What's Up
PNC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whats up my friend
never saw you with that face
i think that you are not OK

My parents told me that,
I'm a lazy man
but they dont know
what i want in my fucking life
they dont care about the things i like

They dont care about myself
i've never done it wrong
everything i wanted to
is sing and to have fun

You have my dreams,
you can be my friend for years
friend for years

After all im still here
i've waited for a couple of years
by the time we come tonight
although is we've ever had
but its the same old story

Youre knockin on my door
once again i tell you that
this couldnt happen
but in my life all is the same
nothigs strange





And is the same old story
but is the same old story

Overall Meaning

The song "What's Up" by PNC talks about the frustration and feeling of being misunderstood by one's own parents. The opening line 'What's up my friend, never saw you with that face, I think that you are not OK' reveals the singer's concern for his friend's well-being, but then goes on to explain his own situation. He confesses that his parents think of him as a "lazy man" who is clueless about what he wants from his life. However, he firmly believes that his parents do not understand him and are indifferent to his aspirations.


The chorus of the song is about hope and finding comfort in friends who share one's dreams. Here, the singer expresses his trust in his friend who he hopes will help him fulfill his dreams. The lines "You have my dreams, you can be my friend for years, friend for years" shows his willingness to share everything with his friend.


Towards the end, the singer reflects on how everything in his life remains the same despite his efforts to change it. He acknowledges the familiarity of certain situations, and the routine of life that seems to drag on. The overall tone of the song is melancholic, with a hint of regret and dissatisfaction.
