Holiday
JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put this dead fish in my hand
Paperweight baby it's my name
I hold you down coz your all the same to me
That's right
Say whatever you want baby, I'm your man
And I can help you yes I can
I can't relate coz your all the same to me
That's right
Makes no difference what they say
We're goin' on holiday
Jumped my boat off the coast at Biscay
We're goin' on holiday
Been up all night and I sleep all day
Why oh why do I live this way
Hey pretty girl sit next to me
Coz I'm a ten foot diamond Christmas tree
Makes no difference what they say
We're goin' on holiday
Hold my calls just get me on the front page
We're goin' on holiday
Makes no difference what they say
We're goin' on holiday
Jumped my boat off the coast at Biscay
We're goin' on holiday
JME's "Holiday" describes a carefree attitude towards life, with lyrics that seem to resonate with the experience of youthful abandon. The opening lines describe a situation where JME has taken an idea from another person and embodies it in the form of a dead fish that he holds as a paperweight. He then proceeds to explain how he holds nothing down, and everyone is the same to him, building on the idea of freedom and indifference to conformity. The song is full of references to carefree living, such as taking a holiday despite what people say, and jumping off boats into the ocean, dismissing the worries that life may bring.
The chorus of "Holiday" is a celebration of an easygoing approach to life, with JME declaring that he is going on holiday even though he may have stayed awake all night and slept all day. The attitude of the song encapsulates taking risks, living in the moment, and embracing life without worrying about the future.

Got this notion from another man
I got this idea from someone else
Put this dead fish in my hand
I hold something worthless and insignificant
Paperweight baby it's my name
I'm weighed down by the burdens of life
I hold you down coz your all the same to me
I feel like everyone is the same and insignificant to me
Say whatever you want baby, I'm your man
I'll do anything for you
And I can help you yes I can
I have the power to assist you
Makes no difference what they say
It doesn't matter what others think or say
We're goin' on holiday
We're taking a break from life
Jumped my boat off the coast at Biscay
Started my journey at the Bay of Biscay
Been up all night and I sleep all day
I have an unhealthy lifestyle
Why oh why do I live this way
I question my own actions and lifestyle
Hey pretty girl sit next to me
I'm attracted to you, come sit with me
Coz I'm a ten foot diamond Christmas tree
I have a lot to offer and shine like a diamond
Hold my calls just get me on the front page
I want to be famous and get attention
