Like the Gap
Prolific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her face that cracks, to smooth the time and just erase the past,
Faded slacks, clothes that thin, are just to hold her in,
To hide her aging open skin right below the chin,
Smoking's a social thing, she's vain but not,
Her face was soft, those days are lost,
When lovers spread her legs across the table cloth,
Taking shots of nameless scotch, she'd make it rock until the neighbors knocked,
But in her middle age, it's just simple days,
Kitchen dishes wishing she wasn't in this bitter state,
But you can see she's beautiful, I know her eyes are sexy,
Looking at the younger girls with a glance of silent envy,
Sipping on a diet pepsi, living inside a memory,
She's quiet but in her eyes she's screaming won't you try to help me,
She'd like to fight it but this night her eyes are heavy… and..
Thinking "I've lost everything…… my life is empty"
Chorus X 2
Like the gap between you and me,
Just like the gap
Sitting in my corner, I sat alone watched her move,
Caught her eyes and solemn cries and then I saw her in her youth,
I got up quick paused and walked cross the room,
And said "Eyo, I'd like to talk to you"
She smiled at me softly, like we'd just woken up in bed,
She spoke of love and sex, open cuts, regrets,
She was broken up , depressed yet in her hair the rose was red,
I sat and listen to her speak, and I'll quote just what she said,
She said: "I was loved once, I wasn't always cold and hard,
I used to lie smoking cigarettes under open stars,
I used to walk through the streets and everyone would turn and look,
I used to dance topless with rebels around burning books,
I used to own the night, kissing lovers in the mist,
Oh what the men wouldn't do to touch my upper lip,
I used to stand in the fields, - with wind in my long hair,
I used to do whatever I wanted, I used to not care…"
Chorus X 2
Finally she turned to me and laughed, then she paused and stopped a moment,
And I could tell she was back where she used to be her heart was open,
And not a thought was spoken and not a thought was uttered
But at that moment I swear to God I loved her,
So I held her close, and felt the warmth many had felt before,
Her heart beating against mine like waves against the shore,
She was a beauty queen, a metaphor,
I looked in her eyes, and I asked her to tell me more….
I used to not... care.
The song "Like the Gap" by Prolific is a poignant reflection on the struggles of a woman as she ages and reminisces about her past. The first verse describes the physical changes that come with aging, highlighting how the woman uses makeup and clothes to cover up her wrinkles and hold in her sagging skin. The verse also alludes to the woman's past sexual experiences, describing how she used to be wild and carefree, but now she spends her days quietly crying over kitchen dishes. Despite her struggles, the song underscores the woman's beauty and the silent screams in her eyes, as she longs for someone to help her.
The second verse continues the narrative from a different perspective. The singer, watching the woman from a corner, sees her as she used to be during her youth. He approaches her and they engage in a conversation where she shares her past experiences with love, sex, and rebellion. She talks about her days of careless freedom, where she used to smoke cigarettes under open stars, walk through the streets turning heads, and dance with rebels. Throughout the conversation, the singer realizes how different the woman is now compared to how she used to be.
At the climax of the song, the woman opens up to the singer, laughing and recounting her past experiences. The singer holds her as she reminisces about her glory days. The song ends on an open note, with the singer asking the woman to tell him more.
Overall, "Like The Gap" is a sorrowful yet beautiful tribute to a woman dealing with the realities of aging and her past. It reflects on how the memories of past joys and experiences can fill a person with a sense of despair, while retaining the inner beauty that they always possessed.
