AT THE TABLE
Richard Smallwood w/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moonlight rising for my soul.
You gave yourself away to someone.
Oh my God.
Chorus:
Lay it on the table...
And you know I'll bet them all.
Give me all you got. Rape me.
Come inside and taste the fire.
Before long you shall be burned.
You gave yourself away to someone.
Oh my God...
Chorus:
Lay it on the table...
And you know I'll bet them all.
Can't stand to bleed
I rip shit.
But I kick shit.
Cause I don't stand to lose
And don't you let me find.
So don't cop attitude
Or think you're cool.
Better get it straight.
Before I compensate.
For that action
The satisfaction.
To bash my fist upon your face.
I've yet to find a reason.
My K-holed son...
The lyrics of Richard Smallwood w/Vision's song "At The Table" are quite cryptic and difficult to interpret. The song begins with a description of nature, where the summer is burning the trees and the moon is rising to soothe the soul. However, the peaceful imagery is interrupted with the line "You gave yourself away to someone. Oh my God." This line suggests that the singer is lamenting the fact that someone has given themselves away to someone else, perhaps in a romantic or sexual way.
The chorus of the song "Lay it on the table...And you know I'll bet them all" suggests that the singer wants the other person to be honest and lay everything out on the table, and he is willing to take a bet with whatever information is revealed. The inclusion of the line "rape me" is jarring and potentially disturbing, but it could also be interpreted as a metaphorical expression of vulnerability and the desire to be completely exposed.
