Candy Girl
DATS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said goodbye to my little friend as she said
at that moment filled with grey light got out of sight

I wanna get hot
I wanna get high
melt into the sky

falling down, splashing up on her forehead
pull me up, take me high up, candy girl

I said hello to the snow
showed how I get out
and I was frozen in a posture
got rid of light

I wanna get hot
I wanna get high
melt into the sky

falling down, splashing up on her forehead
pull me up, take me high up, candy girl

my eyes were closed below the sky
float on the ocean
but I could taste her bittersweet
melt in to the sky





falling down, splashing up on her forehead
pull me up, take me high up, candy girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DATS's "Candy girl" are somewhat ambiguous and difficult to decipher, as they do not follow a clear narrative structure and are open to multiple interpretations. However, one possible interpretation is that the song is about a person who is seeking escape from the mundane and gray aspects of their life, and is using drugs or other means of altering their consciousness to achieve this escape.


The first verse seems to describe a parting from someone or something ("I said goodbye to my little friend") and a desire to "get hot" and "get high" and "melt into the sky." This could be interpreted as a reference to drug use, as the metaphor of "melting" into the sky suggests a sense of dissolution or loss of self. The second verse describes a similarly intense desire to escape, with the image of "hello to the snow" suggesting a physical sensation of coldness and numbness.


Throughout the song, the repeated refrain of "falling down, splashing up on her forehead" and "pull me up, take me high up, candy girl" suggests a sense of surrender or submission, as if the singer is being carried along by some irresistible force. The final lines, in which the singer floats on the ocean and tastes something "bittersweet," suggest a sense of both pleasure and danger, as if the singer is enjoying the sensation of being carried away but also aware of the risk involved.


Overall, "Candy girl" seems to be a dreamy, surrealistic song that explores themes of escape, pleasure, and risk-taking. Its lyrics are open to multiple interpretations, and may offer different meanings to different listeners, depending on their own experiences and perspectives.

I said goodbye to my little friend as she said
In that moment with dim light, I had to bid adieu to my friend


I wanna get hot
I desire to feel the heat

I aspire to reach great heights


melt into the sky
I want to merge with the vast expanse of the sky

I fell and it splashed on her forehead

I was stuck in a frozen position


got rid of light
The light disappeared


my eyes were closed below the sky
I had my eyes shut while under the sky


float on the ocean
I found myself floating on the ocean


but I could taste her bittersweet
But her bittersweetness was still present


melt in to the sky
I wanted to dissolve into the sky


pull me up, take me high up, candy girl
Please help me get up and take me to greater heights, candy girl
