Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goodness sakes, I ain′t gonna find ya
God is great, He ain't gonna mind ya
Goodness gracious, ...
He′s got the balls, got the keys to find ya
Only just because I've been needing to hide ya
I got my new world taste, got my New York...
I gotta find a new place where the kids are the shit
These boys ... and even the new things
...must be the right things
Only coming clean if there's some kind of deal
I mean I′m only coming clean if there′s some kind of deal
I know I'm only coming clean if there′s some kind of deal, yeah
Cuss your life on the first you think of
... and I knew what
I know the first two places that I wanna check
I know the first two faces that I wanna pick, ah ah
I know the first place that I wanna pick
Cause he's got the balls, got the keys to find ya
Only just because I′ve been needing to hide ya
I got my new fresh face, got my new ...
I gotta find a new place where the kids are mature
Goodness gracious, Great Wall of China
God is great, God is good (repeat)
The song "China" by Broncho is a confusing and enigmatic track that is hard to decipher. The lyrics are repetitive, and the meaning behind them is unclear. However, one interpretation of the song could be about searching for a new beginning, a fresh start. The Great Wall of China, which is mentioned repeatedly in the song, could symbolize a boundary or a barrier. The singer is looking for a way to get past this barrier and move on to a new place where they will be free to be themselves.
The line "God is great, He ain't gonna mind ya," suggests that the singer is not afraid to take risks and make drastic changes. They are willing to leave everything behind and start anew, hoping that God will bless their journey. The mention of "new world taste" and "New York" further emphasizes the idea of a fresh start and moving to a new place.
The chorus ("Goodness gracious, Great Wall of China") is repeated several times throughout the song, making it sound like a mantra or a prayer. The line "God is great, God is good" at the end of the song reinforces this idea, suggesting that the singer is seeking guidance and support from a higher power. Overall, "China" is a mysterious and thought-provoking song that leaves a lot open to interpretation.
