Greed
Monkey To Millionaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You away from being you,
Because someone else's eyes is more important than your heart.
You know that silent is standing tall
As your own wake up call,
To reminds you a things or two about you
To save it all or to waste it all,
You only wanna do the things, that you wanna do,
And its all about you.
You've always asked for more,
Well you always ask for more
Your happiness is always there,
It's killing me
You've always asked for more,
Well you always ask for more
Your happiness is always there,
It's killing me
From A to Z, you explained it clearly
About your misery,
All I hear is that you just don't wanna be. with me,
Tell me what would it takes
For you to stop saying
"You'll never good enough, you will never be good enough"
It doesn't matter if i'm not the one,
You don't wanna be
Well it doesn't matter now.
You've always asked for more,
Well you always ask for more
Your happiness is always there,
It's killing me
You've always asked for more,
Well you always ask for more
Your happiness is always there,
It's killing me
Well you keep asking more
Well you keep asking more
Well you keep asking more
Ohh oh ohhh uuhh oh oohh
Well you keep asking more
Well you keep asking more
Well you keep asking more
Ohh oh ohhh uuhh oh oohh
The lyrics of Monkey to Millionaire's "Greed" speak to the conflict between one's own desires and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. The opening lines suggest that individuals may sacrifice their true selves for the sake of pleasing others. The lyrics also touch on the theme of choice in life and the consequences of those choices. The repeated line "You've always asked for more," is a reminder of society's materialistic and consumerist expectations that can lead to dissatisfaction with oneself and the world around them.
Further on in the song, the singer seems to be addressing a specific person who is unhappy with their life and continually striving for more. The line "All I hear is that you just don't wanna be with me," implies that this person's desire for more may have caused them to lose sight of what's really important in their relationships. The line "Tell me what would it takes for you to stop saying, 'You'll never good enough, you will never be good enough'" highlights the self-destructive nature of the desire for more, always striving for something that is ultimately unattainable.
In the end, the song suggests that the pursuit of happiness is a never-ending cycle, and the pressure to conform to the expectations of others only adds to the pain. The line "Well you keep asking more" is a powerful indictment of a society that values endless growth and consumption above all else.
