Chasing Freedom: Life Through Iris's Eyes
Lyrics
My friend Iris, she lives in a van.
Introduction of Iris, who lives in a van, prioritizing saving money for essentials or personal enjoyment.
Saves her money to spend it when she can.
Iris saves money for future spending on necessities or leisure.
On food or gas or an album to last her her next trip
She spends her money on essentials like food or gas, and occasionally on an album for her travels.
My friend Iris, is doing alright
Stating that Iris is managing fine in her life.
Both her parents approve of her life
Her parents approve of her chosen lifestyle.
Of riding around till she's tired and parking by beach signs
Iris enjoys traveling until she feels tired and then parks near beach signs.
So I'll ride around with her till the Volkswagen dies
The singer will join Iris in her adventures until their vehicle, Volkswagen, stops functioning.
My friend Iris believes in a God
Iris believes in a deity.
And if she prays right, he'll give her what she wants
She believes that if she prays correctly, her desires will be granted.
But I've tried kneeling and I haven't heard anything back
The singer has prayed but hasn't received any response, contrasting with Iris's beliefs.
Iris found Him driving through Santa Cruz
Iris felt a spiritual connection while driving through Santa Cruz.
Silly me thought I found him through you
The singer initially believed they found a similar connection through someone else (possibly the person the singer was romantically involved with).
But she got a record deal and all I got was bad news
Iris achieved success with a record deal, while the singer received disappointing news.
Iris is singing 'Good Vibrations' and I'm stuck here singing the blues
Iris is enjoying success, singing joyfully while the singer feels melancholic and stuck.
Ooo, I quit my job I moved back home
The singer quit their job and returned home.
Ooo, tryna find religious repose but
Attempting to seek spiritual solace but not finding it.
Ooo, all I got was fear of missing out
Despite efforts, the singer is left with a fear of missing out.
Guess rules don't apply when you feel as alive as Iris
The singer realizes that rules or norms don't matter when feeling as alive as Iris does.
Oooh Iris
Reiteration of admiration for Iris.
I wanna live like my friend Iris
The singer aspires to live a life akin to Iris's.
I wanna live like my friend Iris
-I wanna live like my friend Iris
-I wanna live like my friend Iris
-Ooo, I quit my job I moved back home
Repetition of the singer's attempt to find meaning but feeling the rules don't apply when feeling alive like Iris.
Ooo, tryna find religious repose but
-Ooo, all I got was fear of missing out
-Guess rules oh don't apply when you feel as alive
-Don't apply when you feel as alive
-Don't apply when you feel as alive as Iris
-Oh Iris. Yeayea yeah
Ending with a reiteration of Iris's vibrancy.
