I think this line is really powerful and an excellent conclusion to the song because he is saying that you need to work hard and give your all, and eventually you will get a positive return. He ends the song by stating, “First you put the work in til it works out / Work it out til it’s turnt out”. In a world where one can be a “hater” by simply typing something negative on their phone, it’s important to rise above and thrive despite the hate. Luke Skywalker is the “chosen one” and carries a tremendous amount of strength and perseverance. In the chorus of the song, he states “I’m Luke Skywalkin’ on these haters”, maybe a little corny, but I think it carries a much deeper meaning. I think Miguel is trying to say that it’s GREAT to be proud of yourself and you should always recognize your own value and worth. We are constantly told to be confident and release our insecurities, but then insulted when we love ourselves “too much” or compliment any part of ourselves. This might be a little bit cheesy, but I think the message is to show the power of your own confidence. He then says, “I’m outstanding so I stand out”. So I wrote a song to be my lullaby Sing me to sleep at night. It also means paying attention to yourself, and staying true to your own morals and beliefs throughout any craziness you may face in life. Youd say oh suck it all up Dont get stuck in the mud. Paying attention to the people around, your surroundings, and living in the moment of your experiences. I was vivid, but I’m better now (hey) All gains I’ve been wrappin. One of the next lines, “Don’t sleep you gotta stay up”, is talking about paying attention. Don’t sleep, you gotta stay up (splish) Don’t, don’t sleep, you gotta stay up. You have the power to break out of bad habits and let go of negatives that are only bringing you down. I believe that Miguel is trying to say that whatever problems or hardships you may come across, it is better to face them head on and deal with them instead of compartmentalizing them, which only hurts you more later in life. The opening line of the song, “Quick to dead the bull like a matador”, is repeated many times and I think it is one of the most important lines in the song. To me, the overall purpose of the song is to show that although you may not be in control of what happens to you in life, you ARE in control of how you let things affect you and you have the ability to grow from pain instead of letting it set you back. For one of my posts, I decided to analyze one of my favorite songs, “Sky Walker” by Miguel and featuring Travis Scott. gotta stay up (Splish) Don't, don't sleep, you gotta stay up I was good then, but I'm better now (Hey) All gains I've been reppin' up.
