Lyrics
Is this the life you really wanted now
Questioning if the current life is desired.
Is this the dream you had when you were young
Reflecting on whether the present aligns with childhood dreams.
Let’s take it back to where we started from
Suggesting a return to the origin or a simpler time.
Let’s take it back before the wheels were fallin’ off
Urge to revisit a time before problems arose.
Thought you’d never grow old
Expressing surprise at aging.
That’s what you’ve been sold
Indicating a realization that ideals were oversold.
All American kids stay forever gold
Reference to an enduring, golden American youth.
Don't wanna think about it
Reluctance to ponder certain aspects of life.
Praise god for the bottle on a Sunday morning
Thankfulness for a coping mechanism (alcohol) on Sundays.
Wanna get you higher
Desire to elevate or uplift someone's state of mind.
Wanna get you higher oh
-Wanna get you higher
-Wanna get you higher oh
-Is this the life you really wanted now
Reiteration of questioning current life choices.
Boy put yourself together before the blackout
Encouragement to regain composure before a crisis.
Wanna get you higher
Continued desire to elevate or uplift.
Wanna get you higher oh
-Hold your songs like a snake charmer
Metaphorically holding onto songs with charm.
Clap your hands to every word that’s been wrote before
Encouragement to appreciate established wisdom.
I know you always been a big talker
Acknowledging a tendency to boast without original ideas.
I know you never had an idea of your own
Highlighting a lack of personal creativity.
Got a wife in need
Responsibilities and dependencies on family.
Another mouth to feed
Additional responsibilities and needs.
Monkey on your back
Metaphorical burden or addiction.
From your family tree
Effects of issues within the family lineage.
You leave your babies ‘cause you need a crowd
Abandoning family for the sake of social validation.
Praise God for the wheels when they rollin’ out
Gratitude for societal support when leaving.
Wanna get you higher
Continued desire to elevate or uplift.
Wanna get you higher oh
-Wanna get you higher
-Wanna get you higher oh
-Is this the life you really wanted now
Reiteration of questioning current life choices.
Boy put yourself together before the blackout
Encouragement to pull oneself together before a crisis.
Wanna get you higher
Continued desire to elevate or uplift.
Wanna get you higher oh
-True redemption
Repeated emphasis on the concept of "True Redemption."
True redemption
-All your life you’ve been waiting for it
-All you life you’ve been waiting for
-True redemption
-True redemption
-True redemption
-True redemption
-All your life you’ve been waiting for it
Reiteration of waiting for and achieving redemption.
All you life you’ve been waiting for
-True redemption
-True redemption
-Honestly I can’t even think about tomorrow
-Just lay right here and calm the fears that only you know
-Some day the light of the Lord will find us
-Just might be the day
