Girl
Graham "Suggs" McPherson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who didn't know how to enjoy his life
Too busy running down the street
Running just following his feet
As a younger bristling boy
Bursting through the world
Night time obsessions
Twisting turn of left and right
Body soul and mind
Searching through dry autumn leaves
For things he cannot find
Oh girl, you've got me in a whirl
Oh girl, girl, you've got me in a whirl
Who started hanging round with plastic faces
Who started hanging round in unromantic places
Who pretty soon thought he'd really lost his mind
And when it's gone it's pretty hard to find
Oh girl, you've got me in a whirl
Oh girl, girl, you've got me in a whirl
Falling right out of the sky
Never thought you could get so high
Nothing is as it seems, to the girl, to the girl with the dream
To the girl with the dream
Oh girl, you've got me in a whirl
Oh girl, girl, you've got me in a whirl
Oh girl, oh girl, you've got me in a whirl
The song "Girl" by Graham "Suggs" McPherson tells the story of a boy who struggles to find enjoyment in his life. He is constantly running, but not sure where he is going or what he is looking for. He reminisces about his younger days, when his mind and body were free to explore the world around him. However, as he got older, he became preoccupied with societal expectations and surrounded himself with people who lacked depth and authenticity. He began to question his sanity and lost touch with his true self.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of yearning that is directed towards a girl who has captivated the boy's attention. She represents a sense of freedom and possibility that he has lost touch with. He is mesmerized by her and feels like he is in a whirlwind whenever he is around her. She is the girl with the dream, the one who sees beyond the facade and embraces her true self.
Overall, the song explores themes of self-discovery, breaking free from societal expectations, and the search for authenticity in a world that can feel shallow and inauthentic at times.
Line by Line Meaning
Here's the simple story of a boy
This is a straightforward story about a boy
Who didn't know how to enjoy his life
He wasn't able to fully enjoy life
Too busy running down the street
He was too occupied with aimless wandering
Running just following his feet
He had no particular path or destination
As a younger bristling boy
As a young, energetic boy
Bursting through the world
Full of excitement and exploration
Night time obsessions
Obsessed with nighttime activities
Like all the boys and girls
Similar to others his age
Twisting turn of left and right
Directionless, unsure of which way to go
Body soul and mind
Every part of him was searching
Searching through dry autumn leaves
Looking for something that isn't there
For things he cannot find
Unable to locate what he's searching for
Who started hanging round with plastic faces
Started to hang out with fake people
Who started hanging round in unromantic places
Frequenting emotionless environments
Who pretty soon thought he'd really lost his mind
Felt like he was going insane
And when it's gone it's pretty hard to find
Once you've lost something, it's challenging to regain
Falling right out of the sky
Falling down fast
Never thought you could get so high
Surprised by how elevated he felt
Nothing is as it seems, to the girl, to the girl with the dream
The girl with the dream realizes that appearances can be deceiving
To the girl with the dream
This sentiment is targeted specifically towards the dreamer
Oh girl, you've got me in a whirl
He's mesmerized by the girl
Oh girl, girl, you've got me in a whirl
He's completely wrapped up in her
Oh girl, oh girl, you've got me in a whirl
His feelings towards her are overwhelming
