Chunk
Bell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On our lot is a five and dime
It's pulled the curtain over Father Time
And I was there just yesterday

I count my money as I wait in line, I don't
I even know a why buy-in
Maybe just to pass the time
'Cause I hate change
And givin' all away
To stay the same
With holes in my pockets

And I could measure it in five's or ten's
I could lose my count and then I'd start again
I could even do it in darkest
But I heard
That the only way to do it right would be
To count the miles and years gone by
Then you'd blink and I'd appear
And I'd be near

On our way, on our way, on our way to
Build a tower so the tallest peak can reach you
Hope I stare for hours, hours, hours

On our way, on our way, on our way to
Build a tower so the tallest peak can reach you
It'll take us hours, hours, hours

On our way, on our way, on our way to
Build a tower so the tallest peak can reach you
Hope I stare for hours, it'll take us hours, what a load of hours I would...

On our way, on our way, on our way to
On our way, on our way, on our way to
Build a tower so the tallest peak can reach you
Build a tower so the tallest peak can reach you




Hope I stare for hours, hours, hours
Hope I stare for hours, hours, hours

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bell's song "Chunk" describe the singer's experience at a five and dime store, where they count their money and wait in line. The singer muses about their aversion to change, and their desire to stay the same, even if it means having holes in their pockets. They contemplate different ways to count their money, but ultimately come to the realization that the only way to measure time is by counting the years that have gone by. The repetition of the phrase "on our way to build a tower so the tallest peak can reach you" suggests that the singer is on a journey or mission to achieve some lofty goal, perhaps to impress or reach someone or something they perceive to be important.


The first stanza describes the mundane experience of waiting in line at a store, but it also highlights the singer's reluctance to part with their money and desire to maintain the status quo. The second stanza then contrasts the idea of counting money with the concept of measuring time, suggesting that while money can be counted and accumulated, time is more elusive and intangible. The repeated chorus reinforces the idea of a journey or mission, and the desire to build something impressive that can be seen from afar.


Overall, the lyrics of "Chunk" invite the listener to reflect on the passing of time and the meaning of progress and achievement. While the singer may initially seem resistant to change, the song ultimately suggests that growth and moving forward can be valuable experiences.
