Domino
J.A.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a storm
Running through this world
Lost in my own mind
Changing directions
Changing feeling
Hands reaching everything
Never holding more than plain shadow
Wind around me so furious
What is left
Is a thunder of somebody’s voice
Calling me down
What is left
Is a flash of you not letting me down
What is left
Is a thunder of somebody’s voice
Calling me down
What is left
Is a flash of you not
Letting me drown
Stealing my own breath
Skin choking my ribcage
Ground under something that used to be my feet
Is no longer there
Is no longer there
Never holding more than plain shadow
Wind around me, so furious
What is left
Is a thunder of somebody’s voice
Calling me down
What is left
Is a flash of you not letting me down
What is left
Is a thunder of somebody’s voice
Calling me down
What is left
Is a flash of you not
Letting me drown
Stealing my own breath




Skin choking my ribcage
Ground under something that used to be my feet

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to J.A.E.'s song "Domino" express a feeling of being lost and overwhelmed in the world, with the singer likening themselves to a storm running through it. They are constantly changing direction and feeling but never able to hold onto anything tangible, only the "plain shadow" of what once was. The imagery of the wind surrounding them furiously and stealing their breath emphasizes the feeling of being swept away and out of control.


The thunder of somebody's voice calling them down could be interpreted as a metaphor for the pressures and expectations of society weighing on the singer, while the flash of someone not letting them drown offers a glimmer of hope and support. The final lines about the ground no longer being beneath their feet further underscores the lack of stability and solidity in their life.


Overall, the song gives voice to the feeling of being lost in a chaotic world, but also suggests the possibility of finding some anchor and support amidst it all.
