ふと日の長さを感じます
せわしく過ぎる日々の中に
私とあなたで夢を描く
3月の風に想いをのせて
桜のつぼみは春へとつづきます
溢れ出す光の粒が
大きなあくびをした後に
少し照れてるあなたの横で
新たな世界の入口に立ち
気づいたことは 1人じゃないってこと
瞳を閉じればあなたが
まぶたのうらにいることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私もそうでありたい
砂ぼこり運ぶつむじ風
洗濯物に絡まりますが
昼前の空の白い月は
なんだかきれいで見とれました
上手くはいかぬこともあるけれど
天を仰げばそれさえ小さくて
青い空は凛と澄んで
羊雲は静かに揺れる
花咲くを待つ喜びを
分かち合えるのであれば
それは幸せ
この先も隣でそっと微笑んで
瞳を閉じればあなたが
まぶたのうらにいることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私も そうでありたい
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ah
The song "Three" by Monsters and Puppets begins with an invitation to "skim the top" and listen to stories about victory. The singer claims to have once been a dreamer like the listener but was then seduced by material wealth and greed. He describes his world as one where everything looks good, but it is actually a place where people "suck love from wherever they can" and "cash Satan's checks" with their "dick in their hand." The second verse goes on to offer the listener a deal: a "sweet little slive" in exchange for their "court and soul."
The underlying theme of the song appears to be the corrupting influence of money and power. The singer is cynical about the world and sees everything in terms of personal gain. He implies that the listener is also a dreamer but suggests that they too could become corrupted by greed. The repeated refrain of "Talkin' 'bout a free ride, talking 'bout a landslide..." seems to suggest that the singer has achieved success through dishonest means, but is now living "on top of it."
Overall, "Three" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of pursuing wealth and power at any cost. It challenges listeners to question their desires and priorities and to consider the impact of their actions on themselves and others.
Line by Line Meaning
Come on, Baby, skim the top with me
Join me in my superficial and shallow lifestyle
I'll tell you stories 'bout victory
I will only talk about my successes and not my failures
I used to be a dreamer just like you
I was once optimistic and idealistic, but now I am a cynic and realist
And then my pocket told me what to do
I prioritize money above all else
All things are looking good from where I sit
I have a self-centered perspective and don't care about others' problems
Or in the United States of who gives a shit
I don't care about the state of the country or world
Sucking love from wherever I can
I am selfish and will take advantage of anyone for my own benefit
Cashing Satan's checks with my dick in my hand
I am willing to do anything immoral or unethical for money and success
Talkin' 'bout a free ride
I expect everything to be handed to me without any effort or hard work
Talkin' 'bout a landslide
I expect to achieve success easily and quickly
You wanted all the 3rd eye, Baby
You were once interested in spiritual or esoteric beliefs, but I will mock and belittle them
Now I'm living on top of it
I have achieved my goals and am now successful at the expense of others
Sweet little slive, I'll give you what you need
I will manipulate and take advantage of those who are vulnerable or naive for my own gain
Just give your court and your soul to me
I will take control of your life, your beliefs, and your values for my own benefit
