Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Relax
Sixteen are you still
I try I come back it's from cool
I fade a long weekends
Edu exboyfriend when he died
Be a long you understood
Isn't it an ordinary song?
Styrofoam
I don't never feel on
Like tryed it
We never left
And you come and down
I don't try be perfect
We never left
Is not so easy when you down
I'm some good
I'm some memoir
When do I believe a long?
Styrofoam
Styrofoam
I'm some good
I'm some memoir
When do I believe a long?
Styrofoam
Styrofoam
Styrofoam
The lyrics of "Styrofoam" by Daniel Powter seem to be a collection of disjointed thoughts and memories that are brought together through the repeated references to the title word. The song appears to be a reflection on the difficulty of keeping things together in life, with the titular material representing the fragile and transient nature of things. The repetition of "we never left" suggests a longing for permanence and stability.
The opening lines suggest a desire to escape from reality and find some kind of peace, but the following lines reveal that such escapes are temporary and ultimately lead to a sense of loss and isolation. The reference to an ex-boyfriend who has died adds a poignant note to the song, suggesting that even the most intense connections can be broken by time and circumstance. The repeated refrain of "I'm some good, I'm some memoir" suggests a desire to hold onto memories as a way of preserving one's identity in the face of change and loss.
