Money
Unveiling the True Desire: "Money" by Lime Cordiale
Lyrics
I don't wanna know all the things that you've lied about
The singer doesn't want to know about the lies the other person has told.
I'll find better things to do, than get so fucking down about it
The singer prefers to find more positive things to do rather than getting deeply upset about the situation.
I've got broken bones but which ones, oh who knows?
The singer metaphorically refers to having emotional wounds or hurt, but the specific ones are unknown or ambiguous.
I won't sit here in the dark and cold, getting old and mad without it
The singer refuses to stay in a negative, isolated state, growing old and angry due to the situation.
It's the end of the evening and what is left?
At the end of an event or situation, there's not much remaining.
You're looking around for a lover but not for sex
The person is seeking companionship or love but not solely for sexual reasons.
Can be a fool if you want to 'cause they don't care
One can act foolishly because others don't mind as long as there's money to spend.
As long as there's a dollar that you can spend
Money holds importance as long as there's currency available.
Money
The theme of money becomes prominent.
It's written on your face now
The person's obsession with money is evident from their expression.
All you want is money
The desire for money is the main focus.
But that ain't what I make now
The singer doesn't prioritize money in the same way.
Walk down a different road
Choosing a different path or lifestyle.
At the end, not much to tell your friends about
At the end of this chosen path, there isn't much significant to share with others.
You know you'll never reach that pot of gold
There's an understanding that an elusive, highly desired reward might never be achieved.
Just two kids that you'll argue about
The singer believes the arguing couple won't achieve much in life.
I'll put my money on you're just searching for his money
The singer bets that the person is seeking a partner for their wealth.
Couldn't care what type of week he's had or if he's stuck like honey
The person doesn't care about the partner's week or difficulties, only their money.
Make a lifetime full of small talk pretending he's so funny
Living a life of superficial conversations, pretending the partner is amusing.
You just put that big old smile on, a lapdog to that dummy
The person puts on a fake smile and acts subservient to the wealthy partner.
Money
The repetition reinforces the focus on money.
It's written on your face now
The obsession with money is again evident from facial expression.
All you want is money
Reiterating the singular focus on money.
But that ain't what I make now
The singer contrasts their own values with the singular focus on money.
It's the end of the evening and what is left
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the end of an event or situation.
You're looking around for a lover but not for sex
Desire for companionship without solely seeking sexual gratification.
Can be a fool if you want to 'cause they don't care
Repetition of the idea that one can act foolishly without consequence if they have money.
As long as you can spend
As long as one has money, they can continue to spend without much consequence.
Money
Emphasizing once more the fixation on money.
It's written on your face now

All you want is money
Continuing to highlight the singular desire for money.
But that ain't what I make now
