Vitamin C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get you where I stand
Feel like I been climbing all my life
Everybody told me
I'd never ever get this far
I know I can make it if I try
There's the special things that come your way
Special things that somehow come to you
(come to you, you too, to you, do to, be do, you)
Special things come to you
There's no sense in trying to fight it
When I want something so bad
No, it's not as easy as it seems
Simple things are the hardest
Of the things we do for love
And I won't give up cause I'm not just what it means
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you
(come to you, doo doo doo, to you, doo doo doo)
Special things (doo, doo ahh, you doo)
Do do doo, on you, do do doo, to you
Do doo, ahh, do do doo, too
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you
The lyrics of Vitamin C's song "Special" seem to be about personal aspirations, the struggles to achieve them, and finally getting there. The character trying to climb up to the top, which is the goal, and everybody telling them that it's impossible seems to suggest that the goal being pursued is not common or easy to attain. The lyrics imply that the singer has spent a long time trying to reach their personal goal, and they have tried every possible way to get there. They won't give up easily because they know they can make it if they try. The obstacles on this journey are numerous, but it is their desire to do it that keeps them moving forward.
The song stresses the importance of believing in oneself and not giving up no matter how difficult the situation may seem. The special things referred to in the chorus seem to be the fruits of the labor, the rewards for all the efforts, which no one can take away, and something that comes naturally to those who dare to pursue their dreams.
In general, the song seems to be about the power of perseverance, the incentive to overcome obstacles, and the reward of personal achievement. It is a reminder to keep pushing forward in the face of adversity, to keep trying until one achieves the desired result.
