The Drums Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my hand and I'll take it for a ride
You hit me yesterday because I made you cry
So before we die let me do something nice, ohh
I want to buy you something
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh (hey)
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh (huh)
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh (huh)
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And if I had a car, I would trade in my car
If I had a gun, I would trade in my gun
Honey, we ran from the country when we rushed to the city
And now there's nothing to be done, there's nothing to be done
There's nothing to be done, there's nothing to be done, no
I want to buy you something
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
I want to buy you something
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh

I want to buy you something
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
I want to buy you something
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
And I wanna buy you somethin'
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
And I want to buy you somethin'
But I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh
Ohh-ohh-whoa-oh

The lyrics to The Drums' song "Money" express a desire to do something nice for a significant other before it's too late to do so. The opening line, "Before I die, I'd like to do something nice," suggests a sense of urgency and finality. The second line, "Take my hand and I'll take it for a ride," signifies a willingness to go on a journey together, but it is not necessarily a romantic one. The third line, "You hit me yesterday because I made you cry," suggests a strained relationship that needs repairing. The singer acknowledges this by saying, "So before we die let me do something nice."
The chorus repeats the lines, "I want to buy you something but I don't have any money." These lines emphasize that although the singer desires to do something nice for their significant other, they are unable to because of their financial limitations. The following lines, "And if I had a car, I would trade in my car / If I had a gun, I would trade in my gun," suggest that the singer is willing to give up everything they have in order to show their love and commitment.
Overall, the lyrics to "Money" express a desire for a deeper connection with a significant other and a willingness to sacrifice everything for that connection. The repeated line, "I want to buy you something but I don't have any money," emphasizes the lack of material possessions but also the desire to give something in order to show love.

Before I die
I'd like to do something nice

Honey we ran from the country
When we rushed to the city
And now there's nothing to be done, there's nothing to be done
There's nothing to be done, there's nothing to be done
I want to buy you something (But I don't have any money)

@WassupItsGio
Its crazy how this was made 7 years ago but feels like a new indie song
@folkloreofbeing
I was actually going to say that this brings me back a few decades. It's got a vintage 90s sound to it to me.
