Superficial
Alesha (Ft. Nasty Jack Stormin Doctor Waricko) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day is like a different flavor
I know it can be superficial
But in the end, there's more that I discover
I'll it break down, what I'm saying
Cos one day you're high
And then the next you're low
It's like a merry-go-round
Anything is possible, I'm feeling good
Oh its what I do if it's all the music's gonna give me
Oh its superficial
But underneath it all, it can be so wonderful
It feels like I'm on a high
But underneath it all, its superficial, yeah
I don't wanna sound ungrateful
I wouldn't change it cos I love what I do
There's a lot of incomplications
I'm getting out the way
But I always fall through
Cos one day you're high
And then the next you're low
You gotta work it out, what living is all about
Cos anything is possible, we're feeling good
Cos we do it just for you
We're getting back what we've given
Oh its superficial
But underneath it all, it can be so wonderful
It feels like I'm on a high
But underneath it all, its superficial, yeah
You got me dazed and confused
I'm loving all that I do
Otherwise I wouldn't pursue
Cos I always live by the truth
And now I ?
Cos I'm living by the rhythm and the blues
I'm gonna tell you about how I made it through
?
Connected physically
A mental stimulation, ya feeling me
Once, twice, and then comes the trilogy
For better or worse, they're still selling me
How ya like the way it sounds?
The way that the beat goes down
?
Cos the rest is superficial
Don't believe the hype
Oh its superficial
But underneath it all, it can be so wonderful
It feels like I'm on a high
But underneath it all, its superficial, yeah
