E
Rea Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind
They say
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away
Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
In Rea Chris's song "E," the letter E is used as a symbol for something that brings comfort, peace, and good times to the singer. The lyrics reflect on how the world can be a tough place to live in, especially in urban environments, and how E is a source of positivity in the midst of all that negativity. The singer challenges those who question the value of E to walk a mile in his shoes and experience what he experiences, suggesting that their perspective might change if they truly understood how beneficial E can be.
The repeated question "Tell me what's so wrong with E?" suggests that the singer is aware of criticisms of E in society, likely referring to the drug ecstasy. However, the singer doesn't delve into this issue and instead focuses on the positive effects that E has on himself and others. The hopeful tone of the lyrics suggests that E is a source of light and hope in a dark world, something that is desperately needed and should be celebrated.
Overall, "E" is a song that champions the power of positivity and challenges those who would discount it. Through its use of language and symbolism, the song encourages listeners to embrace the good things in life, even when the world seems overwhelmingly negative.

E é para o conforto,
você me dá
E é pela paz, me sinto por dentro
E é para os bons tempos
Isso vai contra os tempos ruins
E é para o mundo que você nos deu
E nos deixou aqui para trás
Eles dizem
Diga-me o que há de tão errado com E
Isso é o que eu os ouço dizer
Diga-me o que há de tão errado com E
Isso é o que eu os ouço dizer
Vamos conversar a respeito disso
E é pela razão
Para viver através do cinza urbano
E é para o brilho quente,
Isso tira o medo
Mostre-nos o que é melhor
Por que você não fica dentro
esses sapatos
Oh, viva comigo todas as segundas-feiras...
Vamos ver o que você faria...
Em que mundo você vive?
Qual mundo você escolheu?
Escondendo as lágrimas, isso é tudo
Agora em
Não sei
Eles dizem
Diga-me o que há de tão errado com E
Isso é o que eu os ouço dizer
Diga-me o que há de tão errado com E
Isso é o que eu os ouço dizer
Vamos conversar a respeito disso.
