Piano
Brian & Dennis Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Home of the fakes
I ain't going no place
I don't like the chase
You already know
When that look is on my face
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to say
Land of the blood sucker
Home of the snakes
Already got plans
But I ain't going on a date
Got five in my pocket
Got five on my plate
And that five already spent
If you ain't already ate
Land of the blood sucker
Home of the hopeless
Who still have hope
Because they just don't know it's
Already over already over already
The lyrics of Brian and Dennis Wilson's song "Piano" can be interpreted as a commentary on the harsh realities of life in a society characterized by superficiality and false pretenses. The repeated phrases "Land of the blood sucker" and "Home of the fakes/snakes/hopeless" imply a sense of disillusionment and disgust with the people and systems around the singer. The use of the term "blood sucker" evokes images of vampires, suggesting that the people around the singer are draining him/her of energy, resources, and perhaps even life itself.
The second verse introduces the idea that the singer is not interested in pursuing the conventional goals of dating or material wealth. The lines "Already got plans/But I ain't going on a date" suggest that the singer is focused on something more important than romantic relationships. The reference to having "five in my pocket" and "five on my plate" could be interpreted as a metaphor for having just enough resources to survive, but no more. The line "And that five already spent/If you ain't already ate" implies that the singer is generous with the little he/she has, but also that there is no excess or luxury in his/her life.
The final verse repeats the phrase "Already over" three times, emphasizing the idea that the singer has given up on the society he/she lives in. However, the line "Who still have hope/Because they just don't know it's" suggests that there may still be others who believe in a brighter future, even if they are ignorant of the harsh realities of the world around them. Overall, the lyrics of "Piano" convey a sense of disillusionment with modern society, but also a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Land of the blood sucker
This place is full of people who suck the life out of others
Home of the fakes
This is where fake people reside
I ain't going no place
I refuse to go anywhere
I don't like the chase
I don't enjoy pursuing something or someone
You already know
You already understand my perspective
When that look is on my face
My facial expression gives away my emotions
Nothing left to do
There's no more action to be taken
Nothing left to say
There's nothing more to express verbally
Home of the snakes
This is where deceitful people live
Already got plans
I already have things I want to do
But I ain't going on a date
However, I don't want to go on a date
Got five in my pocket
I have five dollars in my pocket
Got five on my plate
I have just enough to get by
And that five already spent
I've already used up all my money
If you ain't already ate
If you haven't already eaten
Home of the hopeless
This is where people who have lost hope live
Who still have hope
But there are some people who still have hope despite the odds
Because they just don't know it's
They don't realize that the hope is already
Already over already over already
Pointing out that hope is lost

sounds a bit like the melody from a song of Brian’s called This isn’t Love
