Sky-I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images reflect in in mine the same time,
I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
Right here is where the end gon' start at,
Conflict, Contact, Combat,
Fighters stand where the land is marked at,
Settle the dispute about who the livest,
3 word answer,
Whoever survive this,
Only one of us can ride forever,
So you and I cant ride together,
Can't live or cant die together,
All we can do is collide together,
So I skillfully apply the pressure,
Won't stop until I'm forever... One!
A doorstep where death never come,
Spread across time til my time never done,
And I'm never done,
Walk tall, why ever run?
When they move if I ever come?
Bad man never fret the war, tell'em come
General we have the stock, the mad fire burn
I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images is reflect'in mine the same time,
I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
Survive (x16)
Reign supreme in your U-N-I,
V-E-R-S-E with the sharpness,
Narrow row building no space for partners,
No space for drivers, no space for walkers,
No space regardless,
Your on my path then get off it,
Hardheaded and unresponsive,
Get they lives put on target with harshness,
Come with the canons sparkin' they darken,
Who am iI One man squadron,
Ma stir the fire this time that'd snatch your tomorrow,
The thousand yard stare that'll pierce through your armor,
You can get it on right now if you want to,
But when ya front lines get marched through,
I warned you,
You know who forever belong to,
I-ya, I-ya
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images reflect in mine the same time,
I-ya, I-ya,
I against I,
Flesh of my flesh,
And mind of my mind,
Two of a kind but one won't survive,
My images reflect in the enemies eye,
And his images reflect in mine, survive
Survive (x16)
The lyrics of Sky-I's song "Massive" explore the concept of conflict and combat between two individuals who are mirror images of each other. The repetition of the phrase "I-ya, I against I, flesh of my flesh and mind of my mind, two of a kind but one won't survive" emphasizes the idea of two individuals who share a connection, but are pitted against each other in a fight to the death. The images of the enemies reflect in each other's eyes, suggesting a deep spiritual connection between the combatants.
The song emphasizes the brutality of conflict, using powerful imagery such as "Can't live or can't die together, all we can do is collide together, so I skillfully apply the pressure, won't stop until I'm forever... One!" The message here is that there can only be one survivor in a battle, and the only way to ensure victory is to apply maximum pressure until the opponent succumbs.
The lyrics are full of metaphors and allusions to war and battle, such as "spread across time til my time never done, and I'm never done" and "the thousand yard stare that'll pierce through your armor." The overall message of the song is that conflict is inevitable, and it is better to embrace it and emerge victorious, rather than trying to avoid it or run away from it.

[Verse 1: Nicolette]
I try to believe what I feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It's hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me
[Verse 2]
I already know my children's children's faces
Voices that I've heard before
There's always more
There's always more
[Hook]
Wondering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wondering, wondering
Where we can do what we please
Wondering
[Verse 3]
I feel like a thousand years have passed
I'm younger than I used to be
I feel like the world is my home at last
I know everyone that I meet
[Verse 4]
Somewhere in the music I can hear the bells
I heard a thousand years before
There's always more
There's always more
[Hook 2]
Wondering is this there all there is
Since I was since I began to be
Wondering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wondering

[Verse 1: Nicolette]
I try to believe what I feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It's hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me
[Pre-Chorus: Nicolette]
I already know my children's children's faces
Voices that I've heard before
There's always more
There's always more
[Chorus: Nicolette]
Wondering, leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wondering, wandering
Where we can do what we please, wondering
[Verse 2: Nicolette]
I feel like a thousand years have passed
I'm younger than I used to be
I feel like the world is my home at last
I know everyone that I meet
[Pre-Chorus: Nicolette]
Somewhere in the music I can hear the bells
I heard a thousand years before
There's always more
There's always more
[Chorus: Nicolette]
Wondering is this there all there is
Since I was since I began to be?
Wondering, wandering
Where we can do what we please, wondering

The year was 1994...when Mtv played good music. I was 15 and got hooked on those new sounds. Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead etc... What an era.
@Jellybeantiger
Donβt like trip hop except these bands had something about them that moved me.
