Axl or Iggy
Reckless Dreams and Broken Smiles: A Tale of Illusions
Lyrics
You thought you were Axl or Iggy
You believed you possessed qualities of Axl Rose or Iggy Pop
But you were nothing like that
In reality, you were nothing like them
But you looked good with a bottle
You looked good holding a bottle
And you smiled like a little brat
You smiled in a childish or bratty manner
And I don't wanna go back
Expressing a reluctance to revisit a place associated with the person described
To your town
Specifically referring to the town associated with the person
You thought you were Axl or Iggy
Reiteration of the person's misguided belief in emulating Axl Rose or Iggy Pop
But then the dream came alive
However, a dream or aspiration became a reality
Then we went out and they bought it all
After achieving success, materialism took over
And then I ran home again
Escaping the situation and returning home
And I don't wanna go back
Reiteration of the reluctance to go back to the town
To your town
Reaffirmation of the desire to avoid returning to the town
You're caving in, you'll save yourself
The person is collapsing under pressure and trying to save themselves
You want it bad like no one else
Expressing a strong desire for something, possibly success
You won't get in, you won't get through
The person is facing difficulty in gaining entry or acceptance
And everyone keeps telling you
Others are advising the person that they won't succeed
You're fine, you're fine, you're fine
Reassurance to the person that they are fine despite challenges
You say it when you drink
The person vocalizes their well-being when intoxicated
How that shrink was on fire
Recollection of an intense or impactful therapy session
When you kicked him in the nuts
A violent act, kicking someone in a sensitive area
And tied him up with wire
Using extreme measures to control or restrain someone
You're fine, you're fine, you're fine
Reiteration of reassurance to the person about their well-being
