Understand
Sa.Du Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw God when I looked in your eyes
But in her eyes I only saw myself
I compared yours to the ocean out of beauty
Subconsciously it was out of fear
Because I was always afraid of the unknown

Eyes that reflected mine when my parents started to fight
The devil knows that she's fire and I'm dynamite
My charade showing I'd rather feel good than right
Leading me to give myself up on Friday nights

Oh God what have I done
I traded my innocence for a little fun
Oh God what am I doing
Where is my soul, why do I run

Six six six is just a number and
Sex sex sex is not a game
We live in fear of everything
Everything except our own shame

To the women you're worth more
And to the boys stop playing games
Where's your honor towards future mothers
You're disrespecting your family's name

Poisoned by pleasure
Geared for instant gratification
Set up for failure
Slaves to over-satiation

There's no room for trust
When you don't know how to love
Because your motives are led by lust
And your actions trade the L's for M's

Oh God what have I done
I traded my innocence for a little fun
Oh God what am I doing
Where is my soul, why do I run

Poisoned by pleasure
Geared for instant gratification




Set up for failure
Slaves to over-satiation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sa.Du's song "Understand" delve into themes of self-reflection, personal growth, and the consequences of indulging in instant gratification. The first verse reflects on the singer's perception of God through the eyes of their love interest. They initially felt a connection to something divine, but upon closer inspection, they realized that this person only mirrored their own ego and desires. This comparison was driven by fear, a fear of the unknown and the vulnerability that comes with genuine connection.


The second verse delves into the singer's past and the impact their upbringing had on their relationships. They mention their parents' fights and how their partner reminds them of their own fiery and explosive nature. The singer acknowledges their tendency to prioritize pleasure and surface-level happiness over what is morally right. This leads them to make choices on Friday nights that compromise their innocence.


The chorus serves as a plea to a higher power, expressing regret and a sense of lost innocence. The singer questions their own actions and wonders why they continue to run away from their own soul.


The following verses touch on societal issues and the consequences of a culture obsessed with instant gratification and pleasure. The lyrics criticize the objectification of women and the tendency for men to play with emotions without considering the impact on others. The song speaks to the erosion of trust and the lack of genuine love when motivations are driven by lust and actions lack integrity.
