“Sado” is a song about a man who was left by his girlfriend Eliza after they had moved in together. He reminisces on a time where his supposed pet “Sado” eats a tomato raw. This makes him think of the life he had with his former partner and makes him “choke up” as he says in the song.
[Verse 1]
Sado potato ate a raw tomato
In the back yard of our first garden
And I didn't know that we could argue over small shit
For so long
[Chorus]
Oh Eliza
I'm good 'n' gone, I'm good 'n' gone
Oh Eliza
She movin on, she movin on
[Verse 2]
Sado potato ate that raw tomato
And I don't know if they still grow in the old home
We were supposed to get old in
But the last time I saw you
You know that I get choked up where does time go
'Cause she said onward and upward
[Chorus]
Oh Eliza
I'm good 'n' gone, I'm good 'n' gone
Oh Eliza
She movin on, she movin on
Eliza I'm good 'n' gone, I'm good 'n' gone
Eliza she movin on, she movin on
[Outro]
Sado potato ate a raw tomato
In the backyard of our first garden
But everyone's afraid of the times
'Cause we all get plucked from the vine
