Updated 04/23/2022: You donโt know Jai Wolf like you think you do. After hundreds of millions of streams on indie-dance anthems like โIndian Summerโ and โStarlight,โ blockbuster festival sets from Indio to India, and co-signs from the likes of Skrillex and ODESZA, itโs clear from the opening notes of Jai Wolfโs long-awaited debut album The Cure to Loneliness that he sees the expectations around his name as an opportunity to challenge convention.
โจ
The Cure to Loneliness finds Jai Wolf completing his evolution from upstart bedroom remixer to future bass DJ to builder of lush musical worlds. While still very much dancefloor-focused, some tracks on the LP conjure the angular riffage of The Strokes and Phoenix, weave melodies through the sugary happysad of M83 and CHVRCHES, or build up walls of sound like Explosions in the Skyโall while maintaining the melodious polish and evocative groove to which fans have grown so close.
โจ
โIn my heart, this album is me,โ says Jai Wolf. โFrom the sounds to the lyrics, itโs everything that Iโve always wanted to do.โ Taking a different approach to many of his contemporaries under the wing of indie darling label Mom+Pop (Courtney Barnett, Flume, Jagwar Ma, Alina Baraz), Jai Wolf largely eschewed singles over the course of two years to patiently craft The Cure to Loneliness. The result is a thoughtfully framed, confidently expressed musical vision that will tug at heartstrings in 2019 and long beyond.

Jai Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like, it feels like you're gone
When the blue light hits your dark side, I'm lost
And I could never believe it when you said it'd be good tonight
But when I saw you with him, it made me dead inside
Just grab my hand and don't let go
I'll close my eyes 'til I explode
I'm drowning when I lose control
It feels like, it feels like my fault
When I found you right by the dusk
I don't wanna keep playing these games with you anymore
It feels like I'm sinking and I'm searching for the shore
Just grab my hand and don't let go
Right before the fear takes hold
I'll close my eyes 'til I explode
I'm drowning when I lose control
Just grab my hand and don't let go
(I'm drowning, I'm drowning)
Right before the fear takes hold
(I'm drowning, I'm drowning)
I'll close my eyes 'til I explode
(I'm drowning, I'm drowning)
I'm drowning when I lose control
(Don't let go)
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
(Grab my hand, just, just grab my hand)
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
(Grab my hand, just, just grab my hand)
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
The lyrics to Jai Wolf and Robokid's song "Drowning" discuss the feeling of losing someone or something and feeling like you're drowning when you don't have control. The song uses aquatic imagery to emphasize the feeling of being overwhelmed and helpless. The lyrics "It feels like, it feels like you're gone" and "It feels like, it feels like my fault" suggest that the singer has lost someone significant but feels guilty about it.
The second verse of the song sees the singer searching desperately for something to hold on to - "It feels like I'm sinking and I'm searching for the shore." The repeated refrain of "Just grab my hand and don't let go" is a plea for comfort and for someone to help anchor the singer to reality. The line "I'll close my eyes 'til I explode" suggests that the singer feels like they're holding in a tremendous amount of pain or emotion and needs an outlet to release it.
Overall, the song "Drowning" is a very emotional track that touches on themes of heartbreak and feeling overwhelmed. The aquatic imagery and repeated refrain of "drowning" emphasizes the feeling of being lost and helpless.

It feels like, it feels like you're gone
I feel like you're no longer with me.
When the blue light hits your dark side, I'm lost
I get lost when I see your hidden side illuminated.
And I could never believe it when you said it'd be good tonight
I didn't believe you when you promised it would be a good night.
But when I saw you with him, it made me dead inside
Seeing you with someone else left me feeling empty.
It feels like, it feels like my fault
It seems like I am responsible for our current situation.
When I found you right by the dusk
When I found you near the end of the day.
I don't wanna keep playing these games with you anymore
I do not want to continue engaging in these love games with you.
It feels like I'm sinking and I'm searching for the shore
I feel like I'm drowning and trying to find a way out.
Just grab my hand and don't let go
Hold my hand tightly and never let it go.
Right before the fear takes hold
Before I become overwhelmed with fear.
I'll close my eyes 'til I explode
I'll keep my eyes shut until I can't hold it in anymore.
I'm drowning when I lose control
I feel like I'm drowning when I don't have control.
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I feel like I'm drowning.
(Grab my hand, just, just grab my hand)
Hold my hand.
(Don't let go)
Never let go of my hand.
