Do What You Love
Machines Are People Too Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been there too
Everything you do
Just to make another dime, oh oh
What's a dollar what's a dime (oh woah oh oh)
Overwhelmed and tired you might be
You're not the only one so
Go to work another time, oh oh
You gotta do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing that you cannot do
Just do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing, nothing that you can't do
I might be broke, well who cares
You can't put a price on what you believe
What's a dollar what's a dime
What's a dollar what's a dime (oh woah oh oh)
I get sick of hearing
Of people who talk of what they could have been
Well don't lose hope, oh oh
Don't lose hope
You gotta do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing you cannot do
Just do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing, nothing that you can't do
Don't you forget it
Don't you forget
You gotta reach inside of your heart
Don't you forget it
You gotta do what you love
Don't you forget it
Don't you forget
You gotta reach inside of your heart
Don't you forget it
You gotta do what you love
You gotta do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing that you cannot do
Just do what you love (do what you love)
Don't you forget it
You gonna do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing that you cannot do
Just do what you love (do what you love)
There's nothing, nothing that you can't do
The song "Do What You Love" by MachinesArePeopleToo is an inspirational song that encourages listeners to pursue their passions and follow their dreams. The lyrics suggest that the daily grind of working a job just to make money can be overwhelming and exhausting, but reminds us that we are not alone in feeling this way. The chorus encourages the listener to do what they love and to not be discouraged by a lack of money, as pursuing your passions is priceless. The line "what's a dollar, what's a dime" emphasizes that sometimes the pursuit of money can get in the way of pursuing what truly makes us happy.
The verse that talks about people talking about what they could have been suggests that we should not let our dreams stay as mere fantasies, but instead, strive towards making them a reality. The repetition of "don't lose hope" reinforces the idea that even when things get tough, we should not give up on our dreams.
The overall message of the song is one of hope and encouragement. It suggests that doing what we love is the key to true happiness and fulfillment, and that even though the journey may be difficult, it is worth it in the end.
