How Gravity Killed My Dreams
Dandy Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
on such a shit issue
they all think it matters
so what we don't drink tea
will you stop listening?
they all think it matters
every little thing I do
Do you think that I don't know?
I bet you wink to yourself in the mirror
So many of you
and I can see right through
they might think it matter
we don't appear on MTV
will you stop listening?
they all think it matters
I'm tired of having to think before
every little thing I do
All I want is for you to just stay
who you think you are
I'm tired of having to think before
every little thing I dooooooooooo
The lyrics to Dandy Boy's song "How Gravity Killed My Dreams" address the idea of people worrying too much about small issues that ultimately do not matter. The line "So many views on such a shit issue" suggests that people are adding unnecessary weight to something insignificant. The repetition of "they all think it matters" emphasizes the point that these small issues do not have as much importance as people make them out to have.
The lyric "so what we don't drink tea, will you stop listening?" is likely a nod to cultural differences and how they can be used to judge or ostracize someone. The lyricist is saying that these differences should not be considered deal breakers in the grand scheme of things. The frustration in the line "I'm tired of having to think before every little thing I do" suggests that the pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations is exhausting.
Overall, the song seems to be a critique of superficiality and the importance that people place on trivial things. The lyricist is suggesting that people should focus more on being true to themselves and less on fitting into narrow societal expectations.
