Lyrics
Were you neurotic as a child?
Reflecting on whether the person was overly anxious or obsessive during childhood.
Did they come around and watch you're style?
Suggesting that others observed and judged the person's behavior or appearance.
Did you have plans to be a star?
Asking if there were aspirations to achieve fame or recognition.
Did you have plans to become more than you are?
Questioning whether there were intentions to surpass the current state or status in life.
More than you are,
Repeating the inquiry about exceeding one's current status or achievements.
More than you are,
-More than you are now?
-Maybe being there was far to obscene,
Suggesting that being present or existing in a particular situation was too extreme or outrageous.
Swing it high or swing it low
Encouraging the person to embrace life's ups and downs, to swing high or low, and to move freely.
Swing it anytime that you want to go
-More than you are,
Reiterating the question about aspiring to be more than the current self.
More than you are,
-More than you are now?
-Alright
An exclamation, possibly signaling approval or acknowledgment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing affirmation or enthusiasm.
Alright
Repeating the affirmative sentiment.
Were you neurotic as a child
Recalling the childhood neuroticism and questioning the existence of plans for stardom or self-improvement.
Did they come around and watch you style
-Did you have plans to be a star
-Did you have plans to become more than you are?
-More than you are
Reiterating the theme of aspiring to be more than the current self.
More than you are
-More than you are now?
