Sixtyniner
Boards of Canada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive. They lived happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. All my fears disappeared. All that was left was a kiss. Every move we made was a kiss.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boards of Canada's "Sixtyniner" tell a story of a first sexual encounter, one that was intimate and emotionally charged. The language used in the lyrics is highly descriptive, and it expresses a sense of wonder and awe at the experience. The small room at the beach where the encounter takes place is described as the perfect place for it, and when the two people come together, the sensation is powerful enough to make the singer feel as though he is growing hair on his chest. The experience is so intense that he feels as though he has seen both his past and his future.


Interestingly, the lyrics then take a twist, saying "They lived happily ever after" - suggesting that this encounter has resulted in a lasting, committed relationship. All of the singer's fears and questions have been answered, and there is a sense of completeness in the relationship brought about by the sexual connection. The phrase "Every move we made was a kiss" emphasises the intimacy of the encounter and the intense connection between the two people involved. It is a highly romantic and emotional expression of a first-time experience that has led to a deeper level of emotional connection between two people.
