What U get is what U see
Rabia Sorda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forget it 'cause it breaks
You ask yourself what went wrong
When we decided to jump off
Forget what you saw
All those flashes drove us blind
You can't get them off your mind
We let them taste what they'll never have
Forget the place
Forget the time
What you get is what you see
I'm trying to say I don't care
What's your perversion?
Forget the sweetest days
Forget it 'cause it breaks
How long will you be a star?
Waiting for the show to start
What you get is what you see
Forget the place
Forget the time
What you get is what you see
I'm trying to say I don't care
What's your perversion
The lyrics to Rabia Sorda's song "What U get is what U see" speak about forgetting things that have caused pain or disappointment in the past. The song encourages the listener to let go of their sweetest dreams and forget what they know and have seen because those things may have led them astray in the past. The line "All those flashes drove us blind" is powerful because it speaks to the idea that societal norms and expectations can often blind people from seeing things for what they truly are. The lyrics also touch on the idea of not caring about other people's opinions or judgments, as seen in the line "I'm trying to say I don't care what's your perversion."
The chorus of the song, "What you get is what you see," is a reminder that we shouldn't expect more than what is presented to us. If we get something we don't like or want, we should accept it and move forward. The song suggests that constantly waiting for something better or different will only lead to disappointment.
Overall, the lyrics to "What U get is what U see" encourage the listener to let go of past pain and disappointment, not care about societal norms or judgment, and accept things for what they are without expecting more.
