Song 512
Allan Rayman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I measure love by the memories
Bittersweet love tastes the best to me
I'm living life by the moment
I don't let the moment get the best of me
I think a lot when I sit alone
Of what I've done, how I should've known
Now all my love is an empty glass
I drink alone, I found love at last

Well, she's not that fond of me
I spoil her in company
She screams I'm just too fun to be around
She's just another glass of my, my Half Past Whiskey
I've got one shot left
Go

Six shooter, I'm a good shot
Half a tank in the truck, that's a sure shot
No company needed
I find comfort on my own thought
I ain't the type to have a soft spot
Oh, Lord knows I need it, though
I found love with the studio
I found love in a melody
I sit back and watch the beauty go
It's like a movie to me, it's all a movie to me now
I can't tell reality no more
It all feels like I'm in the starring role now

Well, this is all for me, I don't do it for you
Got a problem with me?
Go write a song, see if they follow suit
Well, this is all for me, I don't do it for you
Got a problem with me?
Go write a song, see if they follow suit

Light, camera, action, I'm the boy right now
So watch the boy grow up
It's funny how, it's funny how
I'm 'bout to put the 512 on the map
Got the whole crew going out like that
Getting t-shirt, printed whole crew on the back

She's not that fond of me, I spoil her in company
She screams I'm just too fun to be around
She's just another glass of my, my half-ass whiskey




I've got one shot left
Go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Song 512" by Allan Rayman convey a sense of introspection and self-reflection. The artist measures love by the memories it creates, valuing the bittersweet experiences that leave a lasting impact. Living life in the present moment, he avoids allowing it to overwhelm him. However, when he sits alone, he reflects on his past actions and regrets, realizing that his love has become empty and he now finds solace in drinking alone. Yet, he has finally found love in his music, particularly in the studio and the melodies he creates. It's as if he is watching a beautiful movie unfold before him, blurring the lines between reality and his artistic endeavors.


The artist also addresses the opinion of others, specifically someone who is not fond of him, claiming that they find him too fun to be around. He dismisses their disapproval by stating that if they have a problem with him, they should go write a song themselves and see if others follow suit. He then switches the focus back to himself, highlighting his own growth and success. Referring to himself as the "boy right now," he promises to put the number 512 on the map, presumably representing his own territory or success. He plans to unite his crew, even printing t-shirts with their names on the back, solidifying their bond and collective identity.

She is simply another temporary source of pleasure or distraction in my life, akin to drinking low-quality whiskey


I've got one shot left
I only have one chance or opportunity remaining


Go
Take action or proceed
