Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Next thing I know, I'm trapped
I forget to find my way
Temptation everywhere
Even if the price is fair
That's more than I can pay
A part of me thinks that's what I deserve
There's a bunch of multimillionaires on this boulevard
And to me their lives look like heaven on earth
Oh, I have no business coming to a place like this
I really don't know why I'm teasing myself
Oh, I have no business coming to a place like this
I really don't have one good reason to tell
This place is paradise to my eyes
I don't really know what it is
Or probably my fantasy is me
In a place like, in a place like this
I don't know what to call
This type of drug at all
All I know is I'm hooked on it
I don't know what to think
When I'm finding everything
I didn't even know I wanted
I see another million-dollar car on this boulevard
A part of me thinks that's what I deserve
There's a bunch of multimillionaires on this boulevard
And to me their lives look like heaven on earth
Oh, I have no business coming to a place like this
I really don't know why I'm teasing myself
Oh, I have no business coming to a place like this
I really don't have one good reason to tell
This place is paradise to my eyes
I don't really know what it is
Or probably my fantasy is me
In a place like, in a place like this
Everything about this place
Makes it feel so far away
But something else about this place
Is making me want to stay
Oh, I have no business coming to a place like this
I really don't know why I'm teasing myself
Oh, I have no business coming to a place like this
I really don't have one good reason to tell
This place is paradise to my eyes
I don't really know what it is
Or probably my fantasy is me
In a place like, in a place like this
The song "In a moment like this" by Jay & Lianie May speaks about the struggle of temptation and materialism. The singer finds themselves in a luxurious neighbourhood filled with millionaire's cars, yet they have no reason to be there. They feel trapped and hooked on the feeling of being surrounded by wealth and comfort. The lyrics describe how this place is paradise to their eyes, and they do not know why they are teasing themselves. They are torn between the desire to stay and the understanding that they have no good reason to be there.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer has no business being in a place like this, and they do not know what it is about this place that makes them want to stay. The lyrics suggest that there is something addictive about the lifestyle and the environment they find themselves in. However, they are aware that they cannot afford this lifestyle and know they should not be there. The song's message is that materialism and temptation can be dangerous and lead to a life of unfulfillment.
