To me, this just screams silicon valley tech industry. Someone had a great idea but their friend or partner was the one who made a killing on it, taking a buck and making a million. But that million was just ephemeral stock options and venture capital. In the meantime, the friend could have anything that you want before the crash, good times of plentyband promise. The singer is remembering when they were just friends with "a big idea" before the promise of millions of dollars destroyed their friendship.
