V.E.I.L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your condom on your willy,
Rich in paradise
You are
You are
You you you are
I'm zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Ain't talking about no roots in the land
Talking about the roots in the man
I'm zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots
I'm homeward bound
Got my head to the ground
Going back to begin myself
I can't live for nobody else
I've been living in a world of fantasy
And I'm going back, going back to reality
I've been searching for riches I had all the time
Finding out happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
I'm zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Ain't talking about no roots in the land
Talking about the roots in the man
I'm zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots
You could be rich in paradise
Rich in paradise
I'm homeward bound
Got my head to the ground
Going back to begin myself
I can't live for nobody else
Living in a world of fantasy
And I'm going back to reality
I've been searching for riches I had all the time
Finding out happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
The lyrics to V.E.I.L's song "Back to the Roots" convey a message on the importance of self-discovery and finding true happiness. The song begins with a light-hearted tone, reminding listeners to use protection during sexual activities. This segues into a more serious message about being content with oneself and going back to one's roots. The singer talks about leaving a world of fantasy and returning to reality, highlighting the need to prioritize one's personal well-being over the pursuit of materialistic wealth and societal validation.
The chorus serves as a catchphrase that emphasizes the main theme of the song, "I'm zipping up my boots, going back to my roots." The use of the word 'roots' in the song refers to the singer's origin, heritage, and core identity. Instead of seeking validation and purpose externally, the singer asserts that it is essential to look inwards and find purpose within oneself. The song concludes with the repetition of the line, "You could be rich in paradise," delivering a final message of contentment and hope.
