Five-O
JAMES (live) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your salvation
For something
For some thrills
Is a body of work
For your inspection?
You can trace
Trace my concerns
I've been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I've been afraid
Of what's before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go
The less you know
The less I know
I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Can you take my weight?
Are we both too small?
Know each other well
We've met before
Will we grow together?
Will it be a lie?
If it lasts forever
Hope I'm the first to die
Will you marry me?
Can we meet the cost?
Is the power of love
Worth the pain of loss?
Can you pay the bill?
Will you keep the change?
Are you here for the party?
Or are you here for the pain?
I can feel the fate
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Will we grow together?
Will we be a lie?
If it lasts forever
Hope I'm the first to die
Hope I'm the first to die
The lyrics of "Five-O" by JAMES (live) explores the theme of love and relationships. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is willing to trade his salvation for some thrills. It appears that he's talking to another person who may also be seeking some sort of excitement rather than being fully committed to the idea of love. The following lines, "I've been looking for truth at the cost of living" reveal the singer's search for meaning in life and love.
The lyrics are full of questions that the singer is posing to his lover - "Can you take my weight? Will we grow together? Will we be a lie? If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die." These questions show a sense of insecurity and confusion on the part of the singer about whether the relationship will last long-term or not. The final lines, "Hope I'm the first to die," suggests that the singer is willing to experience the pain of loss in love as long as the relationship is genuine.
In summary, "Five-O" is a reflective song that explores the complexities of love and relationships, and the insecurities that come along with it. The singer is grappling with the idea of whether love is worth the cost, both in terms of pain and sacrifice.
