Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's dancing in your path
So you're acting like you need me now, hey
So tell me if I'm mad
There's something in your laugh
That makes me fear the way you smile, hey
It's hard to believe sometimes
And I can repeat those times
We can pretend we're boring people
And it's hard to believe sometimes
We can pretend we're normal people
And I can repeat those times
And I can repeat those times, yeah
New planet, yeah, we planted
Everything we wanted
Your fragrance, covalence
I'm bound to, I'm bound to you
The longer that we hide
Everything starts to hit me harder, hit me harder
But we're safe on the inside
Yeah, I know we're fine
The devil came back
He's dancing in your path
So you're acting like you need me now, hey
So tell me if I'm mad
There's something in your laugh
That makes me fear the way you smile, hey
It's hard to believe sometimes
We can pretend we're normal people
And I can repeat those times
We can pretend we're boring people
And it's hard to believe sometimes
We can pretend we're normal people
And I can repeat those times (those times)
And I can repeat those times, yeah (those times)
The lyrics to Joji's song Normal People paint a picture of a couple trying to maintain a facade of normalcy in their relationship. The devil is a metaphor for their inner demons and struggles, which are represented by their fears and concerns about each other. They are pretending to be "normal people," but underneath the surface, there are issues they are dealing with. There is something about the way the other person laughs that makes them feel uneasy, but they try to push it aside and focus on the good times. They are trying to hold on to the moments where they can pretend to be "boring people," even though it may be difficult at times.
The second verse of the song brings in the theme of escape. The couple has created their own world, their own "new planet," where they can plant and grow everything they want. They are bound to each other through their shared experiences and covalent bond. However, the longer they suppress their fears and struggles, the harder they hit them. They might feel safe on the inside, but eventually, these issues will catch up to them.
Overall, the lyrics to Normal People explore the idea of how we try to maintain normalcy in our relationships, even when there are cracks in the surface. It speaks to the universal experience of trying to hold on to the good times and ignore the problems within a relationship.

LETRA
[Pré-refrão: Joji]
O diabo voltou
Ele está dançando em seu caminho
Então você está agindo como se precisasse de mim agora, hey
Então me diga se eu estou bravo
Tem algo na sua risada
Isso me faz ter medo do jeito que você sorri, hey
[Refrão: Joji]
É difícil acreditar às vezes
Podemos fingir que somos pessoas normais
E eu posso repetir esses tempos
Podemos fingir que somos pessoas chatas
E é difícil acreditar às vezes
Podemos fingir que somos pessoas normais
E eu posso repetir esses tempos
E eu posso repetir esses tempos, sim
[Verso: rei marrom]
Novo planeta, sim, nós plantamos
Tudo o que queríamos
Sua fragrância, covalência
Estou obrigado, estou obrigado a você
Mas quanto mais nos escondermos
Tudo começa a me bater mais forte, a me bater mais forte
Mas estamos seguros por dentro
Sim, eu sei que estamos bem
[Pré-refrão: Joji]
O diabo voltou
Ele está dançando em seu caminho
Então você está agindo como se precisasse de mim agora, hey
Então me diga se eu estou bravo
Tem algo na sua risada
Isso me faz ter medo do jeito que você sorri, hey
[Refrão: Joji]
É difícil acreditar às vezes
Podemos fingir que somos pessoas normais
E eu posso repetir esses tempos
Podemos fingir que somos pessoas chatas
E é difícil acreditar às vezes
Podemos fingir que somos pessoas normais
E eu posso repetir esses tempos (aqueles tempos)
E eu posso repetir esses tempos, sim (aqueles tempos)
