Mistake
s.h.ɛ. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I really seem out of place
And it's a typical feeling
Like the blood tethered to my veins
I'm weary and I'm hopeless without you
If I ever go to meet someone brand new
I bet I couldn't never get quite over you
Because you make me feel like I'm the only love you knew
You spat it back in my face
I didn't ever mean to break your heart again
Now I'm stuck on pills for my pain
Slowly going insane
I feel like I'm drowning in the wake of my sin
I wanna make up for my mistakes
I wanna make up for mistakes
Like a bullet in my body digs Deeper now that I'm alone alone
Hoping you would answer instead I just got a ringtone
I never should've did you wrong
Now I'm singing this song
Hoping you might hum along
Fingers on my strings
Each pluck you packed up all your things
And now I'm stuck alone waiting too long
I hated what I did on that day
You spat it back in my face
I didn't ever mean to break your heart again
Now I'm stuck on pills for my pain
Slowly going insane
I feel like I'm drowning in the wake of my sin
I wanna make up for my mistakes
I wanna make up for my mistakes
For the regrets to pass
The time always lasts
As the colors fade black
All I want is you back
For the regrets to pass
The time always lasts
As the colors fade black
All I want is you back
For regrets to pass
Time always lasts
As the colors fade black
All I want is you back
For the regrets to pass
The time always lasts
As the colors fade black
I want you back
I hated what I did on that day
You spat it back in my face
I didn't ever mean to break your heart again
Now I'm stuck on pills for my pain
Slowly going insane
I feel like I'm drowning in the wake of my sin
I hated what I did on that day
You spat it back in my face
I didn't ever mean to break your heart again
Now I'm stuck on pills for my pain
Slowly going insane
I feel like I'm drowning in the wake of my sin
I wanna make up for my mistakes
I wanna make up for my mistakes
For the regrets to pass
The time always lasts
I still want you back
The song "Mistake" by s.h.ɛ. revolves around the idea of making choices and waiting for fate to unfold, while also questioning the very idea of waiting for something to happen.

It's the perfect mistake to make
Making a mistake can lead to a good outcome
To wait for waiting's sake
I may be waiting just because
But maybe I aint really waiting for waiting's sake
Perhaps I am waiting for my destiny
I said yeah maybe I be waiting to make my fate
I could be waiting for something that makes my future
Maybe it's already too late yeah yeah
It could be too late
Might not make 6 six figures in an office
I might not have a career like everyone else
Break it bigger than a promise
I have the potential to be great
Might stay honest
I would like to be honest
Might not
Or I might not
Might stay on it like you want it
But at least I am determined
Working 9 till 5

