Song meaning of Rich Man by Matt Schuster

Hey y'all, today I wanna chat about a song that really hit me in the feels - "Rich Man" by Matt Schuster. Let me tell ya, this song really speaks to me on a deep level.

When I hear the lyrics, "Money, fame and the fancy things, Brown out fifth, and some nicotine," it makes me think about how sometimes we chase after all these material things, thinking they'll make us happy. But in reality, they don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. It's like Matt is saying, "Who the hell buys a truck that ain't seen the mud?" It's like, why do we go after things that don't really matter in the end?

And then in the verse, when he sings, "Stop spending like I'm making them millions, And stop spending time running from my feelings," it really hits home. Sometimes we get caught up in trying to impress others or keep up with a certain lifestyle, but we forget to take care of ourselves and the people we love.

The chorus repeats the idea that chasing after money and fame isn't what life is all about. It's about finding true happiness and being true to yourself. The line, "That the Lord was broke, And the Devil was rich man," really makes you think about what's important in life.

And in the outro, when he sings, "I'm still running around in this old damn Ford, And though it ain't as good as the one next door, I'm done trying to just keep up on it, 'Cause the Devil was a rich man," it's like a realization that trying to keep up with others or live a flashy life isn't worth it. We should focus on what truly matters to us.

Overall, "Rich Man" by Matt Schuster is a powerful reminder to not get caught up in the pursuit of material things and to focus on what brings us true happiness and fulfillment. It's a song that really makes you stop and think about what's important in life. Give it a listen and let it resonate with you too.
