Dear Seattle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So set in mind we don't care what they find
We're all just as sick and dark as they are blind

He said Yeah I don't mind if you don't bother at all
You'll see in time that what you're used to
Is spending time with everyone that you love
But that will die when you don't try

Cause everybody's trying on a fake face hoping that a name change will get what they need
and when the money's gone, you try and get along

You had it, but you lost it, now you want it, but it's gone

She said Make up your mind before I walk out the door
If you just tried then I could fix it
You've got my time and now you're asking for more
I can't get by if you don't try.

Cause everybody's trying on a fake face hoping that a name change will get what they need
But when you're dead and gone, where has the money gone, where has the money gone?

Cause when you're dead and gone where has the money gone
Cause when you're dead and gone where has the money gone
(You had it, but you lost it, now you want it, but it's gone)
Cause when you're dead and gone where has the money gone
(You had it, but you lost it, now you want it, but it's gone)
Cause when you're dead and gone where has the money gone

Yeah I don't mind if you don't bother at all
You'll see in time that what you're used to
Is spending time with everyone that you love
But that will die when you don't try

Cause everybody's trying on a fake face hoping that a name change will get what they need
But when the moneys gone you try and get along, you're trying
But everyone's obsessing on the rat race living in the fast lane it's like a disease
But when you're dead and gone, where has the money gone, where has the money gone?

When you're dead and gone where has the money gone
(You had it, but you lost it, now you want it, but it's gone)
When you're dead and gone where has the money gone

(You had it, but you lost it, now you want it, but it's gone)
When you're dead and gone where has the money gone

Overall Meaning

Dear Seattle's song "Try" explores the unending pursuit of material gain and the toll it takes on individuals and relationships. The opening lines, "So set in mind we don't care what they find / We're all just as sick and dark as they are blind," suggest that society's obsession with wealth and success has blinded them to the more important aspects of life. The chorus highlights the irony of people trying to change themselves to fit in or get ahead, only to realize that they have lost what true happiness they once had. The lines "Cause everybody's trying on a fake face / Hoping that a name change will get what they need" suggest that the desire for material goods is often at the expense of personal identity.

The verse with the lines "You had it, but you lost it, now you want it, but it's gone / She said make up your mind before I walk out the door" is a poignant reminder that chasing after material things can cause one to neglect what is truly important, such as love and relationships. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus and the haunting question, "When you're dead and gone, where has the money gone?"

Overall, "Try" serves as a warning against the dangers of focusing solely on material possessions and the negative impact this has on both the individual and society as a whole.
