Concentrate
Z by Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know the lemonade’s sweet
But the flavor dissipates
I gotta let go
Don’t fall right back into it
I got sucked up by the vacuum
Fueled by temptationWhy were you there for me
Maybe you are the one that saves me
And brings me to shore and breaks these
Thoughts I can’t shake off maybe
I am what you need
Night falls slowly corrupting
Modern medicine dependent I see
There’s no end to this
It all could be a dream
Maybe you are the one that saves me
And brings me to shore and breaks these
Thoughts I can’t shake off maybe
I am what you need
Maybe you are the one that saves me
And brings me to shore and breaks these
Thoughts I can’t shake off maybe
I am what you need
Was it a mistake
Low hanging fruit from the tree
It’s from concentrate
So what you running from now
Let’s see
Maybe you are the one that saves me
And brings me to shore and breaks these
Thoughts I can’t shake off maybe
I am what you need
Maybe you are the one that breaks me
Who cuts the chord and shapes these
Fantasies I live maybe
I am what you need
The lyrics of Z’s Concentrate appear to be about a person who is struggling with addiction or dependence on something that is causing them to feel lost, trapped and unable to let go. The lemonade, which is identified as sweet, is perhaps a metaphor for the substance or behavior that this person is hooked on. However, the flavor of the lemonade dissipates, perhaps indicating that the positive effects of this substance or behavior have worn off and are no longer satisfying.
The lyrics also use imagery of a vacuum and temptation to suggest that there is a force that is pulling the person back into their addiction. Despite this, there is a sense that the person is trying to break free and move on. There is also a suggestion that the person is looking to someone else as a source of salvation or rescue from their addiction, hence the repeated lyrics, “maybe you are the one that saves me and brings me to shore.”
The lyrics also use references to “nightfall” and “modern medicine” to suggest that the struggle with addiction is something that is ongoing and pervasive. The song concludes with a sense of conflict – the person may be free, but they are still unsure of themselves and not fully confident in their ability to move on.
