Big Big World
Jamaica Soundsystem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a big big girl
in a big big world
It's not a big big thing
if you leave me
but I do do feel
that I too too will miss you much
I can see the first leaf falling
it's all yellow and nice
It's so very cold outside
like the way I'm feeling inside
I'm a big big girl
in a big big world
It's not a big big thing
if you leave me
but I do do feel that
I too too will miss you much
miss you much...
Outside it's now raining
and tears are falling from my eyes
why did it have to happen
why did it all have to end
I'm a big big girl
in a big big world
It's not a big big thing
if you leave me
but I do do feel that
I too too will miss you much
miss you much...
I have your arms around me
ooooh like fire
but when I open my eyes
you're gone...
I'm a big big girl
in a big big world
It's not a big big thing
if you leave me
but I do do feel
that I too too will
miss you much
miss you much...
I'm a big big girl
in a big big world
It's not a big big thing
if you leave me
but I do feel I will
miss you much
miss you much...
The lyrics of Jamaica Soundsystem's song "Big Big World" express the feelings of a girl who is unsure about her place in the world, and her feelings for someone who may be leaving her. Although she claims that it's not a big thing if they leave her, she admits that she will miss them. The repetition of "miss you much" emphasizes her strong emotions, and the lyrics suggest that she feels small and alone in the world without her loved one.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the girl explaining that she feels small in a big world. She is acknowledging her own sense of insignificance, which makes the presence of her loved one all the more important to her. The second verse describes the changing of seasons, which mirrors the shifting of her emotions. She feels cold and alone, just like the outside world. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the way she feels about the departure of her loved one.
In the final verse, the girl remembers the warmth of her loved one's arms around her, but when she opens her eyes, they're gone. The lyric "like fire" suggests that their love was intense, but is now extinguished. The song comes full circle with the final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing her sense of loss.
Overall, "Big Big World" speaks to the experience of feeling small and alone in a big world, and the importance of human connection in making us feel like we matter. The song conveys a sense of loss and longing, while also acknowledging the girl's resilience in the face of such emotions.
