Smile Upon Me
Passion Pit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever you're ?
And I wanted to tell you then
To try a bird's nest
And it's truth you know
Its always the issue
And when it starts getting blurry
Ones never better than two
There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you
So find a place as this forever divine
Oh yeah you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the seasons bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you too
I don't know what are you now
Since everything has changed
If I did know one thing
Its me whose feeling strange
Yes everything is different
And I don't react well
The changes that come when
Your life's becoming hell
There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you
So find a place as this forever divine
Oh yeah you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the seasons bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you too
The lyrics to Passion Pit's song "smileuponme" express a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the people who support us when we're feeling lost or troubled. The song is a tribute to a close friend who has stood by the singer through thick and thin, and who always makes them feel better no matter what kind of day they're having.
The first verse begins by acknowledging the power of friendship, describing how everything in life feels better when this special person is around. The singer then reveals that they had wanted to share something with the friend in question - the idea of trying a bird's nest. This could be seen as a metaphor for getting out of one's comfort zone and trying new things, and the fact that the singer had the impulse to share this idea speaks to the deep level of trust and openness in their relationship.
The second verse speaks more broadly about the difficulties of life and the importance of having someone who understands and supports us. The singer admits that things have changed and they are feeling strange, but that they can always count on their friend to make them feel better. The chorus then repeats the message that this person is the best damn friend the singer will ever have, and that they will always smile upon each other no matter what.
Overall, "smileuponme" is a touching tribute to the power of friendship and the importance of having someone in our lives who we can always count on. It speaks to the deep emotional connections that we can form with others, and the way in which these connections can sustain us through even the darkest of times.
