Yearning for Opulence: Dreams of Luxury and Escape
Lyrics
She's roaring like her 20's,
Describing a woman with energy and vitality reminiscent of the 1920s.
Like there ain't no tomorrow.
Expressing the woman's carefree and live-for-the-moment attitude.
Living in the past,
Living in nostalgia, emphasizing a backward-looking perspective.
Makes yeaterday seem modern.
Suggesting that dwelling in the past makes yesterday seem more modern in comparison.
Fascinating culture,
Highlighting the allure of a captivating culture that's slowly enveloping like ivy.
Creeping up like ivy.
Encouraging a departure from conventional structures, possibly societal norms.
Throw away the structure,
Addressing the idea that even enemies require empathy.
Your enemy's need sympathy.
Empty line.
I just want to live in luxury,
Expressing a desire for a luxurious lifestyle.
With all those diamonds danglin over me.
Yearning for wealth symbolized by diamonds.
Take me from this poverty,
Desperation to escape poverty, possibly willing to make sacrifices.
Sell my soul, keep us all in the money.
Suggesting a willingness to trade one's soul for financial prosperity.
Smokin' like a sinner,
Describing the woman as indulging in vices without remorse.
She isn't a begginer.
Asserting the woman's experience and expertise in her lifestyle.
She gets into a pintowm,
Reference to a journey from pintowm (possibly a misspelling of pintown) to Vancouver.
And drives back to vancouver.
Empty line.
She lives with her mother,
Describing the woman's living situation with family ties.
Try's to be a sister.

It really doesn't matter,
Emphasizing that individual circumstances don't matter because dreaming is paramount.
'Cause a dream is everything.

Step into this speakeasy,
Inviting others to a speakeasy, a clandestine establishment associated with the 1920s.
Where you can be who you want to be.
Encouraging freedom of expression and identity within the speakeasy.
There's no trouble here just speak to me,
Emphasizing the absence of trouble within the speakeasy, promoting openness.
And I closed my eyes and dreamed we were all in the money.
Imagining a dream where everyone is wealthy.
I just want to live in luxury,

Dreamed that we were all in the money.
Repeating the dream of everyone being wealthy.
All in the money.
