Woozy
Glass Animals feat. Jean Deaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You love collect calls inside of your cigarettes
I still wonder why you can't seem
To get it yet
If we go half then maybe we can spend another night
Another day another chance for us to get right
Inside these walls we watch the tables turn
You say I should've had a mother
There are things that I expect you know
How you gone plant a whole seed and not expect it to grow?
We just smoking too much weed
I'm still expecting to blow
Let's take a walk
Dont forget your key baby
Let's say a prayer
Come on get down on your knees baby
Please A-ha x3
Dont get up x3
Please A-ha x3
Theres no doubt
You know i want this
Just as much as you
What if you lyin
Then im just stuck here like a fuckin fool
Ill still be stuck even if
This is the fuckin truth
You say im running from my problems
But theres no other way
If you decide to keep it
I dont know if I'mma stay
My shoulders dislocating
Breaking under all is weight
Im just thinkin bout your lateness
It's a bad time
I want to be situated before I have mine
Lets talk a walk
Dont forget your key baby
Let's say a prayer
Come on get down on your knees
Baby
In "Woozy", Glass Animals and Jean Deaux address a complex and uncertain relationship, one that is marked by tensions and misunderstandings. The song opens with an invitation to place a bet, a challenge that sets the tone for a series of questions and doubts that run through the lyrics. The first verse highlights the disparity between the two characters, as one of them seems unable or unwilling to meet the other halfway. The line "You love collect calls inside of your cigarettes" implies a sense of isolation or distance, as if the person on the other end is always out of reach. The next line "I still wonder why you can't seem to get it yet" adds to this tension, suggesting that there is something the other person is missing or not understanding.
The chorus brings a plea for connection, a desire to bridge the divide and find a way to stay together. The repeated "Please A-ha" creates a sense of urgency and need, while the "Don't get up" suggests that the singer is afraid of losing the other person. The second verse adds a layer of complexity, as the singer questions their own feelings and motives. The line "There's no doubt you know I want this, just as much as you" hints at a shared desire for something real and meaningful, but the following lines suggest a fear of being hurt or deceived. The line "What if you lyin, then I'm just stuck here like a fuckin fool" encapsulates this fear of vulnerability and betrayal, while the closing lines "Let's take a walk, let's say a prayer" suggest that the only way to move forward is through a mix of hope and faith.
Overall, "Woozy" is a fascinating exploration of a complex and fraught relationship, one that is marked by doubts, fears, and hopes. The lyrics are packed with details and emotions, creating a vivid portrait of two people struggling to make sense of each other and their feelings.

There’s no doubt - you know I want this just as much as you.
What if you lying? Then I’m stuck here like a fuckin fool
I’d still be stuck even if this is the fuckin’ truth.
You say I’m running from my problems there’s no other way
If you decide to keep it I don’t know if imma stay
My shoulders’ dislocating, breaking under all this weight
And I’m just thinking of your lateness, it’s a bad time
I wanna be situated ‘fore I have mine…
Let’s take a walk,
don’t forget your key baby.
Let’s say a prayer,
come on, get down on your knees baby…
