Joydrop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a flower tastes like a sea shell
Lean towards fade into black
Scratch my name into your back
I'm not frightened
This is just how I thought it would be
Move me close I want to be wanted
Grey green eyes, it's just like a sunrise
I'm not frightened
This is just how I thought it would be
All my life all in one day
So much time and I still can't forget
So much time and I just can't remember
I want more 'cause it's not over yet
I'm not frightened
This is just how I thought it would be
All my life all in one day (x4)
You're a strange one.
Morning light falls I go so far
Golden light falls I go so far away
And I always wanted to
And I do
I do
The lyrics to Joydrop's song "Metasexual" explore themes of desire, excitement, and fear of the unknown. The song's protagonist, Mandra, has done something to the singer that has left them feeling transformed and enraptured. The opening lines "Oh Mandra what have you done to me/Like a flower tastes like a sea shell" evoke the sense of the unfamiliar, the way someone experiences something completely new and unexpected.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals their willingness to take risks and surrender themselves to their desires. They describe wanting to be wanted and lost, expressing a fearlessness that suggests they are willing to do whatever it takes to experience something new and exciting. The repetition of the line "I'm not frightened/This is just how I thought it would be" reinforces the idea that the singer is not simply reacting to what's happening to them, but actually pursuing this experience.
The chorus, "All my life all in one day," emphasizes the intensity of the experience and the feeling that this one encounter has the power to change everything. The song ends with a declaration of self-confidence, as the singer affirms that they have always wanted what they are experiencing and that they are embracing it with open arms.
