In his song writing, he thrives to let you experience the thin line between simplicity and complexity. GOSTO takes you to places that you seem to recognize, but not yet have been before.

My Bad
gosto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

don't you want to sacrifies
don't you want to free yourself
don't you need to enjoy the time you breath
don't you wanna live

oh you
coming from the flipside
yeah you

open up your mind
Man saying: no more, my love, no more

can't you see the beauty of the light
don't you want to travel through the night
would you be caught up in a haze
amazed by solitude and amazed by grace

oh you
coming from the flip side

yeah you
open up your mind
