Hovering Machine
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I want to show you what’s in the attic
of our relationship
Time has made the pictures turn in yellow
And I want you to know
I want you to know where I’ve been
I want you to know what I’ve seen
While my hovering machine
was flying me down
I wonder if you ever know
Back to the times when we used to try
It turns it all to this
Back on the pillow when we used to lie
You want to know
You want to know where I’ve been
You want to know what I’ve seen
While my hovering machine
was flying me down
I wonder if you ever know

Overall Meaning

The song "Hovering Machine" by Jil Is Lucky explores the desire for openness and transparency within a relationship. The singer wants to reveal the hidden parts of their relationship, represented by the attic where old memories are kept. The passage of time has caused these memories to fade, much like a picture turning yellow, and the singer wants to bring them to the surface.


The imagery of a hovering machine suggests a desire for escape or distance from the current situation. It's as if the singer is using the machine as a way to physically remove themselves from the past and explore new experiences. However, they also wonder if their partner will ever understand the things they have seen or experienced.


The chorus repeats the desire for understanding and connection, specifically around the memories of when the relationship was new and exciting. The line "it turned it all to this" suggests that something has changed, and the relationship has lost some of its spark. Overall, the song explores the need for communication and vulnerability in relationships, as well as the difficulty of truly understanding another person's experiences and perspectives.
