Money To Burn
Echoes of Excess: Facing the Abyss with Money to Burn
Lyrics
Whatcha' gonna do when the gates of hell open up and pull you in
Contemplating the consequences when faced with inevitable troubles or hardships represented metaphorically as the gates of hell opening.
Whatcha' gonna do when you get knocked down by the force of the rushing winds
The anticipation of being overwhelmed or knocked down by powerful, uncontrollable forces like rushing winds.
Whatcha'gonna do when the floors of heaven open up and you fall back down
Anxiety about a fall from a seemingly heavenly state or positive circumstance.
Whatcha' gonna do when you cry for help but you know nobody's around
Feeling isolated and helpless during a time of need despite seeking assistance.
You got everything you ever wanted
Despite having everything desired, there's persistent dissatisfaction.
But I still hear you complain
An observation of continuous complaints despite having one's desires fulfilled.
Hate to say it but I think it's worth it
Suggesting a realization that the situation might warrant the dissatisfaction.
We're gonna die if we don't change
Warning about the consequences of inaction, implying impending doom if changes aren't made.
Well you can't eat money and can't drink oil
Highlighting the inability of material wealth (money, oil) to sustain life.
No where left to turn but you got money to burn
Despite having resources, there's a lack of options or solutions, only having excess money.
Whatcha' gonna do when it all caves in and the world comes tumbling down
Contemplating the collapse of everything, the impending downfall of society or personal life.
Whatcha' gonna do when the oceans rise and the thunder raddles the ground
Fear of catastrophic events, such as rising sea levels and natural disasters.
Who you gonna call on judgement day when you stand before your god
The concern about facing consequences or judgment for actions before a higher power.
Whatcha' gonna say to save yourself from your sins and your facade
Desire to find a way to absolve oneself from guilt or wrongdoings.
You got everything you ever wanted
Despite having desires fulfilled, there's an acknowledgment of dissatisfaction.
But I know that's not enough
Acknowledging that material possessions don't equate to fulfillment.
Well the times are surly changing
Suggesting a realization that significant changes are occurring, signifying an end.
Seems the end has just begun
Implying the approaching end or conclusion of a situation.
Well you can't eat money and can't drink oil
Reiterating the inability of material wealth to solve impending problems.
No where left to turn but you got money to burn
Despite wealth, there's no viable solution or escape.
You got everything you ever wanted
Reiteration of having everything but still being dissatisfied.
But I still hear you complain
Observation of continued dissatisfaction despite having desires fulfilled.
Hate to say it but I think it's worth it
Suggesting a realization that the dissatisfaction might be justified.
We're gonna die if we don't change
Warning about impending consequences if there's no change in behavior or actions.
Well you can't eat money and can't drink oil
Highlighting the inability of material possessions to save from impending issues.
No where left to turn but you got money to burn
No viable solution or refuge despite having excess money.
Money to burn
Reiteration of having excess resources without a meaningful purpose.
