My My My
Eva Eastwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's making it hard for me to ride on the flow
They keep telling me are should stick to a path that is steady
Cuz′ if I leave, if I leave now, where in the world would I go
My, my, my
Well, well, well
It's the cries of a "forced into 40" that's all you can say
Well, well, well
When a newborn baby does like a change, just as well
It′s the look i′ve been wearing for ages that makes me so tired
It's the car that i drive that needs to be replaced
It′s the house that I live in that definitely needs new paint
There some lines on my face that need to be erased
Come on, come on
My, my, my
Well, well, well
It's the cries of a "forced into 40" that′s all you can say
My, my, my
Well, well, well
When a newborn baby does like a change just as well
Well we stay so steady, on a solid ground
Til we loose our faith, and we loose our minds
Come on, come on
My, my, my
Well, well, well
It's the cries of a "forced into 40" that′s all you can say
My, my, my
Well, well, well
When a newborn baby does like a change, just as well
Come on, come on
My, my, my
Well, well, well
My, my, my
Well, well, well
In Eva Eastwood's song “My My My”, she sings about feeling stuck in her life and wanting to make changes but feeling like nobody is ready for her to do so. She expresses frustration with being told to stick to a steady path and feeling like she has no other options. The repeated "my my my, well well well" serves as a lament, emphasizing that she is feeling trapped and unable to move forward.
The second stanza discusses the physical manifestations of her frustration, such as feeling tired and feeling like her car, home, and face need improvements. The song seems to culminate in the bridge, where she sings about how staying steady can lead to losing faith and losing one's mind. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "my my my, well well well".
Overall, “My My My” seems to be a song about feeling stuck in one's life and wanting to break free from expectations and routines. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and a desire for change, but also acknowledge the difficulty of doing so.
