Juice
Camp Howard Lyrics

The first verse of "Juice" by Camp Howard speaks to the fear and uncertainty of moving forward when things are in flux. The singer admits to not being able to see past the "break of this wave", implying that they feel overwhelmed or caught in the momentum of something larger. Despite this, the singer proclaims that they will "always be yours", which can be interpreted in a number of ways. It could be seen as a declaration of love, a statement of loyalty, or a confirmation of identity. The fact that this line is repeated in both verses underscores its importance.

The second verse touches on the theme of conflict and forgetfulness. The singer acknowledges their inability to quit something, even if they don't quite understand why they are fighting. They express frustration at having to go to work, as if it is a mundane and unfulfilling obligation. Here again, the singer declares that they will always belong to someone or something, potentially as a way of grounding themselves in the midst of these uncertainties.

The bridge offers some concrete imagery to complement the more abstract language of the verses. The ivy, which is traditionally associated with resilience and growth, is "cold", possibly suggesting that it has been cut off from a source of warmth or vitality. The kitchen floor, usually a site of nourishment and sustenance, is "hidden" by the ivy. This juxtaposition of warmth and coldness, growth and concealment, reflects the overall mood of the song: the struggle to find solid ground and direction in the midst of complex emotions.
