Like That
!Mc'Lain! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder if you ever take your life and then go measure
I know we have good times, sit back and laugh and then remember
But this world is so cold, like snow that mask all of the winter
So what do we do when nothing last forever

Take a sip of the potion and lean
Probably by now would have ruined my spleen
Scared of no control that’s why I don’t drink
Find my problems in the bottom of bottle then sink
Other people cope with a cloud of the smoke
Me, I’m day dreaming every second when woke
Lucid and human
Can we ever change, gotta prove it
But what’s the real way to really do it?

I wonder if you ever take your life and then go measure
I know we have good times, sit back and laugh and then remember
But this world is so cold, like snow that mask all of the winter
So what do we do when nothing last forever

Life be fast and furious like my name Paul Walker
Galaxies ahead like sky walkers
Tryna pave the way like the slaves and my forefathers
Survival of the fittest always comes down to a dollar
Got a good love but sometimes I do falter
Caught up in my ways, maybe I will never alter, altar
As the earth rotates
Tryna find my balance every hour of the day

I wonder if you ever take your life and then go measure
I know we have good times, sit back and laugh and then remember




But this world is so cold, like snow that mask all of the winter
So what do we do when nothing last forever

Overall Meaning

In !Mc'Lain!'s song Like That, the lyrics delve into thoughts about the fleeting nature of life and the struggle to find purpose and balance. The chorus poses the question of what to do when nothing lasts forever, while the verses reflect on personal experiences and emotions. The opening lines suggest introspection, asking if the listener ever takes a moment to measure their life, perhaps questioning whether they are making the most of their time. Despite good times being had and memories being made, the world is described as cold, like a snow that masks the reality of winter. This seems to represent the fleeting and illusory nature of temporary pleasures and distractions.


The second verse takes a more personal turn, with the artist admitting to fear of losing control, and choosing not to drink for that reason. In contrast, other people use other vices, such as smoking, to cope with problems. The artist admits to daydreaming and searching for a way to change things, but the lyrics hint at a struggle to find a true solution. The final verse contains more personal reflections on the fast pace of life, the struggle for survival, and the desire to make a difference. Despite admiration for those who came before and paved the way, and despite having love and balance in life at times, the artist seems to be caught up in their own ways and searching for equilibrium in the midst of the chaos of daily life.
