I Wish
MC Jams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i wish life could have a little button

you make a click and start over again

i start right in the middle of the forest
it's easy to pretend
I wish life were made of little pixels
It's so simple and easy to see
I can make anything I want
I can even make a tree
And worlds of wonder; there's danger to discover
There's realms exciting and new
A journey to the Nether
It's forever
I only wish it were true
Man, I wish it were real
Man, I wish it were real
Man, I wish it were real
Man, I wish it were real




Man, I wish it were real
Man, I wish it were real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for MC Jams's "I Wish" express a yearning for a simpler, more controllable life. The singer longs for a hypothetical "button" that would allow them to start life over whenever they please. They imagine starting anew in the "middle of the forest," finding it "easy to pretend" in a world free from the complexities and stresses of reality. They extend this longing to the idea of a world made of "little pixels," in which they have complete control over their surroundings, able to create anything they desire, even a tree.


The idea of this virtual reality also excites the singer in the possibilities it presents. They describe "worlds of wonder" to explore, complete with new and dangerous realms like the Nether. This, however, is all undercut by the ultimately unattainable nature of this world. Despite the singer's wishes, they acknowledge that this is not real, and they can only long for it to be so. The repeated phrase of "Man, I wish it were real" serves to emphasize this sense of desire and disappointment.


Overall, the lyrics for "I Wish" reflect a nostalgia and longing for an idealized, simpler life, free from the constraints and stresses of our current reality. The addition of a virtual reality element adds an interesting twist, as it highlights the singer's desire for control and agency in their life, while ultimately admitting to the inherent limitations of such a world.
