SOUND
Jabs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today I'm feeling lazy, babe
Today I'm feeling blue
And you and you and you can call me crazy
But you crashed your car
I guess you're wrong
For the first time I'm feeling alive
We make the grand escape
Let's be killers babe

Toes in the grass
I'm really feeling your sound
Like a ghost when she said
"I'm never coming around"
I'm never coming around
I'm just really feeling your sound

When the sun goes down
The sea becomes a lady
She hit's herself onto the shore
There's no one there to save her but me
I'm her savior
See, I just flush all her waves
Take all her anger while it gets later
So very later
The stars they make up all that's living
And you can't reach her when you're winning

She responds to vulnerability
And she knows we've got abilities
So she tries to bring it out to me
She brings it out in me

Anger, later darap darap darap darap darap
Darap darap darap darap darap
Darap darap darap darap darap

Toes in the grass
I'm really feeling your sound
Like a ghost when she said
"I'm never coming around"
(Never coming, never coming)




I'm never coming around
I'm just really feeling your sound

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to JABS & Willow Smith's song "Sound" deal with complex emotions and introspection. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer expressing a sense of laziness and sadness. They acknowledge that others may think they are crazy, but they also mention that the person they are addressing has crashed their car, implying that they also have their own faults and flaws. Despite this, they feel alive for the first time in a while.


The chorus further explores the singer's feelings, describing a connection with someone's sound. This sound is compared to a ghost who has declared they will never return. It is unclear whether this is a relationship or a metaphorical representation of feeling disconnected from the world. Nevertheless, the singer is captivated by this sound and desires to experience it.


The second verse introduces the sea as a representation of emotional turmoil. The singer sees themselves as the savior, calming the sea's waves and absorbing its anger. The stars are referenced as a symbol of life, and the singer suggests that it is impossible to reach the sea or truly connect with it when focused on winning or success. The sea, symbolizing vulnerability, brings out certain qualities in the singer.


Overall, "Sound" presents a unique blend of introspection, emotional vulnerability, and a desire for connection.
