predicament and am worthless
Iβm lost in the forest
I'm disoriented and unable to find my way
Full of the sins i did
Hindered by my own wrongdoing
Idk this shit confusing as fuck lol idk what i was going off about lmaoo
I'm not sure what I was trying to express, this is all pretty confusing to me, lol (laughing my ass off)

How did anyone talk through any of this? I would have at least been stunned and for sure moved to tears. Gorgeous.

He connected the guitar to his heart. So emotional
@plym1969
Prince is the most emotional guitarist I've ever heard. He's the best ever isn't he?
@icu1905
Will NEVER B ANOTHER! π
@stesteve3975
Could he be created or is he the creator? He blitzed Wembley arena in 86β and yes I was there, I will never forget it, it was the greatest show on earth for me, what a blessing to have lived in the same era,
@Musicology1975
Unique guitar player. It's not a guitar it's a heart with strings.π
@ozziewarrens8804
Yes, Prince could sing anything and it would be vibrationally Perfect.
@johnpetrou6
I was at this after show. The palace on Hollywood and vine goosebumpsπ
@kevinkozkoz4348
No doubt, this man loved to play and in my mind the best to ever do it! Who else played guitar, synthesizers, piano, bass, drums and many more! This man's music catalog is out of this world, so many songs! Good Gwaad!

The most underrated guitarist ever πβοΈβοΈ Elton John said they don't come around often. Prince was special π
