Evaporation
Josin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i cry over my loss
cause it´s been all winter´s fault

and i count on to 3 or 2 or 4
but ain´t no fake picture i´m looking at

maybe all is made to evaporate
how do you feel, love, when this life´s too short?
how do you live, love, with these lives too short?

we´re just stupid fools
who want it all back

maybe all is made to evaporate

how do you feel, love, when this life´s too short?
how do we love, love, when this life´s too short?

ain´t no fake picture we´re looking at




ain´t no fake picture we´re looking at
ain´t no fake picture we´re looking at

Overall Meaning

In Josin's song "Evaporation," the lyrics speak to the pain and sorrow of loss. The opening line "I cry over my loss" is a poignant expression of deep sadness. The next line "cause it's been all winter's fault" suggests that perhaps the loss occurred during a dark and difficult time, a season of struggle that exacerbated the pain of letting go. The phrase "And I count on to 3 or 2 or 4" could mean counting down the seconds, minutes, hours, or days until some kind of relief or resolution comes, but the next line "but ain't no fake picture I'm looking at" suggests that there is no easy way out, no simple solution to what is being faced.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Maybe all is made to evaporate" which speaks to the transience and impermanence of life. The idea that everything we hold dear will eventually disappear is a sobering thought, but it is also a reminder to seize the moment and cherish what we have while we have it. The final lines of the chorus "how do you feel, love, when this life's too short? How do you live, love, with these lives too short?" pose the grand existential question of how to find meaning and purpose in a brief and unpredictable existence. The final stanza "we're just stupid fools who want it all back" acknowledges the futility and absurdity of trying to hold onto what has already passed, and the final repetition of "ain't no fake picture we're looking at" underscores the harsh reality of the situation.