I'll be the first to defy
I will be a trailblazer
Might fight might flight

My choice
Might die young too
I may not live a long life
Might live long through
Or I could live a long time despite risks
In the name of the father I say
I invoke my faith as motivation
Just like Sinatra this shits done my way
I will do things my own way
But even the father I do not obey
I do not follow religious rules
Living my life yeah a little bit grey
My life is not simple
Cos nothings black and white like the way that they want it
Things aren't as clear cut as society portrays
There's no wrong or right this shit true yeah I'm honest
I believe in my own truth
Don't bow to no bishop
I don't follow religious leaders
Don't bow to no monarch
I don't follow political leaders
Just be you yeah the tonic
I just need to be myself and that's good
The number one
I am the best
Número uno
The best in Spanish
Like you know
You get it
Outta that ring like sumo
I am moving away from expectations
But outta space like a pluto
I am reaching for the stars
Spray ya up make u cuto
I get things done
Making plays like casino no Valentino
I am a risk-taker
I don't kill just make bill like Tarantino
I don't hurt people, but I do make money
Or al Pacino but u ain't my little friend
I am powerful like Al Pacino's characters
Don't pretend just ascend
Don't fake it, just succeed
Cos now I've had my fun
I am enjoying myself
I'm done no need to run
I am content
Just sit back and watch the sun
I am admiring nature
Fade to the moon
The day has ended and night has come
To the moon
The moon is my destination
It's lunar gloom
The dark is spooky
Still Got me dreaming of a novice time
I still remember my naive past
All the time
I am constantly thinking about it
Im not Keanu
I am not as cool as Keanu Reeves
Nine to five for the office time
I may work the same job every day
I'm a humble guy
I am modest
Would rather maybe be some other place right now
I sometimes wish I was elsewhere
I'm lost, I can't see life now
I feel like I don't understand life
Though i used to be relevant, elegant
I used to feel important and sophisticated
I don't like talking about elegance
But now I don't care about appearing elegant
In my ivory tower, whilst Im coasting on my elephant of excellence
I don't care about high society
Your name could be Ang
Your name doesn't matter
Traditionally sung ye
You could have a typical Asian name
Master of the elements
You might have a special talent
Sang, was my fame
When I was younger, people knew me for being good at singing
When I lived in my dream town
When I lived in my ideal place
I signed off my name
I gave up my personal identity
To a corporate big crown
To work for a big company
The gown of fate got me trippin as of late
I am feeling uncertain about my future
My feet,bare weight, the prince is late
I am waiting for something important
and my slippers of glass left nothing but shards
But I am afraid that what I am waiting for will hurt me
So I turn to the path of divinity
I look to religion for hope
Riddled with lies was my fucking altercation with the trinity
My conflicts with religion have been confusing
Carrie-anne moss better sit on my face
I have a strange attraction to a celebrity
I'll call Jeri Hogarth when I pick up a case
I make a reference to a fictional character from a show
Oh what?
I am surprised by my own thoughts
Purie thc mix it with some cbd
I talk about drugs
Tokin with posers man these people really are not for me
I don't enjoy hanging out with certain people
Incredible stories man i'll believe it when I see it G
I don't trust things easily
Apparently flawless but im hearing it when you go off key
Even when something seems perfect, I can tell when it's not quite right
Dirty ash for masquerade that's not for me
I don't like pretending to be someone else
Making beats and getting paid dont work free
I value my talent and get paid for it
Imperfect I make mistakes but still gonn' eat
I accept that I am not perfect but I will still succeed
Gold plated cutlery muching on my huckleberry
I am successful and enjoy luxury
Mm food
I think about food
The Rap snitches never know they queue
I criticize people who gossip
You Under pressure so you over do
Some people try too hard
I need Fame money think it's over due
I want to be more successful
Sellin' out i play it like the who
But I don't want to compromise my values
Beats home grown in london I ship 'em to La
I have found success in my music career
Network the industry so my wiki just my twitter page
I use social media to promote myself
Handle the enemies like im thanos on his wedding day
I am confident in dealing with negative people
Im Diamond in the rough
I may be rough around the edges, but I have potential
You like needle in the fucking hay
You are hard to find
You see
Do you understand?
Mistaking perfection
Thinking something is perfect can be a mistake
In the form of affection
Especially when it comes to love
Will not quite lead to the wanted direction
It may not lead to a desired outcome
You were born to thrive
But you were made to excel
So don't mourn just strive
So don't be sad, just work hard
Live out your dreams
Live your life to the fullest
Living is pleasant
Life can be enjoyable
A mistake is more than what it seems
A mistake can be a learning experience
So let it perfect your present
So let mistakes help you improve your life

Fanny teaches to be careful about an important pronunciation mistake.
Have you made any pronunciation mistakes?
D V
Thank you
Evgeny M. / Ευγένιος M.
Hi Fanny! Thanks for the lesson. I have one exemple: Growing Op and Growing Up. This is not a problem for me to pronounce it correctly, but for someone yes, I think.
P.S. : The term 'grow op' is short for grow operation. It is a common expression used by law enforcement and in the media to refer to residential homes that are growing marijuana indoors. :)
