HeatWave
Glowbug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cut my teeth in one resentful tribe
When something dark lightens up again,
I won't lie, It feels alright
Who wants a life on a moving train?
The never-ending mountains crawling by,
Pretending I can't see anything,
Heatwave, heatwave
Someone will ask "Now where have you been?"
And in the silence, they might crack a smile,
Well, we all know that you're talented,
But you're dead, and I'm alive
Heatwave, heatwave
Interpretation:
The opening lines of "Heatwave" by Glowbug depict the singer's past. He used to associate himself with a group of people who were not only foolish but also resentful towards someone or something. As the story progresses, the singer mentions that something dark "lightens up again." It's possible that this thing or situation occurred before and might be starting again. The singer admits that experiencing this moment feels good.
In the next few lines, the singer questions the idea of living a life on a train that keeps moving, and the mountains keep passing by, without anything interesting or meaningful happening. The singer confesses that he often pretends to turn a blind eye to everything happening around him. The repetition of the words "no heart" or "no eyes" indicates the singer's lack of interest in his surroundings.
The chorus, "Heatwave, heatwave," could be interpreted in a few different ways. One possibility is that it's referring to the intense feeling or passion the singer is experiencing. Another interpretation could be that a heatwave conveys a sense of discomfort, and the singer is in an uncomfortable situation.
The final lines of the song depict someone asking the singer where he has been. They might crack a smile, which could indicate a subtle hint of sarcasm. The singer acknowledges that he has talent, but he's alive, and the person asking is dead, indicating that the singer has moved on and grown from his past experiences.

I used to run with the idiots,
I once associated with foolish people
I cut my teeth in one resentful tribe
I learned through experience in a group full of anger
When something dark lightens up again,
When a negative situation improves
I won't lie, It feels alright
I'm enjoying the positive change
Who wants a life on a moving train?
Who would want a life of constant motion?
The never-ending mountains crawling by,
The monotonous scenery passing by
Pretending I can't see anything,
Acting like I'm oblivious to my surroundings
No heart or no eyes
Without emotion or awareness
Heatwave, heatwave
A repetition of the chorus
Someone will ask 'Now, where have you been?'
Someone will inquire about my whereabouts
And in the silence, they might crack a smile,
The silence may be broken by a smile
Well, we all know that you're talented,
Acknowledging someone's skills
But you're dead, and I'm alive
Despite their talent, they're not living to their fullest potential

on Forever and on and on and On
Over the open hands
Stretching towards an overpass
I′ve never seen a moment so unique
Under the waving palms
I can remember everything
I'd hold it tight forever if I could
I know you′re thinking about me now
I get a little scared
Talking about the other side
I wanna balance being with living in the now
We never really end
Just joined the party kinda late
All of oblivion is here to guide you home
I know you're thinking about me now
