Delivery Boy
Kállay Saunders Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was told to find the things of our eyes can't see
You chose a life that guarantees
fancy cars and clothes
that don't mean a thing
Look at me now
I'm living it up
I'm top of the world
I'm living my dreams
I'm running on clouds
They're playing my song song won't you turn it loud
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Cause i admitted yes i did
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Just remember what you did
Delivery boy
You torn me down
You let me bleed
I gotta give you all i have, all of me
Look at me now
I'm living it up
I'm top of the world
Can't bring me down
I'm living my dreams
I'm running on clouds
They're playing my song song
won't you turn it loud
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Cause i admitted yes i did
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Just remember what you did
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Goddamn it hurts
Goddamn cause i admitted yes i did
Just remember what you did
Delivery boy
You said i'd never make it
Lookin' your baby now
You said i'd never make it
Lookin' your baby now
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Cause i admitted yes i did
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Just remember what you did
Delivery boy
Goddamn it hurts
Goddamn it hurts
Goddamn cause i admitted yes i did
Just remember what you did
Delivery boy
The overall theme of Kállay Saunders Band's Delivery Boy seems to be about overcoming adversity and proving others wrong. The song is directed towards someone who doubted the singer's success and belittled their dreams. The delivery boy in the title could be a metaphor for someone who delivers negative comments or beliefs, bringing down the singer's confidence along the way.
The line "I was told to find the things of our eyes can't see" could indicate the singer's pursuit of success despite not having many resources. However, the chorus suggests that the singer has now accomplished their dreams and is on top of the world. The repetition of "delivery boy" throughout the song could serve as a reminder to the person who once doubted the singer's potential, as if saying, "look at me now, despite what you said". The ending lyrics "You said I'd never make it / Lookin' at your baby now" suggests that the delivery boy may have been someone close to the singer, possibly an ex or former friend.
