Normal People
Joji Rei Brown Lyrics
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 of Joji Rei Brown's song "Normal People" talks about the complexities of life and how often people pretend to be normal when they are not. The devil is portrayed as a symbol of temptation and distraction, which causes people to act differently than they would under normal circumstances. The singer mentions that sometimes it is hard to believe that we can pretend to be normal people when we are anything but that. The line "there's something in your laugh, that makes me fear the way you smile" suggests that the singer is aware of a sinister side to the person they are addressing, which makes them fearful.
The song talks about the illusions people create to cope with their problems. "We can pretend we're normal people and I can repeat those times" suggests an attempt to flee from reality and the problems that come with it. The lines "new planet, yeah, we planted, everything we wanted, your fragrance, covalence, I'm bound to, I'm bound to you" seem to be a reference to building a new world or relationship with someone, based on fantasies and an imagined utopia. However, the longer they hide behind this illusion, the harder everything starts to hit them, and they realize that they can never escape from reality.
Overall, the song conveys that sometimes people try to hide behind illusions, fantasies, and obsessions to cope with life, but eventually, the truth catches up with them. It is a poignant piece of music that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the need to pretend to be normal.

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
