Social Jetlag
Beach Fossil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I found the door
And then you open up my hand
Where you wanna go?
Can we start all our time over again?
Can we start all our time over again?
Been awake for days
In the shadow of the night
I wanna fade away
Can we start all our time over again?
Can we start all our time over again?
The song "Social Jetlag" by Beach Fossils appears to be a reflective piece capturing the feelings of someone who is contemplating starting over, beginning again. In the opening verse, the lyrics "Say that you want me here, And I'll find a door" suggest that the singer is willing to stay to work things out, but only if there is a way to repair the relationship. The line "Then you open up my hand, Where you want to go" hints at a certain vulnerability and that the other person is responsible for the direction they take.
In the chorus, the lyrics "Can we start all our time over again" are a plea for a clean slate, to erase the past and start anew. The repetition of the line emphasizes the desire of the singer to leave the past behind and start fresh.
The second verse describes the urgency that the singer feels about the situation. The line "Been awake for days" implies that the singer has been lost in thought, unable to sleep while worrying about the situation. The line "In the shadow of the night, I wanna fade away" suggests an overwhelming feeling of helplessness, where the singer wishes that they could disappear or fade away to avoid the pain of the situation.
Overall, the song portrays an emotional journey of someone who wants to leave the past behind and start again, but is unclear on whether it is even possible.

Grab a box of tissues, cry or go on a late night drive and forget about the world. Either way, this whole band is a vibe.

This song feels like after being up all night and early morning. It’s cloudy while the sun comes up, making it feel so melancholy that it’s another day.

this was actually the soundtrack of my Anxiety breakdown in my way to work. Was rocking this album in my phones and I started having these terrible thoughts about the end of my youth, the prison my job was, my friends and my loneliness and then I Jumped out of the bus and ran away back home. Walked for 2h and went home in safety. Later that week my job got me fired but everything turned ok after this.
