You are the reason
The reason I sing
I have to preserve you
Cause you’re my everything
Babe I know I fucked up
Fucked with some empty cups
But you got your friends too
Better believe in it
Truth I’m up on my luck
Can’t stop running amok
But you got your friends too
I just want to thank you for saving my life, Yes
I just want to thank you for all your advice
You are the reason, the reason I’m alive
I must bring you honour
If I don’t, I’ll die
I know I brought shame
Put a mark on your name
But you got your thangs too, better believe it I’m
Rising up from the flame
The phoenix that I became
But you got your thangs too
Let me say
I just want to thank you for giving me life yes
I just want to thank you for all your advice
Send me kisses when it’s grey skies
Its been so long look how time flies
If you love me won’t you let me know
I’ve been trynna learn to let you go
Call my name whenever tears fall
When you face your fears you stand tall
Send me kisses when it’s grey skies
Its been so long look how time flies
If you love me won’t you let me know
I’ve been trynna learn to let you go
Call my name whenever tears fall
When you face your fears you stand tall
Know I’d take a bullet for you
No you don’t know what I go through
And I know you think you’re kinda nice
Do you remember when I saved your life
Don’t come at me on some weak shit
It’s time you stopped displaying weakness, oh, oh
[Sean Leon:]
Hey momma
I’m still your second son the same I ain’t changed momma
I made some change
Times have changed on me
Times have changed (minds have changed)
My mind feel strange momma but I feel the same
I feel ashamed when I’m face to face with my faith
Face to face with my faith momma, I lost my faith
[Silent]
Isn’t it nice
Human sacrifice
The universe got it
I got too excited
And now we’re taking life
Isn’t it nice
Human sacrifice
I hate consequences, that shits too expensive
You keep chasing delight
Isn’t it nice
Human sacrifice
I take the easy way out every time
I don’t deserve my own life
Isn’t it nice
Human sacrifice oh yes
Say I’m a martyr
Charge that to my ego
I just want all the lights
Exploring the Emotional Depths of “Freudian”
“Freudian” by Daniel Caesar is an intimate exploration of vulnerability, gratitude, and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics candidly showcase the narrator’s struggle with personal flaws and mistakes, while expressing deep appreciation for a loved one’s unwavering support. The song traverses themes of redemption and self-reflection, as Caesar admits his shortcomings and acknowledges the sacrifices made by both parties. The inclusion of Sean Leon’s verse adds another layer, delving into familial expectations and personal transformation. The recurring motif of ‘human sacrifice’ poetically underscores the emotional costs that come with love, self-improvement, and the search for meaning.
