Understand
The Turbo A.C.'s Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ive been waiting for a long time
For the human race to find peace
A lot of talk a lot of promises
And the people still full of greed
We only need to come together
We need to walk hand in hand
Find respect for one another
You only got to understand
You only got to understand
You only got to understand
Lay down your arm’s
All you solders
Don’t kill or harm your fellow man
You know it’s just
A vicious circle
Death and violence
Is not a plan
We only need to come together
We need to walk hand in hand
Find respect for one another
We only got to understand
We only got to understand
We only got to understand
Ive been waiting for a long time
For the human race to find peace
A lot of talk a lot of promises
But the people still full of greed
Only need to come together
We need to walk hand in hand
Find respect for one another
We only got to understand
We only got to understand
We only got to understand
Hooo hoo hooo hoo. Ooo oo
Only got to understand




Take the hand of your brother man
Only got to understand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Turbo A.C.'s song "Understand" convey a plea for unity and compassion among humanity. The singer expresses frustration at the ongoing greed and violence within society, and emphasizes the need for people to come together and find respect for one another.


The opening lines suggest a longing for peace and an end to conflict. The "waiting for a long time" implies that the singer has been hoping for these changes to occur for quite some time. Despite the constant promises and discussions, the human race still remains full of greed and aggression.


The chorus emphasizes the simple message of understanding and unity. The repeated line "You only got to understand" highlights that it is not a difficult concept to grasp. The plea to "lay down your arms" is a call for soldiers and individuals to stop causing harm to their fellow man. The vicious cycle of death and violence is not a solution or a plan.


The second verse reiterates the frustration at the lack of progress towards peace. The talk and promises that have been made have not translated into real change, as evidenced by the continued presence of greed among the people.


The closing lines of the song reinforce the message of understanding and compassion. Taking the hand of your fellow human, or "brother man," signifies a willingness to join together and work towards a better future.


Overall, "Understand" by The Turbo A.C.'s highlights the importance of empathy, unity, and respect in order to overcome the negative aspects of human nature and bring about harmony and peace.
