Satisfaction
2-Xtreme Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've been waiting for that kind of lie
Satisfaction guaranteed (closer ahead)
You'll find your way to getting what you like
Love, ambition, or greed (closer ahead)

(Sign) sign up, tick it off, got the numbers
(Try) try this, that missed, don't cry
More stuff, 'til nothing is enough

And I want to try

Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (a paradise in the way)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (a paradise in the way)

(Buried) the rising star
(Deep in the roots) family car
(It's awake) homemade
(Won't come up that easily) television
(Buried) under the waves
(Deep in the roots) of lemonade
(It's awake) worldwide
(Won't come up that easily) exhibition

Paint a picture from, the other side
What you get is what you see (closer ahead)
Could do better if you only tried
Stay connected for free (closer ahead)

(Get) get stuck, nip and tuck, got the hunger
(Full) full steam, wet dream, deep fry
(Feed) feedback is falling through the cracks
And I want to try

Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (a paradise in the way)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (a paradise in the way)

(Buried) the rising star
(Deep in the roots) family car
(It's awake) homemade
(Won't come up that easily) television
(Buried) under the waves
(Deep in the roots) of lemonade
(It's awake) worldwide
(Won't come up that easily) exhibition

Turning the tide
Holding a candle
Up to the sunlight
Fixing the fight
Hoping to try

Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (a paradise in the way)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (bliss awaits)
Heaven (a paradise in the way)

(Buried) the rising star
(Deep in the roots) family car
(It's awake) homemade
(Won't come up that easily) television
(Buried) under the waves
(Deep in the roots) of lemonade

(It's awake) worldwide
(Won't come up that easily) exhibition

Overall Meaning

The song “Satisfaction” by 2-Xtreme talks about the human desire for satisfaction and the endless pursuit of it. The lyrics suggest that people are always searching for something, whether it is love, ambition or greed, and they will keep striving for more until they are content. The chorus of the song uses the idea of "Heaven" to represent a paradise that people are always seeking, whether in their personal lives or through external material things. The verse "Paint a picture from the other side" also implies that people often desire what they don't have and feel like they are missing something that could potentially offer them satisfaction.

The lyrics also make a reference to technology and materialism, with lines like "feedback is falling through the cracks" and "more stuff, 'til nothing is enough", suggesting that people are lost in a world where even when they have it all, they feel like they need more. The song also talks about how things like fame and TV shows - represented by "rising star" and "television," respectively - can be buried deep in people's lives, highlighting how people are prone to getting lost in superficial things.

Overall, “Satisfaction” reminds us that people are always looking for fulfillment, and they go to great lengths to find it, but it's crucial to remember that true satisfaction comes from within, and it's not something that can be found through external means.
