Particular words he chooses throughout the song, like "Indigos" (18), have symbolism attached to them. He metaphorically describes

This is what they call imagery. The singer is saying be yourself do not follow others, be yourself and don’t let your perse stop you. Later on in the song it say,”The ice we skate is getting pretty thin/ The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim/ My worlds on fire. How about yours/ That’s the way I like it and i’ll never get bored.” (Smash Mouth) This entire line of the song describes stress and it will try to stop you from being you, but when he rose up and he made a difference and forgot all about the stress he once had. The first part of the lyric is a simile. The final lyric in the song that is important is,” Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas/ I need to get myself away from this place/ I said yep, what a concept/I could use a little fuel myself/ And we could all use a little change.”( Smash Mouth) What he means by this is people ask him what he did to become this famous and he said,”you have to follow your dreams.” This is an example of a

Dawes are an indie rock band from Los Angeles, California. We’re All Gonna Die is their fifth album and their third released on HUB records. Dawes are most notable for their anthemic sing along songs like “When My Time Comes” or “Things Happen.” While Dawes always seems to have solid singles; they have really never had a really good album.

Society is broken into a cast system and to those unaware they may have the impression that it is possible to rise above it to a level of imagined success.

Even more important than the words in this verse is the sound of the music.

This verse reveals again that a person is compelled to commit a crime to fulfill the needs of oneself and possibly others. Crime rates were at its highest in the US in the 80s and 90s along with poverty rates; although knowing this the government shifted their focus to the War on
