Heat Seeker
DREAMERS grandson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Johnny brought a rocket to a knife fight
He got sick of people thinking he′s a good guy
Had a Big Mac head for a small fry
Balenciaga shades so they never see him cry

I've been searching all night
Light the fuse and let me take flight
I′m a
Heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth
Heat seeker and I'm shooting at the moon
Heat seeker, yeah, I'm looking for the way
I′d rather be lost than to stay the same
Heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth
Heat seeker and I′m shooting at the moon
Heat seeker, yeah, I'm looking for the way
I′d rather be lost than to stay the same

Internet killed the video star
Taking selfies while she crashed in her new car
Polyamorous dreams of a teen heart
But she'll never find love in a graveyard

I′ve been searching all night
All alone in my lonely mind

I'm a
Heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth
Heat seeker and I′m shooting at the moon
Heat seeker, yeah, I'm looking for the way
I'd rather be lost than to stay the same
Heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth
Heat seeker and I′m shooting at the moon
Heat seeker, yeah, I′m looking for the way
I'd rather be lost than to stay the same

Don′t mind me I'm up with a 757
Before I come down I better find heaven
I wanna win the rat race, never mind second
The love that I got is forever my weapon
I cock it back and I shoot it
A copycat, I′ma lose it
A stocking cap on my noggin'
Don′t make any sudden movement
I wanna be a pacifist but the peacekeeper
Died on the way to becoming a heat seeker

Heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth
Heat seeker and I'm shooting at the moon
Heat seeker, yeah, I'm looking for the way
I′d rather be lost than to stay the same
Heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth
Heat seeker and I′m shooting at the moon
Heat seeker, yeah, I'm looking for the way
I′d rather be lost than to stay the same

(The same, the same)




(The same, the same)
(I'd rather be lost than to stay the same)

Overall Meaning

The song "Heat Seeker" by DREAMERS grandson is a powerful and thought-provoking piece of music that explores themes of self-discovery, rebellion, and the never-ending quest for truth. The first verse talks about a character named Johnny who brings a rocket to a knife fight because he's tired of being perceived as a good guy. He wears Balenciaga shades to keep his emotions hidden and to maintain his tough exterior. The chorus, "heat seeker, I just wanna find the truth, heat seeker and I'm shooting at the moon, heat seeker, yeah, I'm looking for the way, I'd rather be lost than to stay the same," speaks to the idea that the singer is on a mission to uncover the truth, even if it means losing their way in the process.


The second verse talks about the impact of social media and technology on modern life. The line "internet killed the video star, taking selfies while she crashed in her new car," highlights the idea that our obsession with keeping up appearances online often comes at the cost of our wellbeing in the real world. The final verse talks about the singer's desire to win at all costs, and their struggle to balance their desire for peace with their urge to fight. The lines "I wanna be a pacifist but the peacekeeper died on the way to becoming a heat seeker" demonstrate that sometimes, in order to seek the truth, one must be willing to fight against false narratives and oppressive systems.


Overall, "Heat Seeker" is a powerful and poignant song that encourages listeners to question the status quo and to search for truth in a world of chaos and confusion.

I still love this song and and very grateful Nick and the guys allowed me to be a part of it. We had no idea when putting this song together, and telling this story about seeking truth and finding meaning for yourself, how relevant that message would be with quarantine and shit. It’s crazy. Anyways, hope you are safe and holding up alright wherever you are, and just remember that it’s better to be lost in the process of growing than staying the same. ✖️✖️
