Magic Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just the same and evidently we're the smallest and i
get old, old, get out of the summer
every time you come around i know we've gone in and
never sane, well, believe me it's appalling you don't
get old or come out
of the space between the walls between the cracks under the floors won't you.
every time you come around i know we've gone in and
never sane, well, believe me it's appalling you don't
get old or come out
of the space between the walls between the cracks under the floors won't you.
rise south dakota don't you want to
know you went so far and don't you go
home and like every time I'll run you'll run we'll run
i'll run you'll run and we'll
rise south dakota don't you want to
know you went so far and don't you go
home and like every time I'll run you'll run we'll run
i'll run you'll run and we'll run
The lyrics to Magic Man's song "South Dakota" present a vague sense of longing for a place that seems distant and almost unattainable. The opening lines suggest a feeling of unity and familiarity with those around the singer, despite their smallness and insignificance. However, as the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that this sense of belonging is fleeting and unsatisfying. The repeated refrain of "get old, old, get out of the summer" suggests a longing to escape, to leave behind the sameness and routine of life.
The other lines in the song reinforce this desire for something more. The imagery of "the space between the walls between the cracks under the floors" hints at a hidden world, something waiting just beyond reach. The repeated call to "rise South Dakota" suggests a desire for change, for a break from the monotony and routine of everyday life. The song's title, referring to a state that is perhaps known more for its rural landscapes and small towns than for its excitement, adds to this sense of longing for something more.
Overall, the lyrics to "South Dakota" paint a picture of a person yearning for something beyond what they have experienced so far. The references to familiarity and unity with others contrast with a sense of dissatisfaction and a longing for escape or change.

Whenever I am with a group of people, I feel like we are all the same, insignificant and small. As time passes, I age and feel like I want to move on from this time in my life.

Whenever you come around, we enter into a realm of madness and chaos. I find it shocking that you do not age or move on from this place we are in, that feels like a confined and uncomfortable space with no escape.
rise south dakota don't you want to
know you went so far and don't you go
home and like every time I'll run you'll run we'll run
i'll run you'll run and we'll
Let us rise, South Dakota. Do you not desire to keep moving forward and reach new heights? Do not turn back now. Together, we will run towards our goals and chase our dreams, never looking back.
