Birthday Cakes
Unveiling Life's Melody: Adrian + Meredith's Musical Philosophy
Lyrics
They told me to sit back and wait, for the other careers to blossom, to take,
Advisory to wait for others' careers to progress, but the speaker rejects this passive approach.
For the other rockstars to graduate, you know me, it ain't my style
Rejecting the idea of waiting for other rockstars to succeed; not the speaker's style.
But you know what I fake, it ain't Thank You cards, or Birthday cakes
What the speaker fakes is not expressions of gratitude or celebration (Thank You cards, Birthday cakes).
And when the time is short, the time is late, like a prince on the promenade
When time is limited, urgent, akin to a prince on the promenade, suggesting a pressing situation.
You've been tried before, with the reasons you believe
Reflecting on past trials and challenges based on personal beliefs.
Your smoking & broken heart, or the songs that it might sing
Mentioning the impact of a smoking and broken heart or the songs associated with it.
But I've been right behind, what left you there, the starting line, the beating drum, and the daily grind, and whatever clipped your wings
Following what left the person at the starting line, facing the daily grind, and overcoming obstacles.
There's a hole in the story it seems, running on other peoples dreams
Engaging in pursuits fueled by others' dreams, suggesting a lack of authenticity.
Chasing the Kings and the Queens, of the country
Pursuing success and recognition comparable to kings and queens in the country.
What do you believe? Look em' in the eye like they're listening
Encouraging scrutiny of one's beliefs and questioning others, emphasizing the importance of genuine communication.
You might say, they don't know what they're missing
Anticipating that others may not fully comprehend or appreciate what they are missing.
We both know its bold-faced fraud.
Both parties are aware of the deception, acknowledging a blatant falsehood.
You've been caught before with a million different dreams
Having experienced failures and diverse dreams, advising persistence in playing the guitar until understanding is reached.
Keep strumming that old guitar, till you find out what it means
Suggesting that the meaning of life or success may be found through continuous musical expression.
When it took
Referring to a transformative moment when an old song is made new.
An oldie, and made it new
The challenge of finding words when feeling lonely, possibly related to songwriting.
Could find the words if only, id had felt so lonely
The struggle to express emotions through music and lyrics, seeking connection.
To see them through
Expressing vulnerability and the need for support to navigate challenges.
And write the hook
Emphasizing the importance of crafting a compelling musical hook or chorus.
On this wood, these strings, this glue
Acknowledging the tools used in music creation (wood, strings, glue) to express deep emotions.
Falling slowly, with eyes that know me, like you do
Describing a gradual emotional descent with the metaphor "falling slowly" and the recognition of understanding eyes.
Or you used to do.
Reflecting on a past connection that may have faded but acknowledges the understanding that once existed.
