Globetrot: Unraveling Life's Tapestry through Barenaked Ladies' Melody
Lyrics
Doesn't matter any of it happened before
Regardless of the past, it doesn't hold significance now.
Maybe it was locked, but you still opened the door
Even if a situation seemed closed, you found a way to open it.
The kind that got nailed up mind in the store
Reference to a closed or confined mindset.
So you held yo head down mopping the floor
Feeling defeated or low, symbolized by head down while working.
If you were gonna wreck it, next to what was it for
Questioning the purpose of destroying something next to what.
I guess it doesn't matter much, not anymore
Things don't matter much anymore, a sense of indifference.
(Globetrot) If that's what you wanna do
Expressing a desire to travel globally.
(Don't stop) 'Till you make the best of you
Persisting until the best version of oneself is achieved.
(Globetrot) 'Cause I'm getting used to you
Getting accustomed to someone or something.
(Bad cop) I did what I had to do
Reference to taking necessary actions, even if perceived as 'bad cop.'
We wanna get from you if you are feeling alone
Seeking to understand if someone feels alone.
Gonna open up the lines and stay by the phone
Opening communication lines and waiting for a response.
'Cause maybe this loneliness is bred in the bone
Suggesting that loneliness is ingrained in one's nature.
Anyone with half of a mind would probably had known
Assuming that someone with half a mind would have known.
It's like when looking down from this spectacular drone
Metaphorical perspective, possibly on gaining insight from a higher vantage point.
Whispering secrets into magnophones
Sharing secrets, possibly through technology.
I want more than ever before
Expressing a desire for more in life.
I want way beyond satisfaction
Wanting satisfaction beyond the minimum.
In this case you know the less isn't more
Rejecting the notion that less is more in this context.
And I can't wait to see your reaction
Anticipating someone's reaction with excitement.
I can't wait to see your reaction
Reiteration of the anticipation for a reaction.
Yeah, I can't wait
Emphasizing the eagerness to see a reaction.
I'm supposed your memory is not as before
Noting a decline in memory compared to before.
You might have got your head caught slammed in the door
Suggesting a traumatic event affecting memory.
Either way, your memory is not as before
Reiterating the decline in memory.
Guess that I could give the benefit of the doubt
Considering giving the benefit of the doubt.
If I wouldn't know just what you is about
Knowing someone's true nature or intentions.
Don't have to be a genius to figure it out
It's not challenging to understand the situation.
(Globetrot) If that's what you wanna do
Reiteration of the desire to travel globally.
(Don't stop) 'Till you make the best of you
Continuing efforts until personal excellence is achieved.
(Globetrot) 'Cause I'm getting used to you
Getting accustomed to a person or situation.
(Bad cop) I did what I had to do
Taking necessary actions, even if perceived as 'bad cop.'
(Globetrot) If that's what you wanna do
Reiteration of the desire to travel globally.
(Don't stop) 'Till you make the best of you
Persisting until the best version of oneself is achieved.
(Globetrot) 'Cause I'm getting used to you
Getting accustomed to a person or situation.
(Bad cop) I did what I had to do
Taking necessary actions, even if perceived as 'bad cop.'
