Matrix
Emmy Meli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I'm starving and broke
At least you don't gotta be rich
To know that I'm woke
Bitches asking who my surgeon is
And I just tell them God
Daddy said my can do attitude will get me very far
Bland cereal they don't have trix
Everybody knee deep for the riches
Only care about who everybody else is
Another day lost in the Matrix
Nobody looking for all the puzzle pieces
Only care about the weed and the bitches
Another day lost in the Matrix
Another day
Another day
Another day
Lost in the Matrix
I just light another cigarette
American blue spirit to curb my appetite
Roll my jeans up so they don't get wet
Don't let their words get to my head
I'm all bark and no bite
Bite bite brains telling me to be quiet quiet
Work my shit out I'm trying trying
Jet blue on the grass I'm so fly high
Under the giving tree we're all lying lying
Notice me notice me notice me notice me
Everybody pleads
Everybody's needs
Bruises on everybody's knees
Notice me notice me notice me notice me
Everybody pleads
Everybody's needs
Bruises on everybody's knees
Another day lost in the Matrix
Bland cereal they don't have trix
Everybody knee deep for the riches
Only care about who everybody else is
Another day lost in the Matrix
Nobody looking for all the puzzle pieces
Only care about the weed and the bitches
Another day lost in the Matrix
Another day
Another day
Another day
Lost in the Matrix
I've got a secret
If I told you could you keep it
Did you know that were all dreaming
You've got a secret
And everyone has seen it
We're asleep when we're awake
The lyrics of Emmy Meli's song "Matrix" depict a sense of disillusionment and frustration with society. The opening lines, "I've been eating dreams for breakfast/Cause I'm starving and broke," suggest that the singer is desperate for something more substantial in their life. They acknowledge that material possessions do not equate to being "woke" or aware of the state of the world. The line "Nobody looking for all the puzzle pieces/Only care about the weed and the bitches" further emphasizes this sentiment.
The repetition of "Another day lost in the Matrix" highlights the singer's feeling of being trapped in a system or society that values superficiality over substance. The reference to "American blue spirit" and "weed" suggests that the singer may be using substances to cope with this feeling. However, they also express a determination to persevere, stating "Don't let their words get to my head/I'm all bark and no bite."
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer sees through the facade of societal norms and materialism and desires something more meaningful. The reference to dreaming and being "asleep when we're awake" adds a layer of existentialism, implying that perhaps reality itself is an illusion.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been eating dreams for breakfast
Cause I'm starving and broke
I am so desperate for success that I am consuming my own ambition.
At least you don't gotta be rich
To know that I'm woke
Awareness is not tied to monetary status, and I am self-aware even with my financial status.

And I just tell them God
People inquire about my improvements, but I attribute my success and improvements to a higher power.

My father instilled in me that my positive attitude will take me to great heights.
Another day lost in the Matrix
Bland cereal they don't have trix
Everybody knee-deep for the riches
Only care about who everybody else is
Everyday is a mundane repetition of consuming the same things and only seeking wealth and status, instead of individuality.
Nobody looking for all the puzzle pieces
Only care about the weed and the bitches
People are not interested in solving life's mysteries and only care about pleasure-seeking and sexual conquests.
I just light another cigarette
American blue spirit to curb my appetite
Roll my jeans up so they don't get wet
Don't let their words get to my head
Smoking is my coping mechanism and protection against harsh external criticisms that can affect my self-esteem.
I'm all bark and no bite
Bite bite brains telling me to be quiet quiet
Work my shit out I'm trying trying
Jet blue on the grass I'm so fly high
Under the giving tree we're all lying lying
I may talk big, but my internal struggles often hold me back. I try to work out my issues, but it's a slow process, but I have moments where I feel on top of the world. Underneath it all, we are all flawed and seeking refuge.
Notice me notice me notice me notice me
Everybody pleads
Everybody's needs
Bruises on everybody's knees
Notice me notice me notice me notice me
Everybody pleads
Everybody's needs
Bruises on everybody's knees
Everyone is screaming for attention and validation, and in doing so, they wear themselves down and become beaten.
I've got a secret
If I told you could you keep it
Did you know that we're all dreaming
You've got a secret
And everyone has seen it
We're asleep when we're awake
We all hold elusive secrets and reality is subjective to our consciousness.
