Moods
JoJo Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I don't succeed in I won't survive
This day that is grey and cold, not only outside
So I try to lean back and relax
and my fantasy gets awake…
Feelin' the sand soft running through my toes
Tiny drops of the ocean land on my face
The only coldness I feel comes from the drink in my right hand
Can't think of anything that brings me down
If I don't succeed in I won't survive
I just want to stay here till the sun says goodbye
I don't think 'bout the night or take care
what will happen the next day…
Trying just hard to get that feeling back in my mind
If I don't succeed in I won't survive
This day that is grey and cold, not only outside
So I try to lean back and relax
and my fantasy gets awake…
The lyrics to JoJo Effect's song Moods describe the struggle of trying to recapture a feeling or memory. The singer is attempting to escape from a bleak and cold day by fantasizing about being at the beach, feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin and the sand between their toes. This daydream provides a moment of respite and pleasure that helps the singer to survive.
The song's lyrics capture a sense of nostalgia for a time and place that is no longer accessible. The beach represents a kind of utopia or paradise where the singer is free from the worries of everyday life. The repetition of the line "If I don't succeed in I won't survive" adds a sense of urgency and desperation to the lyrics, suggesting that the singer is struggling to hold on to this memory and to find a sense of meaning and purpose in their life.
Overall, the lyrics to Moods evoke a feeling of wistful longing and a desire for escape. They capture the universal human experience of searching for meaning and happiness, and the difficulty of finding it in a world that can be cold and difficult.

Trying just hard to get that feeling back in my mind
Struggling to recapture a euphoric emotional state
If I don't succeed in I won't survive
Feeling like it's a matter of life or death to achieve that feeling again
This day that is grey and cold, not only outside
Feeling internal dreariness on a dismal day
So I try to lean back and relax
Attempting to ease into a comfortable and carefree state of mind
and my fantasy gets awake…
Imagining a place and scenario that would bring that sought after feeling
Feelin' the sand soft running through my toes
The tactile experience of being at the beach
Tiny drops of the ocean land on my face
Feeling the misty spray of waves on a hot day
The sun tickles in my nose and the wind stripes my skin
Feeling tactile sensations while relaxing in the sun and wind
The only coldness I feel comes from the drink in my right hand
Enjoying a refreshing drink on a hot day
Can't think of anything that brings me down
Feeling totally uplifted and carefree
I just want to stay here till the sun says goodbye
Not wanting the experience to end
I don't think 'bout the night or take care
Not dwelling on the future or responsibilities
what will happen the next day…
Not anticipating future events or worrying about them
