Questions
Scott Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dressed in velvet and gloves
Causing grief and commotion
Talking 'bout love?
What on earth is he thinking?
Where on earth has he been?
Why do I feel like I'm sinking?
Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
We'll come to no harm
I once had a coat I was proud of
I wore that coat a long time
Just when the music got loudest
I left it behind
I could pretend that I'm dreaming
But one thing I just can't see
Who on earth am I meaning
When I say me?
Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
We'll come to no harm
What's around the corner?
What's around the bend?
What's around the corner?
What's around the bend?
Questions upon question upon questions
Crowding 'round the side of my bed
Here are just a few of the best ones
Adrift in my head
Who's driving this airplane?
Did I live hard enough?
Is it gonna rain and how well have I loved?
How well have I loved?
Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
We'll come to no harm
Lean on me if you stumble
'Neath the bright shining stars
And though the whole world may crumble
We know who we are, we know who we are
The song "Questions" by Scott Mike is a thought-provoking and contemplative piece of music that touches upon the existential doubts and fears that plague us all. The opening lines question the identity of a mysterious figure, "Who's the man with the potion/Dressed in velvet and gloves," causing confusion and chaos by speaking of love. The lyrics progress to reflect deeper concerns about one's place in the world and what is to come.
The chorus provides a sense of comfort and protection in a world of uncertainty, inviting the listener to walk through the jungle metaphorically with the singer, as a united front, "Put your arm in my arm/And should this ground start to crumble/We'll come to no harm." The singer then recalls a time when they were proud of their coat, only to leave it behind when the music was at its loudest - a moment of self-discovery that shaped who they are today.
The song closes with a barrage of questions, each highlighting a different fear and insecurity - "Who's driving this airplane?/Did I live hard enough?/Is it gonna rain and how well have I loved?" Despite the uncertainty, the singer affirms their identity and assures the listener of their own, "We know who we are, we know who we are." The lyrics are relatable and honest, making the song an introspective and uplifting experience for the listener.
