Descendents Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those numbers don't mean a thing
We've got it made
This world is just me and you
And we know just what to do
We've got it made
Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)
Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made)
I don't care if we get a job
We've already got a life
We've got it made
I don't know what the future holds
All I know is you're there with me
That's all I need
Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)
When I look in your eyes
I know what I want in life
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing more, nothing less
(Everything's gonna be okay)
Nothing more, nothing less
(Everything's gonna be okay)
Be the key to my success
Nothing more, nothing less
The Descendents' song "We" is a song about love and companionship. The lyrics express the sentiment that the two people in the song- presumably a romantic couple - don't care about what society thinks of them. The opening line, "Don't care what they say, those numbers don't mean a thing" refers to societal expectations of what success should look like, such as having a well-paying job, a house, a car, etc. The couple is saying that they don't need those things to be happy. They already have everything they need because they have each other.
The chorus of the song reinforces this idea, with the repeated phrase "We've got it made." The couple is confident in their relationship, knowing that they know what to do to make each other happy. They don't need anything else to feel fulfilled in life.
The bridge of the song adds to this feeling of security and contentment. The singer says that they don't care if they have a job because they already have a life, and they don't know what the future holds, but they know that they have each other. The album the song is on is called "Milo Goes to College", which may suggest that the song is about finding love and stability despite the transitional and unpredictable time that is college,
In conclusion, "We" by The Descendents is a song that celebrates the power of love and companionship to provide happiness and fulfillment, rather than material possessions or societal expectations of success.
