| Sublime – Santeria Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| @[osuturfman:34220] Look at his past.. He often sang about a cheating girlfriend in "Doin' Time", obviously "Santeria", "Pool Shark", "Right Back", "Lets go get stoned", "Hope", "Angelo", "Mic Control", "New Realization." Plus, Bradley was so strung out during the recording oof this album I very seriously doubt this is about Jakob Nowell. I believe its about the loss of someone's true love & how a person would do anything to get them back. "What I really wanna know, my baby, what I really wanna say is there's just one, way back, and I'll make it yea, my soul will have to wait... yeeeeea yeeeeeeaaaaaa yea." You could even interpret this song for his longing for heroin during his recovery... Think of it from a junkie's perspective.. This could be Bradley talking to a dealer wanting his fix, how he would spend all of his money to get his fix & what he would do to "slap her down" on his arm.." His heina is heroin and what he would do for it. I seriously doubt this was about Jakob. I think this was about his past relationships, MARY?. How he has overcome them "What I really wanna say, my baby, What I really wanna say is Ive got mine & Ill make it, yes I'm coming up!!" What I really wanna know, my baby, what I really wanna say is there is just one, way back, and my soul will have to wait.. yea yea yea." Your forgetting his past & present before he died. How many times he was cheated on, his addiction, his failures, and finally finding his true love. Your over thinking/ analyzing this song. Just look at his interviews, concerts, and stories before and during that time. His focus was troy, the band and heroin. "Thinking how things weren't so cool to me, my baby likes to shoot pool, I like lying naked in my bedroom tying off that dinosaur tonight, used to be so cool, now I've I got that needle and I can't shake, I can't breathe, I want more and more, one day im going to lose the war." | |
