Where is the music
Finding Harmony in a Noisy World
Lyrics
Well I'm about to go downtown to see a show
The singer is planning to go downtown to attend a concert.
Just a little bit of funk and some rock n roll
Expecting a mix of funk and rock 'n' roll at the show.
It's time to get moving and have some fun tonight
Expressing the desire to have a good time and enjoy the night.
They claim to be the brand new Beatles of today
The band performing claims to be modern-day equivalent of The Beatles.
I'm thinking that's an odd flex but who am I to say
The singer doubts this claim but refrains from directly criticizing it.
All I wanna know is where is the music
Expressing a curiosity about the essence or true nature of music.
But what do I hear
Questioning what the singer hears in terms of music.
What do I see
Questioning what the singer perceives visually, possibly in the context of music-related media.
Just like the dumb commercials in the TV
Comparing the music industry to shallow, uninteresting TV commercials.
Yeah it aint got no meaning and it got no soul
Conveying that music lacks depth and passion when the primary focus is making money.
When all you think about is how to get the dough
Highlighting the dissatisfaction when financial gain becomes the sole motivation.
It sure aint no fun when you're gettin' none
Expressing that having no fun when not making money.
But gettin paid is never more then gettin shit done
Suggesting that getting paid is more important than personal fulfillment.
And it doesn't really matter how hard you try
Implying that effort might not matter if the intention behind it lacks sincerity.
Doesn't matter what when you only care about why
Emphasizing that the 'why' (purpose) is more significant than the 'what' (action).
Playin it safe and getting lost in the crowd
Criticizing conformity and getting lost in the mainstream.
You just haven't got a clue of what it's really all about
Implying a lack of understanding about the genuine essence of music.
Can you hear me
Asking if the audience can hear the singer.
Can you see me
Asking if the audience can see the singer.
Just tell me what's the point of being so seedy
Questioning the purpose of being shady or dishonest.
Why does it all feel the same
Expressing a sense of monotony or lack of variation in the music.
Ain't no joy playing their game
Stating that there's no happiness in playing by the industry's rules.
And you just can't deny
Acknowledging an urge to rebel against the norms.
Sometimes it makes you wanna take to the sky and fly
Feeling the desire to break free and escape the confines of the norm.
Not a thing wrong tryna keep things simple
Advocating simplicity, implying it's in sync with people's desires.
After all it's just about the will of the people
Asserting that simplicity aligns with the collective will.
There's just one drag that is bugging my mind
Expressing discomfort or dissatisfaction with the limitations of simplicity.
When simplicity is everything you ever gonna find
Implying that simplicity might restrict one's experiences or expressions.
And I'm not tryna turn it upside down
Not interested in flipping things around recklessly.
Ain't no point hatin' round and round like a clown
Rejecting pointless negativity or criticism.
I just wanna show you where is the music
Expressing the desire to reveal the genuine essence of music to others.
Come with me now
Inviting others to join and witness a demonstration or performance.
Let us see how
Encouraging others to observe how things are done in a challenging situation.
Just how we do it when it's time for a showdown
Describing a moment when it's time to compete or face a challenge.
Why does it all feel the same
Reiterating the feeling of monotony or lack of excitement in music.
Ain't no joy playing their game
Stating the lack of joy in conforming to the industry's expectations.
And you just can't deny
Reiterating the desire to break free from the norm and pursue freedom.
Sometimes it makes you wanna take to the sky and fly
Expressing a longing for liberation and the desire to escape the confines of expectation.
