Supertramp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right, let's get the whole thing cooking)

I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to loose face
Making it hard it's easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace

I try to walk down a city-street
I say hello to the people I meet
They're walking their way and thinking I'm crazy
But I have so much trouble just to keeping the beat

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
Whatever I was blessing
Well it worn't to laugh at me

Maybe I'm just a country boy
Hinging life bringing no joy
Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely
You see I'm fooling with a life and it ain't no toy

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
And whenever I got problems
I just call upon Aries





Here she comes
Here she comes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Supertramp's song Aries depict a struggle with fitting into society and finding one's own path in life. The singer, who seems to take pride in his independent and carefree lifestyle, finds it difficult to keep up with the expectations of others and conform to the norms of the city life. He tries to run in a different race, but ends up feeling like a loser every time, and tries to walk down a city street and greet people, only to be perceived as crazy. Despite the challenges, he maintains his simple way of life and does what pleases him, turning to the zodiac sign of Aries for strength and guidance.


The lyrics suggest a relatable theme of feeling lost and disconnected in a fast-paced and competitive world. The idea of relying on astrology for guidance and support is an interesting element of the song, as it symbolises the need for something beyond rational thinking to navigate through difficult situations. The lyrics also showcase the band's ability to blend catchy melodies with introspective and thought-provoking lyrics, which is a recurring trait in Supertramp's music.

Un des meilleurs morceaux de Supertramp et pourtant tellement méconnu. Complètement différent de ce qu'ils ont fait avant et après...

à mon avis le premier "Supertramp" et c'est le seul album de rock progressive du groupe.
