Jon Waltz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gold like chain glow
This is Django
Unchain my bank roll
Going like brrrrrrrrr
Straight to the memory bank like
Brrr Brrr
Straight to the memory
100s in the sink
100 in the sink
I'm reaching for the money with piranhas in the sink
Brrr
Straight to the memory bank like
Brrrrr
Straight to the memory bank yeah
Schoolyard told me to speak my head
My hot boy told me to aim for the head, like
Yusuke
With the finger work, yeah
Goku
With the Genki Dama, yeah
Saw you out my window
Like a side eye
Like a side eye
From a meteor
Saw you out my window, yeah, yeah
Like a side eye
Like a side eye
From a meteor
Adi-adi-ooooo now
Money out the floorboard Escobar style
Men lie, women lie, numbers lie too
Brush a little stardust under my shoe
Hundreds in the sink
Hundreds in the sink
Reaching for the money with piranhas in the sink
I'm Americana, Americana I think
I'm Americana I don't care what none of y'all say
Saw you out my window
Like a side eye
Like a side eye
From a meteor
Saw you out my window, yeah, yeah
Like a side eye
Like a side eye
From a meteor
Cut my wings
Let me go
If I fall
Out of control
I could just
Skydive
Into your
Living room
Living room
Saw you out my window
Like a side eye
Like a side eye
From a meteor
Saw you out my window, yeah, yeah
Like a side eye
Like a side eye
From a meteor
The song "Comet" by Jon Waltz features lyrics that are both introspective and dreamy. The song has several themes and the first verse talks about the need for money and having a lot of it, which is referenced in the line "I need the cash out, gold like chain glow". He references Django Unchained in the line "This is Django, unchain my bankroll" which is a nod to the movie's theme of seeking freedom. He then goes on to say that he's "going like brrrrr" to the memory bank, which is a reference to the sound of a cashier's machine. The chorus talks about seeing someone out of the window, like a meteor caught in the corner of your eye – a fleeting moment that might not hold any significance until you look back on it with hindsight.
The second verse refers to the pressure to succeed, citing a schoolyard you should speak your head and aim for the head like Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho, a Japanese anime about a young boy with supernatural powers. Goku from Dragon Ball Z is also referenced, with his signature move the Genki Dama, which is a ball of energy he needs to gather before using it as a weapon. The line reinforces the idea of hard work and preparation, with the resulting power making it all worth it. The third verse seems to allude to the costs of success, with the repetition of the line "hundreds in the sink" and references to the dangers of the underworld that one might need to traverse to achieve it.
