Instant Karma
Embrace the Ripples of Instant Karma's Wake
Lyrics
Three, four
Introduction or countdown to a message
Instant karma's gonna get you
Warning that consequences, in the form of karma, will catch up with the individual
Gonna knock you right on the head
Emphasizing the impact of karma, possibly a sudden realization or consequence
You better get yourself together
Advising to gather oneself, possibly to avoid negative repercussions
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
Highlighting the urgency of the situation, suggesting imminent danger or death
What in the world you thinkin' of
Questioning the person's thoughts or actions
Laughin' in the face of love
Observing a seemingly inappropriate response to love or kindness
What on earth you tryin' to do
Asking about the purpose or intention behind certain actions
It's up to you, yeah you
Emphasizing personal responsibility and decision-making
Instant karma's gonna get you
Reiterating the inevitability of karma catching up
Gonna look you right in the face
Foretelling a direct confrontation with the consequences
Better get yourself together darlin'
Encouraging self-improvement and unity with humanity
Join the human race
Calling for inclusion in the broader human experience
How in the world you gonna see
Questioning the ability to understand or empathize with others
Laughin' at fools like me?
Reflecting on the absurdity of ridiculing others
Who on earth d'you think you are
Challenging the individual's perception of themselves
A super star? Well right, you are
Acknowledging a level of fame or recognition
Well, we all shine on
Expressing a shared human quality of radiance or positivity
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Extending the metaphor of shining to celestial bodies
Well, we all shine on
Reiterating the universal nature of radiance
Everyone come on
Encouraging collective participation in positivity
Instant karma's gonna get you
Repeating the warning about impending karma
Gonna knock you off your feet
Emphasizing the force of karma, possibly causing a fall or failure
Better recognize your brothers
Promoting recognition and acceptance of shared humanity
Everyone you meet
Advocating connection and understanding with everyone encountered
Why in the world are we here?
Pondering the purpose of human existence
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Questioning the rationale behind a life filled with suffering and fear
Why on...
Leaving the question open-ended or incomplete
