Success
3-O-Matic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to go out walking hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'til all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you

You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
And I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home

If we could share an evening now and then
I'm sure we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
Oh, it's funny what success has done to you

You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
And I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
Success has made a failure of our home

I never changed
I'm still the same
I never changed
Stop what you're saying
You're killing me
And am I not your girl?

Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?




Am I not your girl? Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl? Am I not?

Line by Line Meaning

Give me
I don't want medication if I reach out


No prozac if I call
I don't want an escape, just someone to talk to


There's no purpose in watching the fall
Watching people fail won't help them or me


I've inherited a good brain
I'm grateful for my abilities


Bob Geldof in my DNA
I admire people who make a difference


I've seen good people fall
I've witnessed others struggle


Saw the way they deteriorated. I
I noticed how their situation worsened


Took a step back
I distanced myself to gain perspective


Just so I could walk it again
To understand and handle it better next time


Redefining success
Changing what being successful means to me


There's gift in punctured tires
Even difficulties can be opportunities


Hanging on the wire
Holding on despite challenges


Hanging on to the rest. I'll
I'll keep going despite setbacks


Walk a little further
Keep pushing myself


To redefine the process. I'll
Changing my approach to achieve my goals


Walk till I get tired
Working hard until I can't anymore


Of that beating inside if my chest
My inner motivation and drive


If I'm on a curve, it's only ascension
I'm always moving upwards and onwards


Call me Junko Tabei
I'm inspired by strong women who persevere


When life gets tuff that's temptation
Challenges can be alluring and rewarding


And I know the stakes
I'm aware of what's at risk


There's no secret to success
There's no shortcut to achieving my dreams


So, I'm a danger to myself
I'm taking risks and pushing myself to the limit


The game is in danger I call it a check
My actions have consequences and impact


I take it upon myself to take responsibility
I own up to my mistakes and their consequences


For the bullshit that overtakes. I've
I'm battling distractions and obstacles


Started controlling what's coming
I'm taking charge of my life and direction


I cherish the bonds that I love. I am
I value and care for what's important to me


Tryin'a be more caring
I want to be a kinder and more empathetic person


Trying to keep it above
Striving to maintain a positive attitude and outlook


Cause there's shit that needs explaining
There are unresolved issues and problems


They warned us life was coming
People warned us that life would be challenging


We chose to ignore 'em nevertheless (Ain't nobody wanna hear me talking)
Despite warnings, we still disregard problems


Divided I'm stuck
I'm conflicted between different priorities


Between money and happiness
Choosing between material success and personal fulfillment


Cause there's no place in this world
Money is necessary in today's society


Without money, you're powerless
Without financial stability, it can be hard to succeed


So, give me
I want


No prozac if I call
Someone to talk to, not just medication


There's no purpose in watching the fall
Watching people fail doesn't benefit anyone


Give me
I want


No prozac if I call
Someone to talk to, not just medication


There's no purpose in watching the fall
Watching people fail doesn't benefit anyone

Success
I want your soul under my control
I'll make you move and back for more
I look what's next.
The devil in your soul for the power, gold and sex
... when you see me near
I'll make you move to the devil's groove
The key of life without a mess. Success

All I want is success what I give my soul
All I need is the power to take it all
All I want is success what I give my soul
All I need is the power to take it all


Success is the rhythm of the human nation
Success is the beat to make your dreams come true
Success is the rhythm and the good vibration
Tell me devil what I have to do.
Success

Success. American Express

I'll make you move to the devil's groove
You feel the heat between the sheets
... when you see me near
I want your soul is the power of gold
You grab and hold cause I own your soul
I'll make you move to the devil's groove
To make big money without a stress. Success
All I want is success what I give my soul...

Stars, money, cash and cars
Women, ..., movie stars
You sold your soul for a piece of gold
I've got control. Success
