Muddy Funster
DJ Koze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for
But you gave me a grin
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for
But you gave me a grin

This is not even a close call
But a must
I would have done it differently
But that's on me
I can jump off a building, I'm a hero
That's on me

I believe the climate is changing, oh yeah
Yeah, we've done this a few times, we've compared a lot
I wouldn't have done it differently but that's on me

Hardly a man takes a half hour nap after dinner
But when he wake he holds up his head and dances
Furniture
What's the news? To a hammer everything looks like a nail

They spoke about their children and their fears about the future
Therapy without the therapist





One day I'll simply close my eyes and nothing happened

The repeated refrain “Wasn’t you I was tiptoeing for, but you gave me a grin” suggests a sense of surprise or even disbelief at the fact that a connection has been made despite not necessarily seeking it out. This sentiment is further underscored by the line “This is not even a close call but a must,” which implies a sense of inevitability or fate.

The singer of the song seems to be expressing a willingness to take bold actions, even if they may not always be advisable or successful. The final lines of the song, “One day I’ll simply close my eyes and nothing happened,” suggest a sense of finality or resigned acceptance of the unpredictable nature of life.


Overall, the lyrics of Muddy Funster are open-ended and enigmatic, inviting listeners to draw their own conclusions about their meaning.

It's rare for someone to take a nap after dinner, but when they wake up they're refreshed and ready to take on the world. Objects in a room can influence what you do. If all you have is a hammer, you see everything as a nail.


They spoke about their children and their fears about the future Therapy without the therapist
They discussed their worries and concerns about their children's future. It was like they were in therapy, but without a psychotherapist guiding the session.


One day I'll simply close my eyes and nothing happened
Someday, I will pass away and my life will end. There will be no more experiences or memories to create or remember.
