Sunrise on the Jersey Shore
Sunrise Dreams: Love, Loss, and the Jersey Shore Saga
Lyrics
He was born with a raging fire
He possessed an intense and passionate nature from birth.
And she was drawn by the heat of desire
She was attracted to him due to her strong feelings of longing and passion.
Together love could only take them higher
Their love together had the potential to elevate them to greater heights.
So they said, that's what all the movies said
They believed in the idealistic portrayal of love depicted in movies.
And he drove a Chevy with a four on the floor
He owned a Chevrolet with a manual transmission, a local symbol of success, but she desired more.
A hometown hero but she wanted more
He was a celebrated figure in their town, yet she yearned for a different life.
They ran away to the Jersey Shore to the sand
They escaped to the Jersey Shore seeking freedom and opportunity.
Sitting on the beach they watched the
While sitting on the beach, they witnessed the
Sunrise on the Jersey Shore
sunrise, symbolizing new beginnings and hope.
Everything and a little bit more
They sought everything life could offer and more.
Someday we're gonna have it all
They held onto the belief that someday they would achieve complete fulfillment.
She was always a slave to fashion and
She was always focused on following the latest trends.
What she wanted cost him plenty of cash
Her desires were expensive, causing financial strain on their relationship.
And she led him on to these crimes of passion
She enticed him into committing passionate but destructive acts.
Now it's gone, it's gone, it's all gone and he played
Now, everything they had is lost due to their actions.
He rolled the dice and he played the cards
He took risks and made decisions, symbolized by rolling dice and playing cards.
Snake eyes and a two of hearts
Despite his efforts, luck was against him (symbolized by snake eyes and a low-value card).
That's all it took just to bust him apart
Those actions were enough to shatter him.
Now it's gone, all the money's gone and all they got is
They lost all their money, leaving them with only
Sunrise on the Jersey Shore
the sunrise symbolizing hope amidst their loss.
Everything and a little bit more
They desired everything life could offer, even beyond their current situation.
Someday we're gonna have it all
They still clung to the hope that they would achieve complete fulfillment someday.
True love and easy money
They aspired for both true love and effortless wealth.
Just like I promised you honey
A promise of a life filled with both love and financial success.
Someday we're gonna have it all
They remained optimistic about achieving their dreams eventually.
They put him up in the county jail
He ended up incarcerated in the local jail.
Nobody there to help or lend him his bail
There was no one available to assist or pay his bail.
No better time for an epic fail
It was a critical moment leading to a significant failure.
So she ran, she thumbed a ride to get away from
She fled, hitchhiking away from
Sunrise on the Jersey Shore
the shore, leaving behind everything, including the sunrise.
Everything and a little bit more
The repetition of the desire for everything and more.
Someday we're gonna have it all
Their ongoing hope for complete fulfillment in the future.
True love and easy money
They longed for both genuine love and effortless wealth.
Just like I promised you honey
Reiteration of the promised life of love and wealth.
Someday we're gonna have it all
The persistent belief that someday they will attain everything.
We're gonna have it, we're gonna have it all
They held onto the belief of achieving complete fulfillment.
