Into Money
Unveiling the Price of Success: "Into Money" by Robin Trower Explained
Lyrics
You've got your house, you've got your car
You possess material wealth, including a house and a car.
You live up on the hill among the stars
Your residence is situated on a hill, symbolizing success and prominence among others.
You say you did what you had to do
You claim to have done what was necessary.
But was it really worth what they put you through
Raising the question of whether the sacrifices endured were truly justified.
You know these things we believed in
Reference to shared beliefs or values that seemed to have no impact on you.
It didn't touch you at all
Despite common beliefs, these things didn't affect or influence you.
I hate to see you like this baby
Expressing concern for the distressed state of the person addressed.
With your back to the wall
The person is facing difficulties or challenges with limited options.
You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve
Your courage or determination diminished, possibly due to a past incident.
Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve
Suggesting a loss of control or stability, possibly from a pivotal moment.
You used to talk about bein' free
You used to talk about freedom and independence.
Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe
Now, you are entangled or constrained to the point of suffocation.
You know these things we believed in
Similar to line 5, reiterating the lack of impact on the person's beliefs.
They didn't touch you at all
Reinforcing the idea that the shared beliefs did not influence you.
I hate to see you like this baby
Continuing concern for the person, now emphasizing their challenging situation.
With your back to the wall
Emphasizing the person's difficult circumstances, possibly feeling trapped.
