Neon Hitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
who fucking cares?
Hide behind your cars and what they wear.
And i heard that being filthy rich, ain't what it seems,
money cant buy all the things I've seen.
Oh every time i close my eyes,
I dream of what it must be like,
the only love affair, is to be a billionaire.
It's a rich metal story
twenty four years old,
but when daddy is money,
inside of his nose.
Oh he's so damn lonely
and his heart is cold.
Even in fury coats he, drips with ice and snow,
It's so dum dum de dum dum duh dum.
He's so dum dum de dum dum duh dum.
Oh every time I close my eyes,
I dream of what it must be like,
to have the dollar rule your life, oh I, I swear,
the only love affair, is to be a billionaire.
Bada dum dum dada dum dum dum,
Be a billionaire, bada dum dum dada dum dum dum
Just a rich girl baby,
and she's lost her soul.
If you've seen her lately,
you wouldn't even know.
She got nip-tuck crazy
now she's skin and bone.
In a world so fake she,
likes to call her own.
It's so dum dum dee dum dum duh dum.
She's so dum dum dee dum dum duh dum.
I don't wanna be a billionaire,
who fucking cares?
Hide behind your cars and what they wear
and I heard that being filthy rich, ain't what it seems,
money cant buy all the things i've seen
Oh every time I close my eyes,
I dream of what it must be like,
to have the dollar rule your life, oh I, I swear,
the only love affair, is to be a billionaire.
Bada dum dum dada dum dum dum,
Be a billionaire, bada dum dum dada dum dum dum.
I don't wanna be a billionaire, who...fucking....cares?
In these lyrics, Neon Hitch expresses a deep disdain for the concept of being a billionaire and questions its value and significance. She criticizes those who hide behind material possessions such as cars and expensive clothing, emphasizing that these things do not define a person's worth. She suggests that being filthy rich is not all that it appears to be and that money cannot provide the same fulfillment as the experiences and things she has witnessed.
The first verse highlights the dream-like quality of the desire to be a billionaire. Neon Hitch imagines what it must be like for money to dictate every aspect of one's life. She implies that this obsession with wealth becomes the only love affair in such individuals' lives, suggesting that they prioritize money over genuine emotional connections.
The second verse focuses on a character, a rich young man whose wealth comes from his father's money. Despite his fortune, he is depicted as lonely and cold-hearted. Even though he appears to have everything on the surface, he lacks true happiness and warmth. The repeated phrase "dum dum de dum dum duh dum" exemplifies the sense of emptiness and shallowness associated with his life.
The third verse introduces a rich girl who has lost herself in her pursuit of perfection. She has succumbed to the pressures of a fake and superficial world, resorting to excessive cosmetic procedures and ending up frail and unhealthy. The phrase "dum dum dee dum dum duh dum" signifies her detachment from reality and her adoration of an artificial lifestyle.
In the chorus, Neon Hitch reiterates her opposition to wanting to be a billionaire. She dismisses the notion with a rhetorical question, emphasizing that it is of no importance. The final lines express her firm belief that money cannot buy the meaningful experiences she has had and implies that there are more valuable aspects of life to be cherished.
