Joy
Jolly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun that leads day into the night
Uncovers the stars to make it bright
It happened to you when you went away
See what has become of what's left behind

One of these days I'll sail through the ocean
When I return I'll bring it all back and
Tell the whole world, restore things left broken
I'll hold it down so we could start new

Crossing the straits, nearing the light
For all that you say at least it's right
Apart from the world, her voice in the wind
Not knowing the fate you were bound to find

Settle down, you know you're gonna cry
And set me free




And you still hold the only thing left of me,
Dorothy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jolly's song "Joy" are poetic and emotional, evoking a sense of loss and hope. The opening lines talk about how the sun brings brightness and light to the world, exposing the beauty of the stars at night. However, when the subject of the song went away, there was a notable change in the environment around them. They are now reflecting on what has become of what is left behind - suggesting that perhaps they are mourning a loss, or feeling a sense of yearning for something.


The following lines describe a desire to explore new horizons, to travel across oceans and return with new experiences and knowledge. There is a sense of determination to make things right, to restore what has been broken in the world. The singer talks about holding it down, implying that they are willing to take on the challenges that come with change.


The last verse is perhaps the most poignant, with the singer telling the subject of the song to settle down and prepare to cry. They are releasing the subject from whatever bond is holding them back, perhaps suggesting that this person needs to let go of something or someone in order to move forward. The final line, "And you still hold the only thing left of me, Dorothy", adds a personal touch to the song, and suggests that the singer is addressing someone specific - someone who still holds a piece of them, even when they are gone.


Overall, "Joy" is a beautifully written song that conveys a sense of longing, loss, and hope. Its poetic lyrics and haunting melody make it a powerful piece of music that resonates with listeners on an emotional level.
