- America LyricsMerry Christmas from the pines
Hallelujah, amen
Just another wish, just another dream
Just a witch who comforts you
When you're dying
When you're dying
America
America
I cry, Lord, to have used you
How could I, of all, to have used you?
If you're already there
Then you're already dead
If you're living in America, whoa
Our heroes are bred
They just got nothing to lose
Because they're all living in America, whoa
In America, whoa
And the movie girl said
You walked in on set
But you only play yourself
You're Hollywood.
Hallelujah, amen
Just another wish, just another dream
Just a witch who comforts you
When you're dying
When you're dying
America
America
I cry, Lord, to have used you
How could I, of all, to have used you?
If you're already there
If you're living in America, whoa
Our heroes are bred
They just got nothing to lose
Because they're all living in America, whoa
In America, whoa
And the movie girl said
You walked in on set
But you only play yourself
You're Hollywood.

✔️

✔️
When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, the track 'America' from Foxygen gives a deep dive into the tensions and paradoxes of the American dream, questioning the deceit and discontent that can be the by-products of it. The texts are rich in imagery with 'living in America' being just one of them, which points to a feeling of vacuity and disappearance of personal qualities, thus, revealing a negative angle on the trend of being misguided by the glitters and false promises of stardom and success. The overall message of the song is that of despair, heartbreak, and social commentary. In parallel, the song conveys the message of disillusionment with America to be a defining factor for one's identity and authenticity and the theme of death, loss, and longing are also present. The lyrics encompass adult issues and death-related metaphors which might not be right for kids below 13. The use of the word 'dying' and the American critique might be too much for kids so it can be labeled as PG-13.
