Super 8
Grebes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i know these memories pollute my mind but i don't care
the country livings getting pretty hard, nothing to do but you can see the star, light
one in a million and its twice as far but i stayed there
someone finally listening, and its pouring out
i don't have to be anything, when i'm with you now
its easy living when your dreams have so just sit there
the city's giving you a sense of peace, your imagination's running free, like
nobody lingered and nobody freaked so i don't care
someone finally listening, and i'm bleeding out
i don't have to be anything, when i'm with you now
someones finally questioning, what i'm leaving out
i don't have to be anything, when i'm with you now
someone finally listening, and i'm bleeding out
i don't have to be anything, when i'm with you now
The lyrics to Grebes's song "Super 8" convey a sense of longing for escape and a feeling of finding solace in someone's company. The opening lines, "i took your car out for a drive, i was just looking for a place to hide," suggest a desire to temporarily escape from reality and seek refuge away from the chaos of everyday life. The mention of memories polluting the mind signifies the burden of past experiences, but the singer expresses a disregard for them.
The lyrics continue with a reference to the difficulties of living in the countryside, where there may not be much to do. However, the beauty of the stars and the sense of isolation provide comfort and a reason to stay. Here, the idea of finding solace in simplicity and natural surroundings is explored.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of having someone who truly listens, allowing the singer to be their authentic self without any pressure or expectations. This person becomes a source of emotional release, as indicated by the line "someone finally listening, and it's pouring out." The repetitive phrase "i don't have to be anything, when i'm with you now" emphasizes the freedom and acceptance that comes with being in the presence of this understanding individual.
The second verse shifts to the perspective of another individual, who finds comfort in the busy city life. The mention of taking pride in a bar suggests a temporary escape through alcohol or nightlife. However, the singer acknowledges that even in this city setting, there is a sense of peace and freedom that allows their imagination to thrive.
The repetition of the chorus in the second half of the song reinforces the theme of finding liberation and acceptance through the presence of another person. The line "someone finally questioning, what i'm leaving out" suggests that this person is curious and genuinely interested in understanding and discovering the singer's hidden vulnerabilities.
Overall, "Super 8" highlights the universal desire to escape, find solace, and feel seen and accepted by someone who truly listens.
