berhana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Day by day)
Sound of the man
She sees the silence now she's praying that it stops
Scoop her from the stoop and then we uber to the rocks
Never harder, but heavenly father fathered me
Follow me to the promised land
Grey love
Hungover Sunday love
Come over no stay love
Maybe someday
Grey love
Come over no stay love
Hungover Sunday love
Why not today?
Promised land, I promise you
Promised land, I promise you
It's just 5 blocks, it's just 5 blocks
Promised land, I promise you
Promised land, I promise you
It's just 5 blocks, it's just 5 blocks
The lyrics of "Wade Green" by Berhana talk about finding refuge in a person or place. The line "Sun dressed in the moon's guise" suggests a contrast of opposites and implies something unusual about the singer's surroundings. They sing about hearing the sound of the man which could indicate that the singer is walking around the city and listening to the things going on around them.
The next few lines suggest that the singer is with someone who is anxious or worried. "She sees the silence now she's praying that it stops" could mean that this person is overwhelmed by the chaos and noise around them and wants to find peace. The singer then promises to take this person to a better place, a promised land that is only "just 5 blocks" away.
The chorus shifts the focus to love and the potential for a relationship. The repetition of "Grey love" could suggest a lack of clarity or uncertainty in romantic feelings. The lyrics also mention a hungover Sunday love, which could imply a casual, spontaneous relationship. The chorus ends with an invitation to come over and stay, or maybe just someday, suggesting that the singer is open to the possibility of love but not necessarily committed to pursuing it aggressively.
Overall, "Wade Green" seems to be a meditation on the search for security and sanctuary, both in physical spaces and personal relationships.
