Guiding Light
Singapore Sling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ones are gonna (?) and I come in my bed
Take myself your dollar head, let it bring to the ground
I don't wanna anyone 'cause my sweet always found
(Take myself your dollar head, let it bring to the ground
I don't wanna anyone 'cause my sweet always found)
The lyrics to Singapore Sling's song Guiding Light are enigmatic and open to interpretation, but they seem to be describing a journey of self-discovery and finding one's place in the world. The repeated phrase "Take myself your dollar head, let it shine on your hand" could be interpreted as a call to embrace one's own worth and potential, and to let it shine for all to see. The idea of the "dollar head" suggests that our true value goes beyond material possessions or external markers of success.
The second half of the lyrics suggest a sense of contentment and satisfaction with one's lot in life - "Ones are gonna (?) and I come in my bed...I don't wanna anyone 'cause my sweet always found." This could be read as a rejection of the need for external validation or approval, and a recognition that true happiness comes from within. The mysterious, slightly disjointed phrases and repetition of certain lines convey a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere that adds to the song's overall mood of introspection and self-discovery.
