Scooter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been searching for a place called home
I know that I've been cold as ice
Ignored the dreams, too many lies
Somewhere deep inside, somewhere deep inside me
I found, the child I used to be
And I know that it's not too late
Never
3 AM
The painted cow
Yeah
You ain't stoppin' us now
(Wonderful human beings) (Hey)
Yeah, I am the junglist soldier
Come on
The rocket launcher stopped ya (hey)
It's not a bird, it's not a plane
It must be Dave who's on the train
Wanna wanna get'cha, gonna gonna get'cha
Tell 'em that I told ya
Yeah
Always lived my life alone
Been searching for a place called home
I know that I've been cold as ice
Ignored the dreams, too many lies
Somewhere deep inside
Somewhere deep inside me
I found, the child I used to be
And I know that it's not too late
Never
Too late
Alright
Are you ready? It's not a game
I chant so much, I turn you insane
Wanna wanna get'cha, gonna gonna get'cha
Messing up the area, yeah (hey)
Come on (hey)
I am the freshman
Messing up the jam
Turning up the stereo
Join the caravan (hey)
Skippy, the rain won't come
Somewhere deep inside
Somewhere deep inside me
I found, the child I used to be
And I know that it's not too late
Never
Too late
The first few lines of the song capture the essence of the singer's isolation - "Always lived my life alone, Been searching for a place called home." He admits to being cold as ice and having ignored his own dreams. However, somewhere deep inside him, he is filled with the spirit of the child he once was. He has a renewed sense of hope that it's not too late to pursue his dreams even though he may have been lost in life so far. As the song progresses, it doesn't make a whole lot of coherent sense as the lyrics are mainly jumbled words and phrases. However, there are key recurring themes of transformation and self-discovery, which are represented by the child within and the transition into being a "junglist soldier."
The line "3 AM, The painted cow" doesn't have much discernible meaning. It's unclear whether it's a reference to anything specific, or if it was just a random phrase that sounded good when set to the music. The same can be said of "It's not a bird, it's not a plane, It must be Dave who's on the train." These lines seem to serve more as nonsensical fillers rather than adding any meaningful content to the song. However, the song overall speaks to the need for people to discover their true selves and have the courage to pursue their dreams despite the many lies and obstacles in life.
