Jackpot
Chasing Life's Jackpot: A Song of Redemption and Second Chances
Lyrics
I'd love to know what it feels like
I desire to experience the sensation
To hit the jackpot one time
Achieving a significant success once
To get a chance at a new life
To have an opportunity for a fresh start
To feel like I got another try
To feel like I have another chance
Been figured out and foiled again
Having my plans uncovered and thwarted again
I been the fool turned cruel and then
Experiencing a personal transformation from foolishness to cruelty
There's always someone crueler than you
Acknowledging that there is always someone more ruthless
There's always gonna be a deeper blue
Acknowledging life will always present greater challenges
There's always gonna be a bit more road
Recognizing that there will always be more difficulties ahead
Most the good stories travelled are tolled
Many well-traveled stories involve tolls and challenges
It takes proximity to know what I know
Understanding requires close proximity or experience
I'm bona fide to sell your soul
Claiming authenticity to trade for success
Most of 'em lied and most of 'em' old
Most people lie, and many are old
Died still wearing all of their gold
People die, but some cling to their material wealth
Gone in a flash, the pistons cold
Life can end suddenly, leaving aspirations unfulfilled
Gone in the flesh, the stories told
Life stories are lost with the passing of individuals
I'd love to know what it feels like
Reiterating the desire to experience success
To hit the jackpot before I die
Expressing the wish to hit a significant jackpot before death
Maybe get a chance at a new life
Reiterating the desire for a chance at a new life
Can you live forever, babe?
Pondering the possibility of eternal life and its cost
Now, can you afford to try?
Questioning if one can afford to pursue eternal life
I'd love to know what it feels like
Repeating the desire to know the sensation of success
I'd love to know what that feels like
Reiterating the longing to know the feeling
It feels like...
Emphasizing the intensity of the desired feeling
It feel like we he hit the jackpot one time
Rephrasing the desire to hit the jackpot once
Tell me, baby
Asking the partner to share their experience
Hit the jackpot one time
Repeating the desire to hit the jackpot once
I wanna know, I wanna know
Expressing a strong curiosity about the feeling
What it feel like one time to hit the jackpot in my prime
Expressing the desire to know the feeling in one's prime
Must feel better than losing the thing
Suggesting that success feels better than losing
Must feel better than earning it, baby
Speculating that success feels better than earning it
Now did you ever earn it, baby?
Asking if the partner ever truly earned success
Tell me, did you ever burn it up, baby?
Asking if the partner ever experienced intense passion
Did you wish you never, never ever hit the jackpot?
Questioning if one regrets hitting the jackpot
Hit the jackpot...
Repeating the theme of hitting the jackpot
