Zididada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Album: Have a zididada day
I've been searching all my life
Never had a peacefull mind
(bridge)
Guess I've never had the courage
To embrace life as it came way
I always felt the fear of disgrace
Here's what I have to say
(chorus)
Let me lead you to the dotted line
Don't you think that we been wasting time
Baby we were meant for each other
To many times I've denied myself
The help I needed to break out of my shell
(bridge)
& (chorus)
You should know I wont let go
Can't live without you anymore
Love has struck I'm on the floor
(chorus)
The lyrics of Zididada's song The Dotted Line express the singer's realization of his own fear and lack of courage in embracing life as it is. The beginning of the song states how the singer has been searching for peace of mind all his life, but never found it. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for searching for one's true purpose or happiness in life. The bridge explains how the singer has always been afraid of being disgraced, which has held him back from living his life to the fullest. However, the chorus then tells his lover that they were meant to be together and he wants to lead her to the dotted line, signifying the commitment he is willing to make to their relationship.
In the second verse, the singer confesses that he has denied himself the help he needed to break out of his shell too many times. This could be interpreted as the singer failing to seek the necessary support required to overcome his fears and embrace life as it is. The final chorus then confirms his desire to not let go of his love and inability to live without her anymore. The lyrics of this song ultimately express the importance of taking risks, facing one's fears, and embracing life with open arms.
