Theme
Imami Pon & BA.M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s cloudy with the ever so slight chance of rain
I leave the house at 10:15
I parked my car directly in front of the gate
This is my kinda scene
The food stalls are open but empty
The show performers are phoning it in
But the lines are shorter than they normally are
Let the fun begin
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The Tilt-a-whirl has empty chairs
All the B-list mascots are greeting guests
Whatever guests there are to meet
I got myself a picture with Snoopy’s cousin’s roommate's former mailman, Pete
The carousel horses called in sick
Now it’s just a spinning tent
That minor oddity won’t stop my fun
Finite-time on Earth well spent
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The Ferris wheel has empty chairs
The food stalls are open but empty
The show performers are phoning it in
But the lines are shorter than they normally are
Let the fun begin
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The tilt-a-whirl has empty chairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The kiddie rides have empty chairs
We’re fading out
We’re fading out




You know we're fading out
We're fading out

Overall Meaning

In the song Theme, Imami Pon and BA.M paint a vivid picture of a visit to a theme park on a Wednesday. The song is about finding joy and excitement in the small things in life. The opening line 'It’s cloudy with the ever so slight chance of rain' sets the tone for the song's whimsical leisurely tempo. The singer leaves the house at 10:15, parks the car directly in front of the gate, and enters the theme park. As he walks in, he notices that the food stalls and show performers are open but empty, the B-list mascots are greeting guests, and the carousel horses are sick. Despite all these minor setbacks, the singer chooses to focus on the positive and looks forward to having fun.


The recurring lines 'Going to a theme park on a Wednesday, my favorite ride is closed for repairs,' and 'Going to a theme park on a Wednesday, the tilt-a-whirl has empty chairs' remind the listener that the singer is still enjoying himself despite not being able to ride his favorite attraction. The song's ending repeats 'We're fading out' to signify that the fun has come to an end, much like a theme park's closing announcement. Overall, the lyrics emphasize the importance of cherishing life's simple pleasures, treating oneself to fun activities, and enjoying the moment as it comes.
