Playground
Eraserheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And see what's goin' on tonight
Come step inside my playground
Be spellbound in my playground
Shootin' pictures of the stardust
Teacher in a carpet morsel with a scarlet letter
A tight rope actor of a night set seller
Up in the sky take a twist with a fly-girl dream
Casting a charm that's quite obscene
Come step inside my playground
And see whats goin' on tonight
Come step inside my playground
Be spellbound in my playground
Bouncing colors let the moon shine sonar
Afternoon time slipin' with the sand dune buggy
Eye witness go through fried rice topic
On it's side step sister got to be wild honey
Being in the clouds is a trip to the silver screen
Play sixteen bars on the tambourine
Come step inside my playground
And see whats goin' on tonight
Come step inside my playground
Be spellbound in my playground
You are the tv dynamite that I've been waiting for
Tune in the secret radio station that will carry on
Come step inside my playground
And see whats goin' on tonight
Come step inside my playground
Be spellbound in my playground
Come step inside my playground
See whats goin' on tonight
Come step inside my playground
See whats goin' on, see what's goin' on tonight
The song Playground by Eraserheads is a whimsical invitation into the world of the singer's imagination. The opening lines immediately set the stage for entering into the singer's playground, a place where anything is possible and the normal laws of reality don't apply. The playful feel of the song is carried through with the use of visual imagery and nonsensical lines like "shootin' pictures of the stardust" and "bouncing colors let the moon shine sonar". However, there are also darker elements woven into the lyrics with references to themes such as social ostracism ("teacher in a carpet morsel with a scarlet letter") and taboo desires ("casting a charm that's quite obscene").
Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of creativity, imagination, and self-expression. The singer is inviting the listeners to join them in their world and be spellbound by the possibilities. The chorus repeats the invitation several times, emphasizing the welcome extended to all who want to join in the fun.
