Fans have speculated¹ that it has something to do with “Yêu” (literally pronounced as ew) – meaning “Love” or “To love” in Vietnamese.
Whether it is the case or not, it is interesting to note that this word both expresses potential disgust towards love and hints at the album’s name, implying that the Nectar has a bitter taste.
Ew
Joji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What does love mean when the end is rolling in?
Oh, let it go, let it stay, give me love when I'm not there
Cold, is it safe to be warm in the summer?
Who knows? (Who knows?)
I said who knows?
Ooh
I can't believe that I'm not enough
Not enough
And so long
No one will be here to save you
And no one will be here to let you know
Let you know
This is your world
(This is your world)
This is your world
(This is your world)
Quietly still, in a lie
Oh, goodnight
I don't mind
Ooh
Teach me to love just to let me go
I can't believe that I'm not enough
Not enough
And so long
No one will be here to save you
And no one will be here to let you know (let you know)
In Joji's song "Ew," the lyrics "When it's lovely, I believe in anything, What does love mean when the end is rolling in?" express the confusion and doubt that comes with the end of a relationship. When things are going well and love is present, it's easy to believe in anything, including a perpetually happy relationship. However, when the end of the relationship is looming, the meaning of love becomes unclear.
The stanza "Teach me to love just to let me go, I can't believe that I'm not enough" reveals the sense of inadequacy that a person can feel when their partner decides to leave. It is as if the person has been taught to love, only to be abandoned. The feeling of not being enough comes from the idea that if they were enough, their partner would stay.
The chorus "No one will be here to save you, And no one will be here to let you know" communicates the fear of being alone and the uncertainty that comes with it. It is as if the person is warning themselves that they will have to face the reality of being on their own without any help or guidance.
Overall, "Ew" is a melancholy reflection on the end of a relationship and the emotional turmoil that comes with it.
