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 "Normal People" by Joji feat. rei brown hint at the emotional turbulence that often results from the complexities of human relationships. The first verse begins with the singer telling us that the devil has returned and is interfering with their life. The devil, in this context, could be a metaphorical interpretation of the negative thoughts or emotions that threaten to derail the relationship. The singer then questions if they are insane for wanting this relationship to work despite warning signs that are looming large.
The second verse paints a picture of a stable, happy relationship that is based on mutual attraction and respect. However, there is a nagging sense of unease which causes the singer to wonder if the good times will last. They emphasize on the need to acknowledge their mundane existence, which can cause the relationship to fall apart like many others. Yet, despite the odds, the singer is determined to hold on to the moments of happiness together.
Overall, the lyrics of the song portray the bittersweet nature of being in a relationship that is meaningful but also flawed. It's almost like straddling between reality and perception, normal people versus boring people, and unsure whether the devil will return.

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
