What If
The BossHoss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not tomorrow but today
And leave everything don't take anything
I'd be gone and I wouldn't tell anyone
So what if I would take a plane
And fly away to a sunny place far away
And maybe I will meet somebody somebody
I'd be away away what if I would
I'd be away what if I could
I'd break away maybe I should
A new may away I wish I would
What if would suddenly be gone
I guess in any way, everything
Would still go on like a game maybe not in the same way
But it's ok I'll be the one to blame
So if would open my door
And step outside
Knowing I won't walk back nevermore could it be?
Is it now or never?
Or just never forever?
I'd be away, away what if I would
I'd be away, away what if I could
I'd break away away maybe I should
A new way away I wish I would
What if I would travel the word
And kiss all limits goodbye
Maybe there are some mountains to cross
I don't care cause I'm flying high!
I'd be away, away what if I would
I'd be away, away what if I could
I'd break away away maybe I should
A new way away I wish I would
Tell me what if would, I'd be away Yeah
Oh oh oh what could I'd be break yeah
Maybe I would a new way yeah
Maybe I should I wish I would
The BossHoss's song "What If" speaks to the human desire for freedom, adventure, and the unknown. The lyrics suggest that the singer is contemplating leaving behind everything and everyone they know, to embark on an unknown adventure. The lyrics are presented in a hypothetical and abstract way which could represent a desire to escape the mundane reality of life. This is suggested through the use of the repetitive phrase "what if", which implies a sense of contingency and possibility.
The lyrics evoke a sense of excitement, liberation, and potential, where the singer is considering leaving behind convention and societal norms to live a life free of constraints. However, the lyrics also display a sense of hesitation and uncertainty as the singer considers the potential consequences of such an action. The lyrics ultimately suggest that the singer desires change and freedom, but is unsure about how to achieve it.
