Bad Cash Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but you should know just when to quit
the boy looks better when he laughs
so he's stuck with that forever
aaaah
if you are growing as a man
you will never understand
so it's OK if you are afraid
cause you're growing (grow growing)
you're growing (grow growing)
No it's not me that I'm living for
No it's not me that I'm living for
No it's not me that I'm living for
No it's not me that I'm living for
Aaaah
Oh I hope you start to see
that it's not made for you and me
but then again it's not the end
it's just a phase you have to pass
cause you're growing(grow growing)
you're growing(grow growing)
No it's not me that I'm living for
No it's not me that I'm living for
No it's not me that I'm living for
No it's not me that I'm living for
aaaaah
The lyrics to Bad Cash Quartet's song Heart Attack seem to be a message about the perils of trying too hard to fit in and be something that you're not. The opening lines warn against trying to change too much and losing yourself in the process. The boy in the song is said to look better when he laughs, so he should stick with that forever instead of trying to be something else. The chorus echoes this sentiment by saying "No it's not me that I'm living for," emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself.
The lyrics touch on themes of growing up and understanding oneself. The line "if you are growing as a man, you will never understand" suggests that the process of growth and self-discovery can be difficult, and perhaps impossible to comprehend for those who have not experienced it. The song seems to acknowledge the difficulties of finding one's identity and staying true to it, but ultimately encourages the listener to keep growing and evolving.
The repetition of the line "cause you're growing" throughout the song furthers this message, reminding the listener that change is a natural and necessary part of life. The closing lines offer a message of hope, suggesting that even though it can be difficult, this phase of growth is not the end, but rather a necessary step on the journey.
