The dream, family live that wid me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
All my life mi dream fi own house, land, cars, and bikes
All my life
I'm in the stakin' bar
I got debts, I'm a debaser
All my life
Saturnz about to make love
And I'm just a heartbreaker
All my life
And I won't get a take in
'Cause I'm out when I'm stakin'
And the rings I am breaking
Are making you a personal debt
With the holograms beside me
I'll dance alone tonight
In a mirrored world, are you beside me
All my life?
Distortion
All my life
I'm in the stakin' bar
I got debts, I'm a debaser
All my life
Saturnz about to make love
And I'm just a heartbreaker
All my life
And I won't get a take in
'Cause I'm out when I'm stakin'
And the rings I am breaking
Are making you a personal debt
I think 2D's lines are about how he feels alone in this massive world.
"With the holograms, beside me I'll dance alone tonight"
I personally reckon that this song is likely to do with the growing effect of money on love and lifestyle, talking about how the person with debts is risking their money in the "Stakin' bar" whilst better off people (Saturn being the metaphor) can just live their lives with ease whilst other people in the world are suffering. Also, Popcaan expresses this by talking about (unlikely to be real) dreams of poorer people that want cars and bikes as well as lovers and popularity. If my view on the song is correct, then I think it fits in well with the anti Trump (oligarchy) argument that is discussed in various songs in the album (hallelujah money, let me out etc)
I dunno though and remain uncertain about the other lyrical meaning in the song. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
the first part talks about a guy who had a very hard and violent life, but raised thanks to his art and started living the dream along with his family.
the Albarn parts are about a killer for hire, Saturn being a symbol for harvesting (life), and he being a debaser staking and dedicating the night to someone, most likely the man from the first part.
Maybe right when the Poopcanz character finally got a hard-earnt break in life thanks to his passion and love, his past comes in the form of a cold, self-loathing Damon to take it all away.
Poopcanz... LMAO
Poopcanz... LMAO
Well to me this song seems to be about hardship in life and how we search for money all our lives only to feel alone when we realize that spending time and the glory with our family is more valuable than being out there having fun solo while others pretend to like us and we go around leaving kids and lovers sad and heartbroken. In the end the song is about someone who took the wrong path and has come to terms with it.
