Black Sheep
Sanguine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your intention has grown older
Through convention we are tied
I'm not designed to keep this under
Over your desire
Fake our trust
Do you
Pray for us
To release the love
And we'll fight it
Yeah we'll fight it
We are
YEAH
BLACK SHEEP
Do your inventions keep the slumber?
Exasperation of the mind
We all confide in our wonder
Of the family tie
Blame us first
Is there
More to learn
To relieve the hurt
And we'll fight it
Yeah we'll fight it
We are
YEAH
BLACK SHEEP
I can not relate to any one of you fucking people
Am i not good enough?
That much is clear
Every olive branch broken like a twig
Each time eroding the respect just a little more
A little more
A little more
I fell like i don't belong here
The feeling of distance ever grows
The chasm getting deeper each time we fail to connect
I feel like i don't belong here
I feel so sick inside
The people who surround me
Wouldn't notice if I died
Save our lust
Is there
More to trust
Please release the love
And we'll fight it
Yeah we'll fight it




Yeah
BLACK SHEEP

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sanguine's song Black Sheep are a commentary on feeling isolated and misunderstood in one's family or social group. The singer laments their inability to connect with those around them and their frustration at feeling like an outcast. The lines "I'm not designed to keep this under / Over your desire" suggest a rebellion against the expectations placed on the singer, and the repeated refrain of "we'll fight it / Yeah we'll fight it / We are / BLACK SHEEP" suggests a rallying cry for those who feel different or ostracized.
