A Good Song Never Dies
Saint Motel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're in too deep to go back again
Cash, it's pay-to-play
You want more hits than a lemonade
No, you don't own me
You don't even know me
Who, this vagabond
With a two-part path to the great beyond
A ground floor opp', I can help you find
Oh, you're a dreamer
Call me when you're Bieber
And when they play it, you can't help but sing along
That's nothin' odd, that's nothin' wrong
'Cause a good song never dies
It just reminds you of where you were
The first time it made you cry, the first time you felt alive
No, a good song never
No, a good song never
The first time it made you cry, the first time you felt alive
No, a good song never
Dies
Hope, the wonder drug
Don't work no more, think it took too much
Sweat, your equity
Make the caffeine be your weaponry
What, is the reason
There never was one needed
Fear, it's all around
But it weighs too much to slow you down
Now, is the time to act
'Cause the best defense is a timeless track
No, you don't own me
You don't even know me
But when they play it, you can't help but sing along
That's nothin' odd, that's nothin' wrong
'Cause a good song never dies
It just reminds you of where you were
The first time it made you cry
The first time you felt alive
No, a good song never
No, a good song never
The first time it made you cry
The first time you felt alive
No, a good song never
There was a moment, a hole opened in the sky
A chance to join that pantheon
For all the times they never heard your battle cry
Now even angels sing along
'Cause a good song never dies
It just reminds you of where you were
The first time it made you cry
The first time you felt alive
No, a good song never dies
Like a lover who won't back down
They'll pull you over to the side
Looks you straight into the eyes
No, a good song never
No, a good song never
The first time it made you cry
The first time you felt alive
No, a good song never

I think something like..
This music was made to be found randomically. I can't imagine nothing too villanous about it or whatever like a super lore thing..
But i imagine a really good song that you found by yt recomendations, spotify playlists and stuff like that. And the song just talks with you. They stops you by, they explain their function to you.
Its a song that talks to you about songs.
