Lyrics

I just need more money, pay my blues away

I desire more money to alleviate my troubles.

Then maybe I'd be okay

This financial improvement could potentially bring about a sense of well-being.


I just need more light, light up every night

I seek more light to brighten every night, implying a desire for positivity.

And I won't need to sleep

If successful, this would eliminate the need for sleep, possibly symbolizing escapism.


You can't count on a shooting star to fly across the night sky

Expresses skepticism about relying on luck or chance, using a shooting star as a metaphor.

It may never come for you

Highlights the uncertainty of positive outcomes, emphasizing that they may not occur.

But you can look inside, look deep in at the ugly

Suggests introspection, looking at one's flaws ("the ugly") as a potential path to resolution.

And maybe you could befriend the enemy

Encourages embracing or reconciling with the perceived "enemy" within oneself.


I just need some helium, swallow it down

Mentions a desire for helium, symbolizing a wish to rise above or escape from life's challenges.

And float away from everyone

Expresses a desire to distance oneself from others, possibly seeking solitude.


I just need more stuff, maybe in time

Desire for material possessions as a potential source of satisfaction over time.

Enough could be enough

Suggests that accumulating enough material possessions could bring contentment.


You can't count on a shooting star to fly across the night sky

Reiterates the uncertainty of relying on external factors for happiness.

It may never come for you

Emphasizes the unpredictability of positive occurrences, like shooting stars.

But you can look inside, look deep in at the ugly

Repeats the theme of introspection and finding resolution by looking within.

And maybe you could befriend the enemy

Encourages building a connection with one's internal struggles or flaws, personified as the "enemy."

Befriend the enemy

Reaffirms the idea of befriending the internal "enemy" for personal growth or resolution.
