Son of a Gun
DARKHAUS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take time to taste the change of the seasons
I wish I could feel but I hear
What you′re saying
You let time pass by
And never stop to wonder why there's a reason
And that this is all just a game
Hey now, Now look at me
I'm a real big wheel spinnin' free
So don′t ask me ten times how it feels to be number one
I′m just a son of a gun
Big time, Bigger places
In warm sunshine with smiling faces
I climb so high, maybe as fast as you run
I'm just a son of a gun
Hard times, Hate crimes
Rewind to find just a bastion of hope
That ceases to put our existence
In question
Big sky, We fly
We′re high on atmospheric conditions
Conditions we shall overcome
As we're flying
Hey now, Now look at me
I′m a real big wheel spinnin' free
So don′t ask me ten times how it feels to be number one
I'm just a son of a gun
Big time, Bigger places
In warm sunshine with smiling faces
I climb so high, maybe as fast as you run
I'm just a son of a gun
Just a son of a gun
Just a son of a gun
Just a son of a gun
I′m just a son of a gun
Hey now, Now look at me
I′m a real big wheel spinnin' free
So don′t ask me ten times how it feels to be number one
I'm just a son of a gun
Big time, Bigger places
In warm sunshine with smiling faces
I climb so high, maybe as high as the sun
I′m just a son of a gun
Just a son of a gun
Just a son of a gun
Just a son of a gun
(Yeah) I'm just a son of a gun
The lyrics to DARKHAUS's song "Son Of A Gun" explore themes of self-identity, success, and the fleeting nature of fame. The opening lines, "Red wine, Sunshine, Take time to taste the change of the seasons," can be seen as a metaphor for appreciating the passing of time and embracing the different stages of life. The singer of the song acknowledges that they can't fully feel or experience things firsthand, but they can still understand and hear what others are saying.
The chorus emphasizes the contrast between the singer's success and their feelings of being just an ordinary person. They describe themselves as a "son of a gun," implying that despite their accomplishments and high position in life, they are still connected to their humble roots. They reject the notion of being number one and acknowledge that their achievements are not solely based on their own merit but also rely on external factors, symbolized by the mention of warmer places and smiling faces. The song challenges the idea of fame and suggests that it is more important to remain true to oneself rather than getting caught up in the pursuit of success.
Overall, "Son Of A Gun" can be interpreted as a reminder to stay grounded and not let external validation define one's worth. It encourages listeners to appreciate the journey rather than fixating on reaching the top or conforming to societal expectations.
