2012
Ke$ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause I want my ass...
Shit, one more time?

(You must be upgraded, you must be upgraded)
(You must be upgraded)

Well it's 2012, think we're going to hell (you must be upgraded)
Put me under your acid spell (you must be upgraded)
Because I want my mind to be completely toast (you must be upgraded)
When the tides destroy the whole West Coast (you must be upgraded)
Because I want my ass to be jumping, too (you must be upgraded)
Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo

(You must be upgraded, you must be upgraded)
(You must be upgraded, you must be upgraded)

So with the world ablaze, I'm in an acid haze (you must be upgraded)
And though the end is near, I have no fear (you must be upgraded)
So the deal for me is not the same (you must be upgraded)
I'm having fun, while you're having pain

2012, the morning to the New Year's light
Just save yourself, oh I'll meet you on the other side
Is this the ending, they could have called the fall of man?
Is this the ending, or are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again? Are we gonna start

(You must be upgraded) Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo
(You must be upgraded) Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo




(You must be upgraded) Oh, my, my and a boo, hoo, hoo
(You must be upgraded)

Overall Meaning

The song "2012" by Ke$ha is a reflection on the apocalyptic predictions surrounding the year 2012. The lyrics suggest Ke$ha's desire to indulge in drugs and partying, as she believes the world is going to end soon. The chorus, "You must be upgraded," is repeated throughout the song, possibly representing the desire for a new, upgraded world after the supposed apocalypse.


The first verse establishes the idea that Ke$ha believes the world is going to end soon, stating, "Well it's 2012, think we're going to hell." She then sings about her desire to be under the influence of drugs ("Put me under your acid spell"), and even describes wanting her "mind to be completely toast" in preparation for the imminent destruction of the West Coast. The second verse speaks to Ke$ha's indifference towards the impending disaster, saying that she's "having fun, while you're having pain."


Towards the end of the song, Ke$ha questions whether the end of the world is truly the end, singing, "Is this the ending, or are we gonna start again?" The repetition of the phrase "Are we gonna start again?" suggests a desire for a new beginning, an upgraded world or society after the supposed end.

@theharshtruthoutthere

Truth, which we do not like:
- there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
- The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
- there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
- there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
- there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
- the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
Matthew 7:21

The truth we don`t like:
- we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
- we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
- we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
- there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
- the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
- as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
¤ son against his father, father against his son,
¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
¤ mother in law against daughter in law
……Micah 7:6 , Matthew 10:35 ,
Luke 12:53

- Christianity is reality.

The truth we don`t like:
- TVs keep the whole mankind under MK MIND CONTROL.
- there is none trans nor gay, all of it are the consequence from THE MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
- there is noon the greatest lie again played with mankind: THE PROJECT BLUE BEAM.
- we are deceived 24/7/365 through TV programs /news) and through wicked people.
- we live in a BABYLON from which all are called to come out. Revelation 18:4
