Plenty
aeseaes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give it to me, give me all the things I want
Make it new and shiny, and make them watch me, make them watch me
Turn the power on and wait for light
All the pleasures that you paid for
All the skipped turns that you saved for
All the nights you fell asleep without your gun
From the funeral to the wedding
Do you think they care where the crown goes?
Show the crowd you're happy, like a movie, like a movie
What's your story, what's the refund policy?
We want violence, we want blood
We want superhero love, we want all the answers you promised us
We want laughter, we want pain,
Everyone will know our name
Did you know that no two missteps are the same
The lyrics of the song "Plenty" by aeseaes speaks about the greed and materialism prevailing in modern society. The first two lines, "In the land of plenty, we don't know what the word no means, Give it to me, give me all the things I want" points towards how people are consumed by their thirst for more stuff and that they have an insatiable desire to possess everything they see. The phrase 'land of plenty' signifies that modern society has immense resources, but rather than utilizing them for good purposes, people have become excessively materialistic.
The lines "Make it new and shiny, and make them watch me, make them watch me, Turn the power on and wait for light" suggest that people are obsessed with the idea of luxury and want to show it off. They constantly crave attention, and so they indulge in things that others can only dream of possessing.
The lines "We want violence, we want blood, We want superhero love, we want all the answers you promised us, We want laughter, we want pain, Everyone will know our name" represent the idea that people are not satisfied with what they have but always want more excitement and entertainment to keep them engaged. They want to know everything, have everything and want to be famous.
Overall, the lyrics of "Plenty" by aeseaes are a reflection of modern society's unhealthy obsession with materialism, greed, and glamour.

I wish someone would use this in a movie or fanvid or something. It feels so emotional, like an imminent loss, and I want to be able to tangibly associate characters with the song. You guys are fabulous!
