Good Life
Captain Kidd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Were chasing high life on the screen
were taking pills just to fall sleep
its not enough baby just to feel
emptyyy

were making headlight memories
packed in a car going nine to three
were burning of the history, this weeeek

maybe IIIIII'm
caught up in this chasing bluer skyes
wasting away till the summertime
lost in this plastic paradise
this paradise

were on the ...
on the ... home
got the habits
we dont disclose
its the good life
and it doesnt mean anything
yeaah

were on the
on the ... home
got the habits
we dont disclose
its the good life
and it doesnt mean anything
yeaah

youve got those ... memories
a different girl for a different week
when you griiief

maybe IIIII'm
caught up in this chasing bluer skies
wasting away till the summertime
lost in this plastic paradise
this paradise

were on the...
on our way home
got the habits
we dont disclose

its the good life
and it doesnt mean anything

Overall Meaning

Captain Kidd's "Good Life" is a song that talks about the negative effects of chasing the high life that we see on our screens. The song starts with the line "we're chasing high life on the screen," which suggests that we are all addicted to the idea of living the perfect life as portrayed on social media. The next line, "we're taking pills just to fall asleep," highlights the fact that many people are struggling with anxiety and depression due to this constant search for the perfect life.

The next lines "it's not enough baby just to feel, empty" is talking about how despite all our efforts to live the perfect life, we still feel empty and unfulfilled. The song then talks about how we're making memories on the road, but they feel empty because they don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. The chorus of the song talks about how we're on our way home with our undisclosed habits, and how we're living the good life, even though it doesn't mean anything.

The song is a commentary on the emptiness people feel as they try to live a perfect Instagram-worthy life. The lyrics suggest that people are doing things that seem good on the surface but are ultimately unfulfilling. The catchy tune and the repetitive chorus make the song feel almost bittersweet as it talks about the longing for something more.
