Lessons From Above Lyrics – Yung Lean

Lessons From Above Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The chorus talks about important life lessons that come with hardship and sacrifice. It repeats the idea that people don’t really listen or pay attention to these lessons, even though they’re often right in front of them. The lessons are tough and hard-earned, but many choose to ignore them.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer reflects on past experiences, sensing something familiar in their surroundings, like hearing voices or seeing things they’ve seen before. There’s a reference to a “castle” and “Lord,” which may symbolize a place of power or singerity. Despite all of this, the singer feels detached and uninterested, almost as if they want no part of it, rejecting what’s happening around them.

[Chorus]
Here, the chorus returns to the idea of lessons being ignored. The focus shifts slightly to how these lessons aren’t just hard but also paid with blood, emphasizing the sacrifices involved. The line “Where’s the honor amongst us?” hints at the loss of integrity or values, expressing a sense of confusion or disappointment about the world.

[Verse 2]
This verse explores feelings of denial and a lack of honor among people. The singer points out how people notice the problems around them but still choose to ignore them or cross boundaries. There’s a sense of regret for walking down a dangerous path too many times, realizing it’s too late to go back. Despite everything being dark and difficult, people keep pretending it’s fine and don’t act on the clear signs of trouble.

[Outro]
The outro echoes the earlier thoughts in the song, repeating that people don’t want to hear or deal with the harsh realities. There’s a sense of detachment and rejection from the lessons being taught, as if people are purposely choosing to stay away from what’s truly important or challenging.
