All 'Bout the Money
Meja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside my mind
When I realize
The crazy things we do
It makes me feel ashamed to be alive
It makes me want to run away and hide
[Chorus]
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dumb dum,
And I don't think It's funny
To see us fade away
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dumb dum,
And I think we got it all wrong anyway
We find strange ways of showing
Them how much we really care
When in fact
We just don't seem to care at all
This pretty world
Is getting out of hand
So tell me how we fail to understand?
[Chorus: x3]
Meja's song "All 'Bout the Money" is a powerful commentary on society's obsession with wealth and money, even at the expense of human values and decency. The opening line, "Sometimes I find another world inside my mind," suggests that the singer is grappling with the harsh reality of the world around her and how it seems to be motivated solely by greed and materialism. When she says, "it makes me feel ashamed to be alive," she is expressing her disillusionment and frustration with the way things are. The chorus makes clear that Meja believes that society's focus on money is misguided and ultimately leads to a loss of humanity and empathy.
The lines "We find strange ways of showing them how much we really care / When in fact we just don't seem to care at all" highlight the absurdity of the situation. People may talk about caring for others, but ultimately their actions speak louder than words, and those actions are often motivated by financial gain rather than genuine concern. The final line of the chorus, "And I think we got it all wrong anyway," is a powerful indictment of the entire system and suggests that society needs to rethink its priorities if we want to create a better world.

Sometimes I find another world
Sometimes I escape reality and create my own world in my mind
Inside my mind
This alternate world exists only in my thoughts
When I realize
When I become aware of
The crazy things we do
Our irrational actions
It makes me feel ashamed to be alive
These actions make me feel embarrassed and regretful to exist
It makes me want to run away and hide
I want to escape and hide from these situations and people who act in such ways
It's all 'bout the money
All this revolves around money
It's all 'bout the dumb dum,
It's all about people being foolish and blinded by money
And I don't think it's funny
I don't find it amusing
To see us fade away
Watching society and individuals deteriorate as a result of this obsession with money
And I think we got it all wrong anyway
Our priorities are misplaced and flawed
We find strange ways of showing
We exhibit peculiar methods of displaying
Them how much we really care
How much we truly care about others
When in fact
However, in reality
We just don't seem to care at all
We do not care at all
This pretty world
This beautiful world
Is getting out of hand
Is becoming chaotic and unmanageable
So tell me how we fail to understand?
Why do we fail to comprehend this reality?

These are pop songs from the 90’s that actually rock. There’s something back then so good you can’t explain.

No Love, No Money = No Money, No Love.
Money (Finance) = Mooney (Lunatic/Crazy, Psychology. Luna is Latin for Moon) = Moon (Astronomy) = Feelings (Astrology) = To stabilise feelings of all, to balance (World Order)
Black & White (Red & Blue) = Grey (Purple) = Everything in whole Universe
