Spread Too Thin
Joomanji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because your walls are drawn out too thinly
I don't want to see your love cavin' in
Because your walls are drawn out too thinly
Thinly
Ooh, Ooh
Summer day, don't call me up
With your hairy hand
I don't want to see your love cavin' in
Because your walls are drawn out too thinly
I don't want to see your love cavin'
Because your walls are drawn out too thinly
Thinly
Oooh, Oooh
I don't want to see love cavin'
Because your walls are drawn out too thinly
Thinly
I don't want to see your love cavin'
Because your walls are drawn out too thinly
Oooh, Oooh
Mhmm, Mhmm
Summer day, don't call me up
Hmmm, Hmmm
Oooh, Oooh
Ooh, Ooh
The lyrics in Joomanji's "Spread Too Thin" explore themes of emotional vulnerability and the idea of being spread too thin in a relationship. The first verse particularly suggests that love is at risk of "caving in" because someone's "walls are drawn out too thinly." This could be interpreted as the person not having strong enough emotional boundaries or defenses, or perhaps being emotionally drained or overextended, leaving them vulnerable to the potential collapse of their relationship.
Additionally, the repetition of the phrase "I don't want to see your love cavin' in" emphasizes the singer's concern for their partner and their desire to prevent any pain or heartbreak. The line "Summer day, don't call me up" may signify the singer's need for distance or space, perhaps to avoid further emotional exhaustion or a potential collapse of the relationship.
As a whole, the lyrics suggest a complex and potentially fragile emotional dynamic between two people, where one partner's vulnerability and potential emotional exhaustion puts the relationship at risk. The repetition of the phrase "thinly" emphasizes the fragility and delicacy of the situation.
