Work
Tracy T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never own up to my faults and failings
And I always fall down
Just like a stairs without the railings
But oh my harshest truth
Is Iβm scared that Iβm like you
Well thereβs nothing
Nothing now
Cos you could never work it out
No thereβs nothing
Nothing now
That you could ever teach me
Cos you could never work it out
Iβll never need you
I wonβt pretend it wasnβt hard to face it
I made it by myself
Now I expect to just to hear bad news
Because you canβt see the truth
And Iβll never be the same
As you
And thereβs nothing
Nothing now
That you could ever teach me
Cos you could never work it out
No thereβs nothing
Nothing now
That you could ever teach me
Cos you could never work it out
You could never work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
You could never work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
You could never work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
You could never work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Well thereβs nothing
Nothing now
That you could ever teach me
Cos you could never work it out
No thereβs nothing
Nothing now
That you could ever teach me
Cos you could never work it out
You could never work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
The song "Work" by Tracy T talks about personal growth and the struggles that come with it. The opening lines, "It's easy to blame you, I never own up to my faults and failings" suggest that while the singer has been blaming someone else for his/her problems, they have now come to terms with the fact that they are responsible for their own life. The lines, "And I always fall down, just like stairs without the railings" convey the sense of vulnerability that comes with growth, that despite one's best efforts to progress, there will always be slip-ups and regressions.
The chorus, "That you could ever teach me, cos you could never work it out" suggests that the singer has moved on from someone who was once a teacher or mentor, but now realizes that they have surpassed them in their own personal growth. The lyrics, "Iβll never need you, I wonβt pretend it wasnβt hard to face it, I made it by myself" further emphasize this idea that the singer has overcome their dependence on someone else's guidance and has become self-reliant.
The repetition of "work it out" in the latter part of the song represents the struggles that one must endure in order to grow and evolve. The overall message of the song is one of self-reliance, self-awareness, and the importance of taking ownership of one's own life.
