1999

I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when i woke up this morning could a sworn is was judgment day
The sky was all a purple there were people running everywhere
Trying to run from they're destruction, and no I didn't even care
They say two thousand zero zero party's over oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like its 1999
They say two thousand zero zero, party's over oop out of time
So tonight I'm gonna cry like its 1999

Once in a lifetime

Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Letting the days go by, letting the days go by,
Letting the days go by, letting the days go by.
You may find yourself living in a shack and shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself with a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself, how did I get here

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground
Into the pool again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground

You may ask your self where is this house
You may ask yourself where does this highway go
You may ask yourself am I right or wrong
You may ask yourself "My God, what have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground
Into the pool again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "1999" by Prince are a reflection on the turn of the millennium and the fear of the unknown future that was approaching. The song begins with the acknowledgement that the song's message might stray from its intended purpose, given that it was written in a dream. Prince expresses his observation of the chaos that ensues as the world anticipates the end of the world. Despite this, he chooses to celebrate life by partying like it is 1999. The lyrics are symbolic of the fear of unknown and the desire to live life to its fullest.


The second set of lyrics to the song "Once in a lifetime" by Talking Heads are also about the passage of time. The lyrics express the idea that time is an invisible force that doesn't hold us as humans, but we exist within its context. The song encourages us to let go of the days as they pass by and not hold onto them. It proceeds to depict the different scenarios, situations, and locations that one could find themselves in life. But ultimately, we may question how we got there, leading to introspection about our personal journey.


Overall, both songs explore human emotions such as fear of the unknown, celebration of life in the moment, and the introspection brought about by the passage of time.
