Walk the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The TV says Mother is hurting
That the clock reads quarter to twelve
So I shop my face off at Urban
Just trying to look a little more like myself
What do you spend your money on?
What do you spend your money on?
The first time to your apartment
I was peeking in between my fingers
Oh the things I hoped we had in common
Wishful thinker
Tell me
Did you ever think about
What do you spend your money on?
I hope it's something of value
Are you the driver or is someone driving you?
What do you spend your, spend your
What do you spend your money on?
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
You take me up to the party
And we cross right over the barrier
I'm not sure what's more disarming
Than fake breasts and miniature terriers
What do you spend your money on?
I hope it's something of value
Are you the driver or is someone driving you?
What do you spend your, spend your
What do you spend your money on?
I hope it's something of value
The lyrics to "Spend Your $$$" by Walk the Moon suggest the idea of indulging in consumerism as a means of finding one's true identity. The singer hears about their mother's suffering on TV and uses shopping at Urban Outfitters as a way to cope with their own feelings of insecurity and uncertainty. The line "Just trying to look a little more like myself" embodies the underlying theme of the song - the idea that we might find ourselves by purchasing things that reflect our inner selves.
The lyrics also question what people spend their money on, urging listeners to consider whether their purchases are truly of value. The hook "What do you spend your, spend your money on?" is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the importance of this question. The singer also asks whether the listener is in control of their spending or if someone else is driving them, perhaps alluding to the influence of marketing and societal pressure to consume.
In the second verse, the singer expresses disappointment with a party they attend, listing "fake breasts and miniature terriers" as examples of things they find disarming. This could be seen as a commentary on societal expectations around beauty and status, and how they can be ultimately unfulfilling.
Overall, "Spend Your $$$" encourages listeners to consider the deeper significance of their consumption habits and to be mindful of what they are truly seeking when they make purchases.

I'm not sure what's more disarming
I am uncertain what is more surprising or unsettling
Than fake breasts and miniature terriers
Than people who have had cosmetic surgery, and their tiny dogs
What do you spend your, spend your
What is the focus of your financial resources?
What do you spend your money on?
What do you prioritize in your life, and invest in accordingly?
I hope it's something of value
I hope that your investments in yourself make you happy and fulfilled
