THE COST OF LIVING
Yearning for a Dream Home: Exploring Desires and Disillusionment
Lyrics
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Desire for a large house in Austin
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
She wanna big she wanna big
Reiteration of the desire for something significant
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
I might be passed out
Indication of potential unconsciousness or fatigue
Did I e-even wanna know what’s going on
Uncertainty about events and a lack of awareness
Do what you want
Encouragement for freedom of action
I just paid for all that animal, Watched you
Financial commitment for an unspecified item related to animals
Toss it out, like a fade away
Comparison to a basketball move, suggesting a casual dismissal
The time is now, for coming home
Recognition of the present moment for returning home
Who did you wrong? I couldn’t tell at all
Difficulty in identifying who caused harm or wrongdoing
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
She wanna big ass house in Austin
-She wanna big she wanna big
Reiteration of the desire for something significant
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
My reach is falling short again
Expressing falling short of reaching a goal or aspiration
Why’d it take so much time to see
Questioning the time it took to gain clarity
Time to see what do you want?
Seeking understanding of personal desires
Don’t believe the pawns it’s time to move on
Advising against trusting insignificant players, advocating for progress
The night is turning dawn
Transition from night to dawn, suggesting a new beginning
Because your thoughts
Uncertain impact of thoughts on actions
I couldn’t get my foot through the door again
Difficulty in overcoming obstacles or challenges
Cause it takes too much time to see
Emphasizing the time required for understanding
That hands down oh I’ve heard
Reference to a gesture or signal indicating danger or failure
That means man down
Suggesting a situation where someone is defeated or in trouble
I might be passed out
Possible repetition of unconsciousness or fatigue
Did you e-even wanna know what’s going on
Similar to line 7, expressing uncertainty about events
Do what you want
Encouragement for freedom of action, echoing line 8
I, just paid for all that animal
Financial commitment for an unspecified item related to animals
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
She wanna big ass house in Austin
-She wanna big she wanna big
Reiteration of the desire for something significant
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
So what it cost me, what it cost me
Reflecting on the cost incurred, possibly beyond financial aspects
That’s two times more than Bosley
Comparison of cost to something or someone named Bosley
Ain’t worth the toppy
Questioning the worth of a specific act or experience
I can’t do that taxes on me
Unable to handle or manage certain responsibilities, possibly related to taxes
Fuck the IRS take the pressure off me
Expression of frustration or opposition towards tax authorities
Fuck the IRS!
Strong rejection or defiance towards the IRS
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
She wanna big ass house in Austin
-She wanna big she wanna big
Reiteration of the desire for something significant
She wanna big ass house in Austin
Repetition of the desire for a large house in Austin
