Reanimator
Joji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun is not the brightest thing
The choir sings to an empty world of finer things
Even though it burns, you drown and sink
You know I am

Washing over you
Washing over you

It's not up to me
But it's alright if it makes you feel good
You can do this all night, it's not up to me
But it's alright if it makes you feel good
You can do this all night, but it's not up to me
But it's alright if it makes you feel good
You can do this all night, but it's not up to me
But it's alright, does it make you feel good all night?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joji's song Reanimator are mysterious and open to interpretation. It seems to be about someone who is struggling with a sense of emptiness, despite being surrounded by beauty and luxury. The first verse suggests that even though the singer is drawn to these finer things, they ultimately feel overwhelmed and suffocated by them. The second verse hints at the idea that maybe there is something deeper and more meaningful that the person is searching for, but they don't know what it is or how to find it. The repeated refrain, "it's not up to me, but it's alright if it makes you feel good," could be seen as an acknowledgment of the complexity and uncertainty of the situation.


The chorus, "washing over you," seems to suggest that the singer is trying to comfort or soothe the person they are singing to. They are offering a kind of emotional support or release. The idea of "washing" over someone implies a cleansing or purifying effect, as if the singer is helping the person to let go of their worries and doubts. Overall, the lyrics of Reanimator are enigmatic and thought-provoking, leaving the listener with a sense of intrigue and curiosity.


Line by Line Meaning

The sun is not the brightest thing
The sun is not the most important thing in my life


The choir sings to an empty world of finer things
People focus on superficial things instead of what really matters


Even though it burns, you drown and sink
You're in pain and struggling even though you keep going through the motions


You know I am
I'm here for you, you can rely on me


Washing over you
I'm taking care of and protecting you


It's not up to me
I can't control everything


But it's alright if it makes you feel good
If it helps you feel better, it's okay


You can do this all night, it's not up to me
You can keep going, but I can't be responsible for everything


But it's alright if it makes you feel good
If it helps you feel better, it's okay


You can do this all night, but it's not up to me
You can keep going, but it's not my decision to make


But it's alright if it makes you feel good
If it helps you feel better, it's okay


You can do this all night, but it's not up to me
You can keep going, but I can't control what happens


But it's alright, does it make you feel good all night?
If it's helping you cope, then that's all that matters

[Verse: Joji]
The sun is not the brightest thing
The choir sings
To an empty world of finer things
Even though it burns, you drown and sink
You know I am
Washing over you
Washing over you

[Chorus: Yves Tumor]
It's not up to me
But it's alright if it makes you feel good
You can do this all night, it's not up to me
But it's alright if it makes you feel good
You can do this all night, but it's not up to me
But it's alright if it makes you feel good
You can do this all night, but it's not up to me
But it's alright, does it make you feel good all night?
