Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the water flow as I watch him go
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold
Oh, no, buddy, don't you cry as they go
Life changes all of us
It's not your fault no, no, no

(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever

(Oh)

Where the sky is blue forever

Life is deepest business you know
Who's gonna care for your bleeding soul?
Take a run, take a run with me
Where the sky is blue forever

Till the end of time

Hum dear buddy, don't you cry when she goes
'Cause life is cynical despite your heart of gold
Oh, no, buddy, don't you cry as they go
Life makes us critical and all we gotta change about

(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever

(Oh)

Where the sky is blue forever

Life is deepest business you know
Who's gonna care for you're bleeding soul?
Take a run, take a run with me
Where the sky is blue forever

Run where
Run where
Run where
Run where
Run where
Run where (Where the sky is blue forever)

(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever

(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever

Till the end of time

Overall Meaning

The song XXX 88 by MØ is an interesting take on the subject of life and its inevitable changes. The lyrics suggest that life is a cynical business, and despite having a good heart, one can be affected by these changes. The opening lines of "I feel the water flow as I watch him go" portray the feeling of being helpless and watching someone leave with the flow of water. The lyrics further convey the message that no matter how hard one tries, life is bound to change and make us critical. The song encourages the listener to run away with the singer where the sky is blue forever to escape the harsh realities of life.


The song can be seen as an anthem for those who feel unheard or insecure in their lives. The lyrics convey that life is indeed deep business, and it is up to oneself to care for their own bleeding soul. The phrase "Till the end of time" is repeated at the end of each verse, suggesting that the singer wants to be with the listener forever, where nothing can change or hurt them. The song is an escape from reality, a way to take a break from life's worries and stresses and be free.

Something about this woman is captivating. I am not sure if it is her beautiful voice, awkward dancing, lack of make-up, or the complete lack of fucks she appears to give. I'm gonna go with yes.

@jozefchmelar2769
