Lost In Translation

Logic's 'Lost In Translation' is a lyrical journey through the complexities of life, success, and identity. The song opens with a scene of camaraderie and relaxation, where Logic and his friends are 'vibin’' and enjoying life despite its challenges. The phrase 'Colored people time' is a nod to a cultural stereotype, but Logic flips it to emphasize resilience and perseverance, highlighting that despite societal expectations, they still 'arrivin’.' This sets the tone for a song that is both reflective and defiant, celebrating personal victories while acknowledging the struggles that come with them.

The second verse delves deeper into Logic's personal history and rise to fame. He references his humble beginnings, watching BET and using EBT cards, contrasting it with his current success, symbolized by 'platinum CD.' The mention of 'Andre pre-3K' and 'Andre post-3K' serves as a metaphor for his own evolution as an artist, drawing parallels to André 3000's career. Logic's confidence is palpable as he declares himself 'the greatest alive,' a sentiment he believes is so evident it doesn't need to be spoken. This verse is a testament to his hard work and determination, climbing the ladder of success while staying true to his roots.

The final verse is a whirlwind of cultural references and metaphors, showcasing Logic's lyrical prowess. He compares himself to iconic figures like Bruce Wayne and Kim Kardashian, using these comparisons to illustrate his unique style and relentless drive. The line 'constantly reshaping this body of work' speaks to his dedication to his craft, always striving for perfection. The song's title, 'Lost In Translation,' suggests that despite his clear message and intent, there may still be misunderstandings or misinterpretations of his journey and identity. This adds a layer of complexity to the song, inviting listeners to delve deeper into its meaning and appreciate the nuances of Logic's storytelling.
