Capital
Stray from the Path Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is capital, we all can't be movie stars, can't have Hollywood
This is capital
But we can lose these wants and set ourselves free instead
We'll watch their perfect world collapse as we paint the towns red
We all can't be lawyers, can't be doctors
This is capital, we all can't be movie stars, can't have Hollywood
This is capital
We all can't be lawyers, can't be doctors
This is capital, we all can't be movie stars, can't have Hollywood
This is capital
We all can't be lawyers, can't be doctors
This is capital, we all can't be movie stars, can't have Hollywood
This is capital
We all can't be lawyers, can't be doctors
This is capital, we all can't be movie stars, can't have Hollywood
This is capital
We all can't be lawyers, can't be doctors
The lyrics of Stray from the Path's song Capital express the societal pressure to conform to the expectations of society. The lines "we all can't be lawyers, can't be doctors" and "we all can't be movie stars, can't have Hollywood" imply that there are certain professions and lifestyles that are considered ideal or successful in our capitalist society. The refrain "this is capital" reinforces the idea that this pressure to conform is a product of living in a capitalist world.
However, the song offers an alternative perspective. The line "but we can lose these wants and set ourselves free instead" suggests that we don't have to conform to these expectations in order to be happy or successful. By rejecting these societal norms and painting the towns red, we can find our own paths to freedom and fulfillment. The lyric "we'll watch their perfect world collapse" suggests that rejecting these expectations can lead to a revolution or a shift in the status quo.
Overall, the lyrics highlight the tension between the pressure to conform and the desire for individuality and freedom. Stray from the Path encourages listeners to reject societal norms and find their own paths, even if it means going against the grain and challenging the status quo.
