Devotion
Jay Som Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feel the motions
Needed a bath to find
The strange devotion
I changed my mind
Won't look no further
Just takes some time
To earth, to earth
It's only change
It's only change
I changed my mind
Just takes some time
I wanna change, I wanna change
I wanna change, I wanna change (I won't, I won't)
I wanna change, I wanna change (I won't, I won't)
I wanna change, I wanna change (I won't, I won't)
The lyrics of Jay Som's song "Devotion" delve into themes of personal growth and the desire for change. The opening lines, "Used to be the one to cry and feel the motions, needed a bath to find the strange devotion," suggest a past state of vulnerability and emotional instability. The singer reflects on their former self and reveals their longing for a deeper connection or sense of purpose. The mention of needing a bath to find "strange devotion" could symbolize the need for cleansing and self-discovery in order to find a sense of dedication or commitment.
The chorus emphasizes the notion of change, with the repetition of the line "It's only change." This suggests that change is a natural part of life, and perhaps the singer is now more accepting of it. The line "I changed my mind, won't look no further, just takes some time to come back down to earth" indicates a shift in perspective and a decision to no longer search for something outside of oneself. This implies a desire to ground oneself, to find stability and contentment by embracing the present moment.
The repeated phrase "I wanna change, I wanna change" expresses the singer's determination for personal transformation. However, the following lines "(I won't, I won't)" could indicate inner resistance or fear of fully committing to the change. This internal conflict suggests a struggle between the desire for growth and the comfort of familiarity.

Used to be the one to cry
And feel the motions
Painted a path to find
