Gavin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good morning america, you're my favorite t. v. show
Slow down now, I've a headache,
Sometimes it's hard to think,
The phone rings how are you? oh! I'm not up to much
You don't say, oh really! it'll end.... end in tears

here I go again,
All I have is what I might have been
Where's my long lost friends?
Somewhere over the rainbow

when the dark clouds come,
The angel valium will call
To take me far away,
To a place where I don't have to feel

I'm happy as I hoover, it's one o'clock, time for lunch
Marshmallows with coffee,
Can't forget my slimfast drink,
The garden's depressing, I think I need a hair-do
A gin and a tonic, ah! that should do the trick

here I go again,
All I have is what I might have been
Where's my long lost friends?
Somewhere over the rainbow

when the dark clouds come,
The angel valium will call
To take me far away,
To a place where I don't have to feel

it's Monday afternoon, the kids are off at school
Sunset boulevard, the channel four matinee
Sit down, relax with a nice cup of tea....




.... oh! the sweet smell of butane.... and humdrum.
.... gloria swanson.... from here to eternity....

Overall Meaning

The song โ€œKitchen Sink Dramaโ€ by Gavin Friday is a commentary on the mundane of life. It talks about a protagonist who is going through life lacking any excitement, ambition or fuel to do anything significant. The opening lyrics state โ€œGood morning, America, you're my favorite TV show. Slow down now, I've a headache, Sometimes it's hard to thinkโ€ which suggests that the singer is watching TV to escape their mundane life full of headaches and hard thoughts. The rest of the lyrics delve deeper into this protagonistโ€™s monochromatic life, where they are plagued with lack of connections with old friends, depression in the garden and a dark space where the only relief is possibly Valium.


The song is about a person who is living the life that is expected of them, a life that is devoid of excitement and creativity. Someone who is stuck in a cycle of mundanity, with little to look forward to. The chorus โ€œHere I go again, All I have is what I might have been. Where's my long lost friends? Somewhere over the rainbow when the dark clouds comeโ€ speaks to the fact that the singer is aware of their situation but canโ€™t seem to extricate themselves from the cycle they find themselves in. The song can be interpreted as a commentary on how conformity can be the death of creativity, ambition and excitement.

I feel for Elliana and what she endured at such a young age. I'm happy that she was not overly traumatized growing up distrusting others (males). One thing is for sure, she has a loving mother who has her back. I love their relationship. I look forward to seeing more vlogs and pranks!

I love how Elliana is not ashamed about telling us this and will never be ashamed

I feel so bad for Ellie for what she went through as a child. I'm just so happy that she has a loving mother who has her daughter's back and her father too who is willing to make sure that they are both safe.

What Ellie went through from such a young age must have been so traumatic, I hope things het better in the future
