Aerosmith [www.musikaki.blog.br] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been goin' thru, some changes
On a trip yeah, met a lot of faces
No attention, my mind in places
Just a kid who just wanna be the greatest
I been goin' thru, some changes
On a trip yeah, met a lot of faces
No attention, my mind in places
Just a kid who just wanna be the greatest
Greatest, I just wanna be the greatest
But they pull me down with all the hatred
Pour a cup and I get a little faded
"Where you at?" I don't know I'm feelin' jaded
Jaded, and you know that I hate it
'Member when you told me that I wont make it
Now that I did it, you gon' ask me if I'm dating
Well guess what? I don't need to say shit
At this point, I ain't feelin' no doubt
This the life I chose and I ain't never turn around
Tryna push me down but I'm stayin' my ground
When I lost you, it was music I found
I been goin' thru, some changes
On a trip yeah, met a lot of faces
No attention, my mind in places
Just a kid who just wanna be the greatest
I been goin' thru, some changes
On a trip yeah, met a lot of faces
No attention, my mind in places
Just a kid who just wanna be the greatest
I've been going through a lot of changes
But I still see the the same faces
Like I'm crazy
But I know one day I'm gonna make it
To the top and everybody's gonna know this
Nothing can stop a heart that's left for what it loves
I've been feeling wrong, I've been feeling right
Just so many thoughts running in my mind, yeah
Just wait till it's done and I set me free
I been goin' thru, some changes
On a trip yeah, met a lot of faces
No attention, my mind in places
Just a kid who just wanna be the greatest
I been goin' thru, some changes
On a trip yeah, met a lot of faces




No attention, my mind in places
Just a kid who just wanna be the greatest

First hearing this song some time after it released, I was struck by how powerful it was sound-wise. Very much in tune with the time it released, it was Aero for the new gen, yet still was identifiable as Aerosmith in its styling. They have never abandoned their style, even as it has morphed along with the times.

@kalania14

Exquisitely described one of THE best bands period

@PT84

Honestly if you took the vocals off this song I would have thought Train.

@soundpainter2590

@Bigslick904 Oooh... Ugggh.. you "Thaught" ... Train. & I had COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT... Train. & Now you have me thinking about Other, END of ROCK.. 90's bands. I have to Quickly Purge my brain... By listening to something UNREAL. Gotta go.. You just gave me The Musical version of 4 S T D's. In a Comment section. Don't worry about it.. I've seen worse.

I saw Aerosmith in concert when I was fifteen years old, around 1977, in Dayton, Ohio, best concert ever. My ears are still ringing. Love you guys. Keep on rocking!

Saw them in the 90's and they were incredible. Absolutely one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The Stones are tied w them for first place.
