It Must Be Luck
Sons of the East Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A face with the eyes from a magazine
You'd already gone but I came back to find you
Everything can change in a moment
I was on a road going nowhere
Maybe we were crazy or just drunk
But you filled the air into my lungs
Into my lungs
I don't believe in fate so it must be luck
Guess I must be having some kind of run
Will I make a fortune or is love enough?
Busy making plans for some other day
Finding it hard to keep the story straight
But in the morning, we watched the sun arrive
And you stole a corner of my mind
Of my mind
I don't believe in fate so it must be luck
Guess I must be having some kind of run
Will I make a fortune or is love enough?
We ain't got it all worked out
Still catching up somehow
To everyone
Does anybody understand
Never know what you have until it's gone
Oh I
Well I don't believe in fate so it must be luck
Guess I must be having some kind of run
Will I make a fortune or is love enough?
"It Must Be Luck" by Sons of the East is a song about the unpredictability of life and the unexpected moments that can change it. The singer sings about a chance encounter with someone who caught their eye, but who they almost missed. They were able to reconnect with this person, however, and they filled the air into their lungs. The experience was so magical, that even though the singer doesn't believe in fate, they see it as nothing short of luck.
Moreover, the song also touches on the idea of uncertainty towards the future. The singer is pondering if luck will continue favoring them or if they must put in some effort to make gains or achievement. They ask whether love alone will be enough for them to succeed. Despite being busy with plans for what's to come, they can't stop thinking about the moments shared with the person from before.
In summation, "It Must Be Luck" is a reflective tune that contemplates upon the serendipitous events in life that can alter a trajectory. It captures how life can be unpredictable and how a moment's decision can impact everything that follows.
