Melt Down
S.V.D.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my mind melts down I find ways to distract myself
It's kinda like self harm
My decisions impact my wealth
trying hard to find myself
My brothers vision hit me in the heart
gave me the jump start
From the start we been in the same mud
Yet we keep it in the hush
Different lives lived through different eyes but I see you now
I recognize the pain within cause I've kept mine buried deep inside
But we're on a better path now
Pray to god you don't move south now
From SLC you head southbound
Always improving on my sound
My trouble making habits got me feeling like an addict, my distraction comes from adolescence trauma
Early reflection mixed with psychedelics influence my divisions at the moment, been too caught up in the music to get my diploma
Mom I miss your aroma
Mom I miss your aroma
But
Gotta move forward, gotta keep going
There's few moments in our lives when we're focused on culture
Not the past or the present but I'm talking the future
My descendants are watching over how I maneuver
It feels like every time I stir down to write a song
my mind melts down I find ways to distract myself
It's kinda like self harm
My ability to thrive rests souly deep inside
Con-caved been my soul, but inside it still shines
Been bright since a youngin but
Alopecia got me fucked up
Since then I've been locked up
In insecurity, I'm my own biggest defeat
Wearing hats out in the street
12 years old looking like mr. Clean
Was dreaming bout hair since then
Still waking up dreaming bout having bangs
But Now I'm proud to match Phillip banks
One day we'll be drowning at the banks
we'll be look back on these days
Thinking that shit brought some pain
But it's all good
Cause we're on a better path now, path now
Pray to god you don't move south now
From SLC you head southbound
Always improving on my sound
I've been selling on these open waters
Been conversing with my Heavenly Father
Praying that the ocean makes me stronger
Couldn't stand a chance so I try harder
Open seas, that's all I see, ya see
Retribution from the one who created me
From the one who put pain in me
Loving this world turns to slavery

I have always had potential from a young age, however...
Alopecia got me fucked up
Having alopecia has greatly affected me
Since then I've been locked up
Since then, I've felt trapped
In insecurity, I'm my own biggest defeat
My insecurity is the biggest obstacle in my life
Wearing hats out in the street
I often wear hats to cover up my alopecia
12 years old looking like mr. Clean
At just 12 years old, I was already bald
Was dreaming bout hair since then
I have been longing for hair ever since that age
Still waking up dreaming bout having bangs
Even today, I dream of having hair
But Now I'm proud to match Phillip banks
Now I'm finally content with my appearance and resemble a character from the TV show Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
One day we'll be drowning at the banks
One day, we will become successful
we'll be look back on these days
We'll reminisce about these difficult times in the future
Thinking that shit brought some pain
We'll remember that these hard times brought us pain
But it's all good
But despite the difficulties, everything will turn out fine in the end
Cause we're on a better path now, path now
We're on the right track now
I've been selling on these open waters
I've been navigating through uncertain circumstances
Been conversing with my Heavenly Father
I've been communicating with God for guidance
Praying that the ocean makes me stronger
I hope my struggles will ultimately make me stronger
Couldn't stand a chance so I try harder
Even though the odds are against me, I try even harder to succeed
Open seas, that's all I see, ya see
All I see ahead of me are vast, uncharted waters
Retribution from the one who created me
I feel like I am being punished by a higher power
From the one who put pain in me
I believe that God is the source of my pain and struggles
Loving this world turns to slavery
Being too attached to this world can end up being a burden or source of suffering
