It's Gonna Be
Norah Jones퀀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing will be funny, honey
And now that everyone's a critic
It's makin' my mascara runny
If we only talk about the "Heathers"
Making it together, is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
For our busted nation, we're lazy
But it's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
It's gonna be
Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor
Aim at the ones who've really hurt us
They should be arrested for murders
But then all the cameras were turned on
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers
But it's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
Let's make it be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Be, be, be, be
In "It's Gonna Be", Norah Jones comments on society's obsession with money, fame, and superficiality. She acknowledges that everyone has become a critic, and the constant scrutiny is causing her to feel insecure and vulnerable, to the point where her mascara runs due to crying. The reference to "Heathers" suggests that people are following the herd mentality and trying to achieve success by copying others, but this "crazy" approach will not yield any substantial results. Jones urges the listeners to focus on creating a better future instead of remaining apathetic towards the problems that plague their nation.
The second verse talks about the double standards that exist in the media, as humanizing a princess is ridiculed, yet trivialising serious issues is accepted without contest. She calls for accountability, urging the punishment of those who have truly hurt others, rather than the marginalised groups who are often scapegoated by the media. The final line, "some skinny naked blond eating burgers" may be interpreted in different ways, perhaps as a metaphor for the media's voracious appetite for sensationalism, or as a commentary on society's shallow beauty standards.
Overall, "It's Gonna Be" is a song that challenges us to re-evaluate our priorities and strive towards creating a more equitable, humane world.
Line by Line Meaning
If all we talk about is money
If our only concern is wealth
Nothing will be funny, honey
We won't find anything amusing
And now that everyone's a critic
With so many people giving opinions
It's makin' my mascara runny
It's causing me to cry
If we only talk about the "Heathers"
If we focus solely on the popular crowd
Making it together, is crazy
Believing we'll succeed as a group is insane
If we don't get a new situation
If we don't improve our circumstances
For our busted nation, we're lazy
We're too apathetic to take action
Now if a princess becomes human
If someone of royalty were to become ordinary
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
Don't criticize her on national television, it's inappropriate
Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
Because it's easy to cross the line between criticism and cruelty
And a decent sense of humor
And having a good perspective
Aim at the ones who've really hurt us
Focus on those who've actually caused us harm
They should be arrested for murders
They should be held accountable for their actions
But then all the cameras were turned on
But then the media focused their attention
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers
On a trivial and insignificant subject
It's gonna be
Things will work out
Please make it be
I hope it happens
Let's make it be
Let's make it happen
Be, be, be, be
Let it be so
