Thankful Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Intro]
Speed don't always mean you fast
It's a tax
Keep you running till you breathing in your last
Whatchu' want ain't whatchu' need
Like my cash
I got rich when I lost all that I had
I'm so thankful when I'm cold (cold)
For the lows (lows)
For the pain that I feel but never show
I'm so thankful for it all
I'm so thankful for it all
Yeah
[Chorus]
Speed don't always mean you fast
It's a tax
Keep you running till you breathing in your last
Whatchu' want ain't whatchu' need (-whatchu need)
Like my cash
I got rich when I lost all that I had
I'm so thankful when I'm cold (-when I'm cold)
For the lows (-for the lows)
For the pain that I feel but never show
I'm so thankful for it all
Yeah
I'm so thankful for it all
[Verse: Ollie]
Yeah
I'm so thankful when I'm low that's how my life switch
Working double times and weekends on the night shift
I can't count how many times I almost gave up
But you gon' find out who you are when in a crisis
There's something I've come to know
That when you lose, you can still win
This direction is better slow, cause
[Chorus]
Speed don't always mean you fast
It's a tax
Keep you running till you breathing in your last
Whatchu' want ain't whatchu' need (-whatchu need)
Like my cash
I got rich when I lost all that I had
I'm so thankful when I'm cold (-when I'm cold)
For the lows (-for the lows)
For the pain that I feel but never show
I'm so thankful for it all
Yeah
I'm so thankful for it all
[Verse: Witt Lowry]
Alright
Maybe it's the OCD
But what if I'm becoming too complacent chasing dopamine
Or what if every knife that's in my back is from people close to me
And maybe I don't know me, I just know who I'm supposed to be
Look, me is all I hope to be
I've been on a search
No class has ever taught me what I've learned from being hurt
I've seen people that I love with all my heart inside a hearse
That's why the least of all my worries is if you don't like a verse
I've learned, the funny thing about being rich it's free
Everytime I hit a low is when I found new peaks
Now a days, the only accolade I seek is peace
Put in the work but never worked on me
[Chorus]
Speed don't always mean you fast
It's a tax
Keep you running till you breathing in your last
Whatchu' want ain't whatchu' need (-whatchu need)
Like my cash
I got rich when I lost all that I had
I'm so thankful when I'm cold (-when I'm cold)
For the lows (lows)
For the pain that I feel but never show
I'm so thankful for it all
I'm so thankful for it all
Yeah
Speed don't always mean you fast
It's a tax
Keep you running till you breathing in your last
Whatchu' want ain't whatchu' need (-whatchu need)
Like my cash
I got rich when I lost all that I had
I'm so thankful when I'm cold (-when I'm cold)
For the lows (-for the lows)
For the pain that I feel but never show
I'm so thankful for it all
Yeah
I'm so thankful for it all
[Intro]
In the introduction, Ollie sets the tone by emphasizing that speed does not equate to success. He points out that constantly chasing after things can exhaust a person, leading to a realization that true riches come from losing material possessions. The mention of being thankful for the cold, lows, and hidden pain suggests an appreciation for the struggles that have shaped him.
[Chorus]
The chorus reiterates the idea that speed and constant pursuit do not guarantee fulfillment. Instead, true wealth is found in the losses and hardships. Ollie expresses gratitude for the pain he has endured and the lessons learned from these experiences. This section reinforces the theme that what we desire is not always what we need.
[Verse: Ollie]
In his verse, Ollie reflects on how hitting rock bottom has often been a turning point in his life. Working hard during difficult times has helped him understand his true self. He acknowledges that losing can still lead to winning, especially when it comes to personal growth. The slower pace of progress is sometimes more beneficial than rushing through life.
[Verse: Witt Lowry]
Witt Lowry’s verse delves into his internal struggles, touching on themes of self-discovery and the impact of past betrayals. He questions if his pursuit of happiness has made him complacent. Despite the pain inflicted by those close to him, he has learned more from being hurt than any formal education could provide. The realization that true richness comes from inner peace, rather than material success, is a central theme in his verse.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated to emphasize the song’s core message. Both artists highlight the paradox of finding riches in loss and the importance of embracing life's lows to appreciate its highs.
[Outro]
The outro brings the song full circle, with a final reiteration of the chorus. This repetition solidifies the message of gratitude for all experiences, both good and bad, and the understanding that true wealth comes from within.
