Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been to a rally of pot smokin' heads
Taken a trip and I've lost my head
And I've had some pretty's in my bed
Yeah that's what I said
Well I had some wine, I lost my mind
Couldn't make it to work on time
Picked up some habits along the line
Yes I'm feeling fine
'cause I'm a nineties hippie, can't stop our foldk
One thing we've got it's a lot of hope
Feelings we got they have been felt before
I only wish they could be felt some more
You gotta give me some more yeah
Well I got my own place a friend named Dave
I can't keep money hell 'cause I can't save No
Some people say that you get high
But I don't care you see I'm getting by
Yes I'm getting by
'cause I'm a nineties hippie, can't stop our foldk
One thing we've got it's a lot of hope
Feelings we got they have been felt before
I only wish they could be felt some more
You gotta give me some more yeah
Well I spent some time in the olden school
Had to go by the others rules yeah
Now I'm out and my hair is long
And I'm singing a different song
It's a different song yeah
'cause I'm a nineties hippie, can't stop our foldk
One thing we've got it's a lot of hope
Feelings we got they have been felt before
I only wish they could be felt some more
You gotta give me some more yeah
Well I'm a nineties hippie, can't stop our foldk
One thing we've got it's a lot of hope
Feelings we got they have been felt before
I only wish they could be felt some more
Larry's song "90's Hippie" is a tribute to the hippie culture that emerged in the 1960s and persisted in various forms into the 1990s. The lyrics describe experiences that are typical of hippie counterculture, including attending rallies, using drugs, and engaging in free love. The singer is proud to be part of this subculture, describing himself as a "nineties hippie" who can't be stopped. The song emphasizes the sense of community and hope that was central to the hippie ethos, with the singer noting that even though these feelings have been experienced before, he wishes they could be "felt some more."
The song also touches on some of the negative aspects of the hippie lifestyle, such as the singer's inability to hold down a job or save money. However, he remains defiant, stating that he doesn't care about the criticisms of others and is "getting by" in his own way. The final verse emphasizes the idea of breaking free from convention and living life on one's own terms, with the singer contrasting his current state of long hair and new song with his earlier conformity to "others rules" in school.
Overall, Larry's song "90's Hippie" is a celebration of the freedom, community, and optimism that characterized the hippie subculture, as well as a statement of individualism and resistance to societal norms.
