Ship Rolls In
Sailing to Success: Embrace Life's Ups and Downs with Faster Pussycat
Lyrics
Shake it, don't break it, baby
Encouraging someone to dance or move energetically without causing harm
You gotta let you hair hang down
Advising to be carefree and uninhibited
I eat my dinner right out of a garbage can
Expressing a non-traditional or rebellious attitude towards dining
I got my clothes from the lost and found
Indicating a lack of financial means and reliance on discarded clothing
You gotta roll with the punches, spin like a top
Encouraging resilience and adaptability to challenges
I don't have much but I've got a lot of personality
Highlighting a strong and distinctive personality as a valuable asset
And that's all that counts
Emphasizing the significance of personality over material possessions
When my ship rolls in, I'll be ready, oh yeah
Expressing anticipation and readiness for success or good fortune
And I'll be struttin' my stuff through the high class part of town
Imagining confidently navigating an affluent part of town when successful
When my ship rolls in, I'll be ready
Reiterating the readiness for success when the opportunity arises
Dazed and kinda lazy
Describing a state of confusion or lethargy
I was bailing out my boat with one hand
Metaphorically dealing with challenges and keeping afloat
Movin' closer and closer to the green silver coast
Approaching a desirable and prosperous destination
I wasn't happy 'til my feet hit the sand
Expressing contentment upon reaching a preferred location
You gotta eat right through the bone, gotta chip away the stone
Metaphorically suggesting the need to overcome difficulties and obstacles
I got rocks in my head and my pants
Indicating a metaphorical burden or mental challenge
You're a land lover baby, and I'm your supply and demand
Describing a relationship dynamic where one provides what the other needs
When my ship rolls in, I'll be ready, oh yeah
Reiterating the anticipation and preparedness for success
And I'll be struttin' my stuff through the high class part of town
Envisioning confidently displaying oneself in an affluent setting
When my ship rolls in, I'll be ready
Stating the continued readiness for success when the time comes
Shakin' it
Expressing excitement or energy through physical movement
Drivin' real fast in my limousine
Describing a luxurious and fast-paced lifestyle
I got two girls in the back, it's the American dream
Highlighting the pursuit of the American dream with material success
There's so much money but so little time
Reflecting on the paradox of having wealth but limited time
It seems like yesterday I didn't have a dime (not a dime)
Contrasting the present wealth with a past lack of financial resources
Got me a mansion and a swimming pool, living this luxury is totally cool
Celebrating the opulent lifestyle and expressing contentment
It's a long way from the bottom and a short drop from the top
Acknowledging the journey from hardship to success
Now that my ship's come in I ain't gonna stop
Asserting determination to continue thriving after achieving success
