Next Thing
Katy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't sit down
There's so many things to do round here
Let me show you around
Bust in late and
Then we're out the door
Keep them waiting
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
'Til the break of dawn
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
I'll show you how to make a scene
Follow my lead
Give them something to remember us
Before we leave
Don't leave money
'Cause we put on the show
Causing chaos
Everywhere we go
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
'Til the break of dawn
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
'Til the break of dawn
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
We are the creators and the troublemakers
Coming when we hear the sound
The instigators, love us or you hate us
You'll be seeing us around
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Til the break of dawn
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we're on to the next thing
Til the break of dawn
We'll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
In Katy Tiz's song "Next Thing," the lyrics describe the thrill of constantly moving on to the next exciting thing. The singer encourages her friend to keep his jacket on and stay active because there's so much to do. They arrive late and leave early, always leaving the people around them wanting more. The chorus repeats the phrase "on to the next thing" as they revel in causing chaos and making a scene wherever they go. The bridge describes the pair as the "creators and troublemakers," and they love to instigate and create excitement.
The song's message is one of living in the moment and not being satisfied with the status quo. It's about constantly pushing boundaries and not being tied down to any one thing. The lyrics celebrate a carefree and adventurous lifestyle, embracing life's possibilities without fear of consequences.
