Just spreading some knowledge for the people swinging in. I love reading this while listening to it. The final night of Sade’s 1993 Love Deluxe World Tour, Sade explained to her audience that “Like A Tattoo” was a true story based on the accounts of a stranger Sade met years ago on an evening at a New York City bar: A long time ago, I met a man in a bar in New York. He told me his story. This is his song. It’s about war and what he had to go through. The song’s grave tone reflects his guilt and shame over committing a war crime. Over the course of the song, we learn that he shot and killed a man who had his hands up in surrender-an act that may have also been witnessed by a significant woman in the victim’s life. But despite the soldier’s egregious act, the intensity of his regret is only possible because of the empathy present in his heart; his love for humanity.

when you followed a childhood dream and no one belived in you and you finally make it… now i’m driving my dream car and just smile at the window. god is great!
God is great indeed! Hopefully I follow my childhood dreams of being a comic book writer, an artist, a filmmaker, at least SOMEONE in this banal and vapid world. 😂❤
i will live a well-intentioned, hardworking, and pure life full of experiences. as i live my life, soulful music such as this will accompany me. Thank you for everything Sade
My grandmother passed yesterday and I remember seeing her after she had left us. This song brings tears to my eyes, fresh reminder of the loved one we have lost, but it is just such a beautiful song🙏🏽 thank you Sade🕊️
Like a Tattoo Lyrics He told me sweet lies of sweet loves Heavy with the burden of the truth And he spoke of his dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of his youth "Fourteen years," he said "I couldn't look into the sun She saw him laying at the end of my gun" Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river I remember his hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from his eyes Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Written all over my face The war is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As I reveal my shame to you I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo
and I have to say this sounds like a record being played on a record player you know what I think I absolutely love it perfect well job done my friend keep up the good work and keep it coming thanks
This song is so haunting and hypnotic. It grabs you and doesn't let go until you have wandered through your minds entire range of emotions. It evokes a sense of longing, despair, and hope. A brilliant piece of work
I flew back from Amsterdam by myself, smoked so much weed and had this song on loop the whole plane journey. Ascending into the sky, then watching the sunset transform into night in the clouds. Every time I woke up on that flight I felt like I was levitating in the sky with this song in the background. Pure Euphoria.
Just started traveling the world. this was The first song i found right before the plane took off and i left everything i’ve ever known behind. meant to be❤
I’m currently sitting in my poolchair infront off my ocean front mansion in Miami. I’m currently enjoying the sunset with my blunt. Life’s good 🌆 🌴 🌊 🚤🏎️

Like a Tattoo Lyrics
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
"Fourteen years," he said
"I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun"
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
The beginning of this song is so beautiful
one of the prettiest songs imo
I’m in love with this song.
I remember her hands, and the way the mountains looked 🏔️
🤧
the Iight shot diamonds from his eyes💎
Hungry for life

This evokes a type of nostalgia I don't yet know how to describe
