Good Times
Embracing Life's Moments: "Good Times" by Jo and Swiss Knife
Lyrics
It´s Sunday night for everybody
Setting the scene of Sunday night for everyone.
But l 'm living on a Friday afternoon
The narrator feels as if they are living in the carefree spirit of a Friday afternoon.
I feel relaxed and motivated
The narrator is relaxed and motivated, not concerned about obligations.
Don't give a shit about I should do
Expressing a disregard for societal expectations or obligations.
Let´s have some beers, one or a hundred
Suggesting a desire to enjoy life with friends, using beers as a symbol of celebration.
Commemorate that we're still alive
Celebrating the fact of being alive despite life's challenges.
Let´s have some herbs and live like gamblers
Advocating for a carefree and adventurous lifestyle, using herbs as a metaphor.
And celebrate that one day we will die
Recognizing the inevitability of death and encouraging celebration in the present.
COME ANO SHARE YOUR GOOD TIMES
Inviting others to share in the narrator's good times and asserting independence from societal expectations.
COME ANO SHARE YOUR BAO TIMES
-COME ANO SHARE YOUR GOOD TIMES
-'CAUSE WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU
-COME ANO SHARE MY GOOD TIMES
Similar to the previous lines, emphasizing the narrator's self-sufficiency.
COME ANO SHARE MY BAO TIMES
-COME ANO SHARE MY GOOD TIMES
-'CAUSE YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME
-You're not allowed to wish or linger
Restrictions on expressing wishes or dwelling on the past due to emotional scars.
, cause none our hearts is free from scars
Highlighting emotional scars on hearts, implying a lack of complete freedom.
Our faces get plenty of wrinkles
Physical signs of aging are acknowledged, symbolizing a life fully lived.
And that means that we lived our only chance
Interpreting wrinkles as evidence of seizing life's opportunities.
lt's time to cry and rise up glasses
Encouraging various expressions of joy and acceptance of past mistakes.
lt's time to sing and shake the blues away
-lt's time to dance and move our asses
-And to congratulate on our mistakes
-CHORUS
Referencing a chorus, likely a repeated section emphasizing the theme of celebration.
And if you work tomorrow morning tell your boss to go to hell
Encouraging defiance against work obligations, suggesting a carefree attitude.
And if you're rushing the bartender you can fall into the well
Suggesting reckless behavior at the bar, possibly as a metaphor for enjoying life without worries.
And if you don 't know how to play you can sing and clap your hands
Encouraging participation in joyful activities, even if one doesn't know how to play along.
And if you think that we're all crazy you should take a look at yourself
Challenging others to self-reflect before judging the perceived craziness of the narrator's lifestyle.
