Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you comfort me?
In my time of need
Would you understand?
Understand, won't you understand?
In my time of need
Would you understand?
That I'm just havin fun
That I'm just havin fun
With you
With you
With you
With you
Hold my hand
Won't you hold my hand
In my time of need
Would you understand?
Understand, won't you understand
In my time of need
Would you understand?
That I'm just havin fun
That I'm just havin fun
That I'm just havin fun
That I'm just havin fun
With you
With you

The lyrics of Wavves's song "Post Acid" seem to be a plea to someone named Misery, asking for comfort and understanding in a time of need. The repetition of the phrase "In my time of need/Would you understand?" emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and reliance on the other person. However, the lyrics take a surprising turn with the lines "That I'm just havin fun/With you," revealing that the singer may not be as helpless as they initially appeared. The repetition of "With you" at the end of each verse reinforces this idea, indicating a strong connection and partnership between the two individuals.
In addition to the ambiguity surrounding the relationship between the singer and Misery, the lyrics are also open to interpretation in terms of the meaning of "havin fun." Is the singer trying to distract themselves from their troubles by spending time with Misery? Or are they genuinely enjoying their time together as a way to forget about their worries? The lyrics do not provide a clear answer, leaving it up to the listener to decide.
