Bowls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I be anyone but myself
But it′s hard
And it tears him apart
Cause people don't appreciate
How straight
And afraid
He is
And she said come here you
How can I get enough of you
Who knows why
She feels kinda shy
But that′s okay
Cause we'll just wait
Till it's late
In the night
The lyrics to Bowls's song Jaded explore the theme of self-acceptance and love. The first verse features a person who is struggling to be true to themselves in a world where people don't appreciate those who are different. The lyrics, "How can I be anyone but myself, but it's hard, and it tears him apart" express the difficulty of being true to oneself and the pain it can cause. The person is portrayed as straight and afraid, indicating that they feel like an outsider in a world where being different is not always accepted. Despite this, the person still strives to be themselves.
The second verse features a woman who is in love, but she struggles with expressing her feelings. She tells her partner, "How can I get enough of you, who knows why she feels kinda shy, but that's okay cause we'll just wait till it's late in the night." The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and hesitation in expressing one's love, but the couple is willing to wait until they're alone, where they can be themselves and appreciate each other without any judgment or criticism.

He looked at me and said
He made eye contact with me and uttered
How can I be anyone but myself
It puzzles him that he could possibly be someone other than his true self
But it′s hard
However, being himself is a challenging task
And it tears him apart
It emotionally wounds him because of how difficult it is to be genuine
Cause people don't appreciate
His authenticity is not valued by society
How straight
How honest and sincere
And afraid
Yet still fearful of rejection and criticism
He is
That is his nature
And she said come here you
She beckoned him to approach her
How can I get enough of you
She admires him so deeply that she can't get enough of his presence
Who knows why
It's unclear why she feels this way
She feels kinda shy
She experiences a mild form of social anxiety
But that′s okay
It's acceptable, nothing to worry about
Cause we'll just wait
They will be patient
Till it's late
Until the night is advanced

It feels so good to hear songs like this. Artists like Prateek Kuhad , Shantanu Pandit and now Dhruv Bhola have such an amazing vision when it comes to music. All I do is search for other indie artists like them.
