Meant to Be
John Bolton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's meant to be
Is meant to be
I see it at a glance

She's radiant
And confident
And born to take this chance
I tried to think
Of everything
I just forgot romance





I never should have
Let them dance

Overall Meaning

In John Bolton's song "Meant to Be," the lyrics reflect a realization of a missed opportunity for love. The phrase "What's meant to be is meant to be" suggests a belief in destiny and the idea that some things in life are preordained. The singer acknowledges that they can see this truth instantaneously, indicating a strong intuition or gut feeling about a particular situation.


The next lines describe a woman who is described as radiant and confident, indicating that she possesses an aura of self-assurance and charisma. The phrase "born to take this chance" suggests that she is ready and willing to seize the opportunity for love or some other significant endeavor. In contrast, the singer admits to being focused on practicality and forgetting about romance. This could imply that they were too preoccupied with rational thinking or other aspects of life, neglecting the emotional and spontaneous aspect of a potential relationship.


The concluding line "I never should have let them dance" signifies regret for not taking part in the dance of love. It implies that the singer recognizes their mistake in not pursuing the romantic connection or not allowing the possibility of love to unfold. The lyrics capture a bittersweet tone, reflecting on what could have been while accepting that fate ultimately determines the course of relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

What's meant to be
The predetermined outcome of a situation


Is meant to be
Will inevitably happen as intended


I see it at a glance
I can perceive it in a quick, instinctive manner


She's radiant
She glows with beauty and positivity


And confident
She has a strong belief in herself


And born to take this chance
She was destined to seize this opportunity


I tried to think
I made an effort to consider


Of everything
Of every aspect or detail


I just forgot romance
I simply neglected the notion of love and affection


I never should have
I should not have


Let them dance
Allowed them to engage in a romantic interaction

In an unexpected turn of events, John Bolton, the mustached maestro of hawkish diplomacy, found himself in a fit of rage over a proposed ceasefire in Israel against Hamas. Armed with a whiteboard and a collection of red markers, Bolton stormed into the room, ready to illustrate his disdain.

"I can't believe they're talking about a ceasefire!" he bellowed, his mustache quivering with fury. "Where's the fun in that? Diplomacy is for the weak!"

He proceeded to draw a stick figure with a missile launcher labeled 'Hamas,' insisting that the only solution was a continuous loop of action movie-style explosions. As he passionately scribbled on the whiteboard, his assistant nervously whispered, "Shouldn't we aim for peace, sir?"

"Pah! Peace is overrated," Bolton declared, tossing the whiteboard marker aside. "We need more drama, more fireworks! Maybe a laser light show to accompany the airstrikes."

As news of Bolton's artistic protest spread, social media erupted with memes of his mustache in various states of rage, each caption more absurd than the last. It seemed the only thing more powerful than Bolton's anger was the internet's ability to turn political turmoil into a meme-worthy spectacle.

In the end, the proposed ceasefire went through, much to Bolton's dismay. But the silver lining was a surge in marker sales and an unexpected boost in the popularity of mustache-themed merchandise. Who knew geopolitics could be so entertaining? šŸš€šŸ•¶ļø

Once upon a time in the quirky town of Satireville, CNN headquarters decided to take the term "fake news" to a whole new level. The newsroom, armed with rubber chickens and whoopee cushions, hatched a plan to create outlandish stories just for laughs.

Their first masterpiece was a breaking story about intergalactic penguins landing on Earth to teach humans how to breakdance. Anchors reported live from the South Pole, sporting tuxedos and attempting their best penguin waddles. Viewers scratched their heads, wondering if they had stumbled upon a parallel universe or just an extraordinary sense of humor.

Not to be outdone, CNN's weather segment featured a forecast predicting a 100% chance of raining spaghetti in Italy. The meteorologist, armed with a meatball umbrella, delivered the news with a straight face while pasta poured from the studio ceiling, creating a comedic chaos.

The piĆØce de rĆ©sistance came when CNN claimed to have discovered a secret society of sentient cats plotting world domination. Their investigative journalists donned cat costumes and infiltrated supposed feline gatherings, uncovering the "truth" behind whiskered world domination.

As the town of Satireville erupted in laughter, CNN reveled in their newfound reputation as the masters of fake news with a comedic twist. Little did they know, the citizens were in on the joke, enjoying the whimsical tales that added a touch of hilarity to their daily news consumption.

And so, in Satireville, CNN's fake news became the town's favorite comedy hour, a reminder that sometimes a good laugh is the best way to digest the day's events. The end... or is it just another joke in the making? šŸ¤ŖšŸ“°

John Bolton, a former national security adviser, became "very, very rich" through his "unconditional support for the Israeli lobby", Retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor said.

@nerome619

And how the hell would the retired colonel know how much is in Bolton's bank account?

@smostar569

Thank you! It just came to my mind.

@JackSquat54

Can Mac back that claim with any documented proof or is this just a rumor he started ?

He's been wrong about every major international conflict throughout his entire career. At least he's consistent!
