Sweat
Trey Boyte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we please discuss something other than the way the city sounds?
Rest a while, walk around
Stop the dreams from getting so

This won′t save you
This won't save you
This won′t save you
This won't save you
This won't save you
This won′t save you
This won′t save you
This won't save you




This won′t save you
This won't save you

Overall Meaning

In Trey Boyte's song "Sweat," the lyrics reflect a sense of disillusionment and perhaps even despair. The opening lines, "Can we please discuss something other than the way the city sounds?" suggest a weariness with urban life and perhaps a longing for something simpler or more natural. The following lines urge the listener to "rest a while, walk around" and to "stop the dreams from getting so" - perhaps an admonition to slow down and live in the moment, rather than constantly chasing after elusive dreams and goals.


The refrain of the song, "This won't save you," underscores a sense of futility and hopelessness. It is repeated multiple times throughout the song, as if to emphasize this message. It's unclear exactly what "this" refers to - it could be the city, the dreams the singer is pursuing, or something else entirely. But the repeated refrain suggests that whatever it is, it won't ultimately provide salvation or redemption.


Overall, "Sweat" seems to be a meditation on the human condition, and the often-futile nature of our pursuits. The lyrics suggest a sense of weariness and disillusionment with the frenzied pace and superficiality of modern life, and a longing for something deeper and more meaningful.
