Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when i woke up this morning could a sworn is was judgment day
The sky was all a purple there were people running everywhere
Trying to run from they're destruction, and no I didn't even care
They say two thousand zero zero party's over oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like its 1999
So tonight I'm gonna cry like its 1999
Once in a lifetime
Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Letting the days go by, letting the days go by,
Letting the days go by, letting the days go by.
You may find yourself living in a shack and shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself with a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself, how did I get here
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground
Into the pool again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground
You may ask your self where is this house
You may ask yourself where does this highway go
You may ask yourself am I right or wrong
You may ask yourself "My God, what have I done?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground
Into the pool again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

The song "1999" by P.P.P captures the the feeling of the end of the world and the desire to live life to the fullest before the inevitable end. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that they were dreaming but feeling scared that it was Judgment Day. In the dream, the sky was purple, people were running away from destruction, and chaos reigned supreme. Despite this, the singer decides that they will party like it's 1999 and cry like it's 1999 because they want to live their life to the fullest and not let their fears take over.
In the second verse, P.P.P uses the song "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads to convey the idea that time is fleeting and can slip away easily. The lyrics describe the different paths that life can take and the feeling of being lost in the midst of it all. The chorus repeats the phrase "Letting the days go by" as a reminder that life doesn't stop for anyone and that we must make the most of the time we have. The repetition of "Same as it ever was" highlights the feeling of stagnation that can come from living a life without purpose or direction.
Overall, "1999" is a song about the fear of the unknown and the desire to make the most of life before it's too late. It uses vivid imagery and references to other songs to convey the universal feeling of uncertainty that everyone can relate to.
