Officially 2.30 p.m.
Anomia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you check that phone?
Can't you hear the phone?
I was doing other
I was having other
Are you still alone?
Are you still alone?
I don't think it matters
I don't think it matters
Circles in my brain are getting started by my veins now

I don't care where you go, which direction, cuz I know
I won't be set aside while I'm keeping strong my mike
You can scream little more but there's music in my core
…and I am deaf and I am blind
I hope that you won't mind
And I'm the thief that you won't find
That you won't find

I would like to know
Where you're going to go…
Destination: somewhere
I don't know but somewhere
So what's going on?
So what's going on?
The Floor is catching fire
Floor is catching fire
Circles in my brain are getting started by my veins now

I don't care where you go, which direction, 'cuz I know
I won't be set aside while I'm keeping strong my mike
You can scream little more but there's music in my core
…and I am deaf and I am blind
I hope that you won't mind
And I'm the thief that you won't find, that you wont find!





What's going on, what's going on?
It's down the floor!!!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Anomia's song "Officially 2.30 p.m." seem to be speaking to someone who is constantly on their phone, asking them if they have checked it and if they can hear it ringing. However, the other person seems preoccupied or distant, as they claim to have been "doing other" things. The singer does not seem to care where the other person goes or what they do, as they feel confident in their own abilities and passion for music. The repetition of "circles in my brain" suggests that the singer's mind is constantly spinning, perhaps with ideas or creative inspiration, that are being "started by [their] veins." The song ends with an emphatic declaration that "It's down the floor," which could be interpreted as a reference to the other person being defeated or giving up.


Overall, the song seems to be exploring themes of independence, self-expression, and disconnection from technology. The singer wants to focus on their own music and creativity, rather than being distracted by other people's phones and messages. They also seem to be confident in their own abilities and unconcerned with where others are going or what they are doing. The line about being "deaf and blind" could suggest that the singer is deliberately tuning out other people's opinions or judgments in order to focus on their own artistic vision.
