Interpretation
In the song "Guy For That" by
Post Malone, the protagonist knows special people for many things. He mentions having a designer for his gun, the new boyfriend of his mother rebinding bibles, and a neighbor repairing shoes. He says, "Hell, I got a guy for every damn thing." These people can help him in many matters, but when it comes to repairing a relationship, he doesn't have the right "guy".
