The Sound
Flip & Def Jaguar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will take the low road
This path's worn down and beaten in
I know it well
'Round the bend we go
I know this fo sho
I could love you a little more
Love you a little more
Try practicing
Oh, that hollow sound
Feels like home
Waiting around
To find my soul
And all of these empty days
Slowly fade away like
Last sip wiped the window clean
I'm feeling good now
Sunshine went and killed the dream
What do I do now
I pretend to know
Say the world moves slow
And you could love me a little more
Love me a little more
Can you feel that sting
Every time you sing
You say
Oh, that hollow sound
Feels like home
Waiting around
To find my soul
And all of these empty days
Slowly fade away like
And all of these empty days
Slowly fade away like
The lyrics of "The Sound" by Flip & Def Jaguar depict a sense of introspection and emotional turmoil. The singer expresses a desire to escape their current reality by strapping bricks on their feet, symbolizing a burden they are carrying. They choose to take the low road, a path that is well-worn and familiar to them. Despite the weariness of this journey, the singer is willing to continue forward and acknowledges their own feelings of love and vulnerability. The refrain "Can you feel that sting, try practicing" implies a sense of pain and the need to cope with it.
The mention of a "hollow sound" that feels like home suggests a sense of emptiness that the singer has become accustomed to. They are waiting around, searching for their soul amidst the backdrop of mundane and repetitive days that slowly fade away. The struggle to find meaning and purpose is evident in the way the singer navigates through the challenges and disappointments of life.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on a moment of clarity or contentment, symbolized by wiping the window clean and feeling good. However, this moment is fleeting as the sunshine "went and killed the dream." The singer pretends to have knowledge or understanding of the world moving slowly, perhaps as a coping mechanism to make sense of their own circumstances. They also express a desire for love and connection, yearning for someone to love them a little more amidst the pain and uncertainty they feel.
The repetition of the refrain reinforces the themes of emptiness, longing, and the passage of time. The singer grapples with the transient nature of life and the constant fading of days that feel empty and devoid of purpose. Through these lyrics, Flip & Def Jaguar capture the complexities of human emotions, the struggle for self-discovery, and the yearning for connection in a world that can often feel hollow and uncertain.

Strap bricks on my feet again
Weighting myself down once more
I will take the low road
Choosing the path of least resistance
This path's worn down and beaten in
Familiar with the struggles along the way
I know it well
Acquainted with the hardships
'Round the bend we go
Continuing on this difficult journey
I know this fo sho
Confident in my understanding
I could love you a little more
I have the capacity to show more love
Love you a little more
Being open to deeper connections
Can you feel that sting
Do you sense the pain
Try practicing
Attempting to improve
And all of these empty days
Days that lack fulfillment
Slowly fade away like
Gradually disappearing
Last sip wiped the window clean
Clearing my mind with a final drink
I'm feeling good now
Currently experiencing positivity
Sunshine went and killed the dream
Realizing that reality can shatter illusions
What do I do now
Uncertain about the next steps
I pretend to know
Putting up a facade of understanding
Say the world moves slow
Believing that time passes at a leisurely pace
And you could love me a little more
Acknowledging the potential for deeper affection
Love me a little more
Seeking greater emotional intimacy
