Money
Journey through Chaos: Unraveling the Currency of Life in 'Money'
Lyrics
I went to go see a band play in the basement- everybody was off of their faces
Attended a basement band performance where everyone was heavily intoxicated.
And my teachers in the corner, ripping harder than wax on a shoe
Teachers present at the event were energetically engaged, comparable to the intensity of wax ripping off a shoe.
Collecting dollars from the angels of St. Louis
Gathering money from generous or kind-hearted individuals from St. Louis.
Everybody's at the door and everybody gets thru, everybody gets thru
Everyone gains access or entry, no one is excluded.
And it's just
An emphasis on the following theme or idea.
Money, Money, Money, Money where did all that come from
Repeated mention of money, questioning its origin or source.
And if you don't have the money, honey
Suggesting that without money, one should return to their place of origin.
Then you oughta go back to where you'd come from... where you'd...
A reinforcement of the notion that lacking money suggests one should go back to where they came from.
Sober elitists will chew the fat with grievance that we never seem to wake up
Observation of sober individuals discussing grievances, possibly disconnected from reality.
Live in daylight-scraps, the masked lights are gleaming
Living in a challenging environment where even small moments of positivity shine brightly.
Future young kids, so seemingly impressed about what happens next
The younger generation seems impressed or influenced by what unfolds in the future.
What happens next?
An open-ended question about the future, suggesting uncertainty or anticipation.
There are three people I used to know stuck to the ceiling
Recollection of three people from the past, metaphorically stuck or trapped in a situation.
I tried to get them down they fought me I fought the feeling
Attempting to help those individuals but facing resistance and conflicting emotions.
Sometimes I think that things need to happen for a reason
Belief that events occur for a purpose or cause.
Nights like this are the sweat on your neck t-t-t-tell you it's not that season
Nights like these signify discomfort or unease, contrary to an expected season of comfort.
It's just
Reiteration of the focus on money and its origins.
Money, Money, Money, Money where did all that come from
Repeating the question about the source of money.
And if you don't have the money, honey
Suggesting a link between lacking money and returning to one's origins.
Then you oughta go back to where you'd come from...
Reinforcing the idea of going back to where one came from without money.
And it's just
Reiteration of the focus on money.
Money, Money, Money where did all that come from
Repeated inquiry about the origin of money.
And if you don't have the money, honey
Suggesting a connection between lacking money and returning to one's origins.
Then you oughta go back to where you'd come from...
Reinforcing the idea of returning without money to one's place of origin.
How could I? How could I know? (How could you know?)
Expressing uncertainty or disbelief about knowing something.
How could I? How could I know? (How could you know?)
Reiterating the uncertainty about knowing something, possibly directed at the listener.
