Forever Heavy
Black Moth Super Rainbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever,
In the sun,
Forever,
Should we know,
Forever,
In the field,
La-da da duh-da
Chewing on bubblegum,
Living in the field,
Chewing on bubblegum,
Living in the field,
Chewing on bubblegum,
Living in the field,
Chewing on bubblegum,
Living in the field,
Sitting in a field,
You were sitting the whole time,
Laying in the sun,
You were doing all kins,
You were chewing all the gum,
You were doing all kinds of-
Laying in the field.
Oh-oh-oh...
Am heavy,
Forever,
In the sun,
Forever,
Should we know,
Forever,
In the field,
La-da da duh-da
Chewing on bubblegum
Living in the field,
Chewing on bubblegum
Living in the field,
Chewing on bubblegum
Living in the field,
Chewing on bubblegum
Living in the field,
Sitting in a field,
You were sitting the whole time,
Laying in the sun,
You were doing all kins,
You were chewing all the gum,
You were doing all kinds of-
Laying in the field.
Oh-oh-oh
The lyrics to "Forever Heavy" by Black Moth Super Rainbow are quite abstract and open-ended, allowing for a wide range of interpretations. At its core, the song seems to evoke a sense of weight or heaviness, both physical and emotional, that persists indefinitely. This weight is juxtaposed with images of living in a field, laying in the sun, and chewing on bubblegum, which suggest a carefree and idyllic existence. However, the repetition of these lines also reinforces a kind of stagnation or stasis, as though the subject of the song is trapped in this pastoral setting, unable to escape or progress.
The idea of being forever heavy can be read as a metaphor for depression or a general sense of disaffection with the world. Despite the beauty and simplicity of the natural setting, the subject of the song seems unable to fully enjoy or engage with it, instead remaining stuck in a cycle of chewing gum and laying in the sun. The final lines of the song--"you were doing all kinds of / laying in the field"--could be interpreted as either a celebration of this kind of aimless existence or an indictment of it, depending on one's perspective.
