The C.R.S. Players Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And called my bluff
You said "it's true
But not enough"
Belief involves
A change of scene
It all comes true
Eventually
So how can this wait?
It's not enough for us
How can this wait?
It's not enough for us
We'll all believe eventually
So how can this wait?
It's not enough for us
You sent this through
Forget me not
Impressive truths
Electric shocks
If we can wait
For ways to see
Through all the proofs
And chemistry
Then patience is key
But how can this wait?
It's not enough for us
How can this wait?
It's not enough for us
We'll all believe eventually
So how can this wait?
It's not enough for us
I can go and overthink this
If you want to
Nothing much is gonna change
If it's not forced through
I can go and overthink this
If you want to
Probably will
But how can this wait?
It's not enough for us
How can this wait?
It's not enough for us
We'll all believe eventually
So how can this wait?
It's not enough for us
It's not enough for us
How can this wait?
It's not enough for us
The lyrics to The C.R.S. Players' song "Mambo No. 5" speak to the concept of belief and the frustration caused by waiting for something that is not yet enough. The first verse describes a situation where the singer has been called out for not fully believing in something, yet there is an understanding that belief requires a "change of scene." While the truth may be impressive and even electric, patience is ultimately necessary for this belief to come true.
The chorus then poses the question, "How can this wait? It's not enough for us," expressing the impatience the singer feels in waiting for belief to truly take hold. The second verse acknowledges the electric shocks of impressive truths and the need to wait for ways to see through all the proofs and chemistry. Again, patience is acknowledged as key to allowing for belief.
The bridge then speaks to the concept of overthinking and how it can lead to not much changing without a conscious effort. The chorus then repeats the frustration of waiting and the need for belief to ultimately come to fruition. Overall, the lyrics of "Mambo No. 5" explore the complexity of belief and the importance of patience in allowing it to manifest.
