Girl
Daniel L. K. Caldwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meet me at the corner of hope and hopeless
Try
To follow me I know a way out
It's your life
So try not to get stuck
In this crazy circus
Misery loves company
[Chorus]
Kiss kiss
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
This is gonna be a late night
Get get
Up and let it go
We've got the right to
Take this party over
Changing up the sound
Check your ego it's all a blur
Desperate boys and stupid girls
Same old destinations
We're all falling down
Like broken plastic wind-up toys
Desperate girls and stupid boys
Drink
Drawing just because
Are you even thirsty?
Sink
Into another conversation
You won't remember
[Chorus]
Your desperation is not unique
Infatuation of the week
Your dedication to your drink
Spills over
Drive
Meet me at the corner of hope and hopeless
Try
To follow me I know a way out
[Chorus]
The song "Girl" by Daniel L. K. Caldwell features a number of lyrics that speak to the universal experiences of young people. One of the most interesting aspects of this song is how it portrays the idea of getting lost in the chaos of life. The opening line, "Meet me at the corner of hope and hopeless," can be seen as a metaphor for the struggle to find one's way in a world that can seem both confusing and full of possibilities.
Throughout the rest of the song, Caldwell touches on themes like infatuation, desperation, and the search for meaning. The lines "Misery loves company / So let's dance until we die" suggest that sometimes it's easier to just give in to the craziness of it all and enjoy the ride. However, the song also acknowledges that this kind of lifestyle can be ultimately unfulfilling, as seen in the lines "Desperate boys and stupid girls / Same old destinations / We're all falling down".
Overall, "Girl" is a thoughtful and poetic exploration of what it means to be young and searching for meaning in a world that can be both exhilarating and overwhelming.
