How Long
The Shitz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got to say what's on my mind today
I've got to think of what the worlds will say
I've got to do it now without delay
I've got a problem with you by the way

I've got to get away from how we are
I've got to let you be the one you want
I've got a feeling that we've come too far
I've got two options to avoid the war

How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?

I've got to get away from how we are
I've got to let you be the one you want
I've got a feeling that we've come too far
I've got two options to avoid the war

How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?

I've got to say what's on my mind today
I've got to think of what the worlds will say
I've got to do it now without delay
I've got a problem with you by the way

How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on?





How long will this go on and on?
How long will this go on and on, and on, and on, and on?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Shitz's song "How Long" suggest that the singer has a problem with someone and needs to speak their mind about it. Yet, there seems to be a fear of what others may think about it. The lyrics imply that the person needs to distance themselves from the situation and allow the other person to be who they want to be, to avoid a potential conflict.


The repetition of the line "How long will this go on and on?" suggests a feeling of exhaustion and frustration, as though the situation has been going on for too long. The singer wants to address the problem immediately and not delay any longer.


In a broader sense, the song could be seen as a commentary on the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. Instead of letting resentment and frustration build up, it's essential to be open and honest about how one feels.


Overall, the song expresses a desire for resolution and an end to an ongoing situation that is causing stress and tension.

I often think this is a Soulwax track that never got released. The early DNA is so prevalent in it.

@jazzygeofferz

I'd love to hear an actual Soulwax version of this.
