I Wish
Minecraft 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

The line "there's danger to discover" acknowledges the excitement and thrill of exploring unknown territories, even within a virtual setting. However, despite the temptation and appeal, the singer acknowledges that this alternate reality is not real and can only exist in fantasy.

Overall, the song reflects the desire to escape into a world that can be easily controlled and manipulated, with endless possibilities for exploration and creation. It speaks to the human desire for control and the allure of fantasy as a way to cope with the complexities of real life.
