Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody's talking 'bout the prune

Everybody's talking 'bout the prune
Everybody's wondering pretty soon
Looking at your money
Come on tell me if it's funny
What is left, tell me honey?
When you bought what you need now

Everybody's talking 'bout the spoon
Everybody's wondering pretty soon
Looking at your dinner
Try to tell me it's a winner
What is left of your hunger?
When you eaten what you have now

How can it be fatal?
Can it be contagious?
Come on Percy




You must be able
To lend us some of it

Overall Meaning

The song "Everybody's in" by Me (who is a fictional artist) explores the themes of societal pressure and materialism. The lyrics start by addressing the popular topic of conversation, which is represented metaphorically as "the prune." This can be interpreted as a symbol for a trendy or covetable item that everyone is talking about. It reflects how people often engage in superficial discussions and place excessive importance on material possessions.


The lyrics then shift focus to money and consumption, asking if the pursuit of wealth and possessions is truly fulfilling or amusing. The line "Looking at your money, come on tell me if it's funny" suggests a sense of questioning the value and purpose of material wealth. The artist also invites a personal inquiry, asking "What is left, tell me honey? When you bought what you need now." This line highlights the emptiness that can come from constantly striving for more material possessions, as one may realize that they still lack true fulfillment.


The second verse further emphasizes the theme of materialism by referencing the "spoon" and "dinner." These can be seen as symbols for indulgence or gluttony, representing the excessive desire for more and more. The line "What is left of your hunger? When you have eaten what you have now" suggests that even after satisfying physical desires, there is still a sense of emptiness and craving that remains unfulfilled.


The bridge of the song poses the question of whether materialism can have dire consequences, described as something "fatal" or "contagious." The artist pleads with someone named Percy to share some of it, implying that materialism has the potential to harm individuals and society as a whole. This section reflects a sense of disillusionment with the prevailing mindset of valuing material possessions above all else.


Ultimately, "Everybody's in" is a commentary on the shallow nature of societal conversations and the empty pursuit of materialism, urging listeners to question the true meaning and value of their actions.
