Utopia
Wear and Tear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and a pocket full of pills.
You are shining,
youre a city on a hill.
Look at my body,
this is my body,
my choice you
can´t take from me.
Keep me climbing
and bend me to your will.
Utopia -
where frees an illusion
the brave live in fear
they could lose.
Lies our truth.
Utopia.
Why are the only three colours that matter to you
red, white, and blue?
Red for the blood in the streets.
Blue for the hearts that are broken with grief.
White is the colour of greed.
The original sin you repeat.
Bring me your huddled masses -
theres cages left to fill.
Is this freedom?
Set fire to your crosses
and wear a badge to kill
is your dream done?
Utopia -
where frees an illusion
the brave live in fear
they could lose.
Lies our truth.
Utopia.
Why are the only three colours that matter to you
red, white, and blue?
Utopia.
Got a pocket full of bullets.
and a pocket full of pills.
Utopia.
The lyrics of "Utopia" by Wear and Tear are a powerful commentary on the state of society and the struggle for freedom and justice. The song begins with the image of having a pocket full of bullets and pills, which symbolize the violent and destructive elements present in the world. The singer then describes someone or something shining like a city on a hill, representing a beacon of hope or an ideal. However, the tone quickly turns critical as the singer questions the idea of choice and personal agency, emphasizing that no one can take away their autonomy and decisions.
The chorus introduces the concept of utopia, but it is portrayed as an illusion rather than a reality. The brave ones who seek freedom live in fear of losing it, and the truth is distorted by lies. The lyrics then shift focus to the colors red, white, and blue, symbolizing patriotism and nationalism. The singer questions why these three colors are the only ones that matter and criticizes their associations. Red signifies bloodshed and violence in the streets, blue represents broken hearts and grief, and white represents greed and the perpetuation of sin.
Line by Line Meaning
Got a pocket full of bullets
I am carrying around a dangerous and destructive force with me
and a pocket full of pills.
In addition to the physical danger, I am also burdened by the emotional and mental struggle
You are shining,
You possess a radiant and powerful presence
you're a city on a hill.
You stand out and are admired by others for your greatness
Look at my body,
Direct your attention towards my physical form
this is my body,
I assert ownership and autonomy over my own body
my choice you
The decision-making power regarding my body
wanna take from me,
That you desire to strip away from me
can't take from me.
But you cannot succeed in doing so
Keep me climbing
Continuously pushing me to strive for higher goals
and bend me to your will.
While exerting control and influence over me, molding me according to your desires
Utopia -
The ideal, perfect society
where frees an illusion
Where freedom is merely a deceptive concept
the brave live in fear
Those who are bold and fearless are actually filled with anxiety
they could lose.
There is a constant threat of losing everything they fight for
Lies our truth.
Our genuine reality is obscured by falsehoods and deception
Why are the only three colours that matter to you

Bring me your huddled masses -
Welcome and accept those who are marginalized and seeking refuge

Is this freedom?
Questioning whether the current state of affairs truly represents liberty
Set fire to your crosses
Metaphorically burn the symbols of oppression and discrimination
and wear a badge to kill
However, replacing one form of violence with another through the authority of a badge
is your dream done?
Asking whether the desired vision for a just and equal society has been accomplished
Utopia.
Once again mentioning the ideal and perfect society
Got a pocket full of bullets.
Still carrying the potential for harm and destruction
and a pocket full of pills.
Continuing to struggle with emotional and mental challenges
Utopia.
Reiterating the concept of the ideal society

Couple things I wanna say:
It’s a great album but not album of the year. My opinion is lil Yatchy's album is better. I mean if you saw how Dontai was acting you would understand; as well as LOOOVE being the most underrated song on the album.
All i hear is FE!N, MELTDOWN or I KNOW ? is the best but LOOOVE just doesn't get that much attention it deserves plus Cudi was sliding on that track. The only thing I hate about this album is how the media is gonna use it especially TikTok with their history of ruining a lot of great songs.
K-POP wasn't even bad at all I think its just a lot of non-spanish speaking people hating or because it sounds like a radio song or because it was a single before it was added on the album which is understandable but everyone still did great on that track.
My favorite songs: hyaena, thank god, my eyes, looove, telekinesis, i know, and sirens (not in any particular order)
My LEAST favorite: delresto (echoes) I just feel like Beyonce did not fit on that track but maybe it might grow on me eventually
Fun Fact: I KNOW ? was originally gonna be replaced my MAFIA but Travis changed it last second.
All the features were great besides from Beyonce imo.
TL;DR: 19/19 Album not aoty but second place in my opinion.

Beyonce and Sza kinda hijacked the songs they're in.
