With The Notes In My Ears
Peter Broderick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the notes in my ears
And the ones I often mimicked
With the notes in my fingers
And my bed is on the floor
Yes, my bed is on the floor
Of one of the ones I often dreamt of
And that's why I know that
I can say I'm lucky today
And that's how I know that
It's time to be brave

The fact that Broderick's bed is in "one of the ones" he often dreamt of signifies that he may have achieved his musical aspirations or goals, yet he remains modest and grounded.
Broderick's reflective tone shifts in the chorus as he declares himself "lucky" and "brave." These words suggest that he has realized his dreams and is now taking pride in his musical abilities. The phrase "with the notes in my ears" is repeated, emphasizing the importance of music to Broderick and how it has shaped his life. The song's simple structure and gentle melody complement the introspective nature of the lyrics, which provoke individuals to reflect on their own life journeys and which forces them to acknowledge the potential impact of pursuing one's passions.
Overall, Peter Broderick's With The Notes In My Ears highlights the power of music in shaping one's experiences and perspectives. The song also possesses a sense of humility and groundedness, reminding us that despite our successes, it is important to remain humble and reflective.

Oh, the ones I often dreamt of
The people whom I frequently fantasized about
With the notes in my ears
All while listening to music
And the ones I often mimicked
The people whom I often imitated
With the notes in my fingers
While playing music myself
And my bed is on the floor
My bed is not elevated or situated properly
Yes, my bed is on the floor
I confirm that my bed is not elevated
Of one of the ones I often dreamt of
In the living space of someone I idolized
And that's why I know that
This informs my understanding that
I can say I'm lucky today
I am fortunate at this moment
And that's how I know that
This is how I came to realize that
It's time to be brave
I need to exhibit courage and boldness now

Oh los que a menudo soñé
con las notas en mis oídos
y los que a menudo imitaba
con las notas en mis dedos
y mi cama está en el suelo
Sí, mi cama está en el suelo
de uno de los que a menudo soñaba
con las notas en mis oídos
y es por eso que sé que puedo decir
Tengo suerte hoy
y así es como sé que es hora
ser valiente

I never watch grey's anatomy; but it never seizes to amaze me how they beat me to bands. Even when I think I've totally found some obscure ones. One of these days grey's...
