Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For what is please
Do make me right
I wanna live the fortune by by by, say
Good tender kiss
Fool off the side
You call me up like crazy
Pass me by and
Leaving the crops and
Leaving the cops and
Yeah, my glow′s back
Leave the ropes then
Living under the tops
And yeah, oh my healing
There'll come a time don′t forget it
There'll come a time when you'll when you′ll regret it
You should have stayed through that nasty weather
Fallen off the side, but you′ll never feel better
Let down and changed and fallen
Down the west side
Let down and changed and fallen
Sleep if you can
Leaving the crops and
Leaving the cops and
Yeah, my glow's back
Leave the ropes then
Living under the tops
And yeah, oh my healing
Let down and changed and fallen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M A's "Down the West Side" are filled with abstract and metaphorical language, making it open to interpretation. Here's one possible explanation:


The song seems to address the theme of finding personal fulfillment and escaping from a mundane or unsatisfying life. The opening lines, "For what is please, do make me right, I wanna live the fortune by by by, say," suggest a desire for a better life and an insistence on finding one's own path to success.


The lyrics then mention a "good tender kiss" and fooling off the side, which could symbolize taking risks and exploring new experiences. The line "You call me up like crazy, pass me by and leaving the crops and leaving the cops" might represent being enticed by exciting opportunities and leaving behind the constraints of a conventional life.


Later, the lyrics acknowledge that there might be consequences to this pursuit of personal fulfillment. The lines "There'll come a time when you'll regret it, you should have stayed through that nasty weather" suggest that there will be moments of doubt and regret along the way.


The recurring phrase "Let down and changed and fallen" could represent a sense of disappointment or failure that arises from taking risks and deviating from societal norms. However, the refrain "Leaving the crops and leaving the cops, yeah, my glow's back, leave the ropes then" could be interpreted as a statement of liberation and embracing one's individuality.


Overall, "Down the West Side" portrays a journey towards self-discovery and personal growth, acknowledging that there will be challenges and sacrifices along the way, but ultimately asserting the importance of following one's own path to fulfillment and finding healing in the process.
