Carry Me
Joywave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight, I think I might explode
Yeah, nothing's right, nothing's right
Comfort me until the sun arrives

Oh, you can't go ratting me out this time
You can't go ratting me out this time, no
Can't go ratting me out this time
You can't go ratting me out this time

Carry me
Are you strong enough to make me feel complete
Like there's church in my heart?
Carry me
Are you strong enough to make me numb and free
Like there's nothing to fear in the dark?

I've been filling up the ditch with anything that I can fit
Comfort me and get me through the night

Oh, you can't go ratting me out this time
You can't go ratting me out this time, no
Can't go ratting me out this time
You can't go ratting me out this time

Carry me
Are you strong enough to make me feel complete
Like there's church in my heart
Carry me
Are you strong enough to make me numb and free
Like there's nothing to fear in the dark?

Sometimes it takes ahold
Sometimes it takes a toll on me
Sometimes it takes ahold
Sometimes it takes a hold on me

Carry me
Are you strong enough to make me feel complete
Like there's church in my heart?
Carry me




Are you strong enough to make me numb and free
Like there's nothing to fear in the dark?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joywave's "Carry Me" seem to convey a sense of loneliness and desperation that many people can relate to. The opening lines, "Tonight, I think I might explode / Yeah, nothing's right, nothing's right," suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed and alone. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they are falling apart and need someone to help keep them together.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Carry me" several times, which can be interpreted as a plea for someone to come and rescue the singer from their thoughts and feelings. They are asking if someone is "strong enough to make me feel complete / like there's church in my heart" and "strong enough to make me numb and free / like there's nothing to fear in the dark." These lyrics suggest a sense of dependence on others and a desire for someone else to take the responsibility of making the singer feel okay.


The final lines of the song, "Sometimes it takes ahold / Sometimes it takes a toll on me / Sometimes it takes ahold / Sometimes it takes a hold on me," suggests that the singer is aware that their emotional state can be difficult and unpredictable. The song as a whole could be seen as a raw and vulnerable portrayal of the human experiences of needing help and seeking guidance.

The worst part is that a lot of their fanbase is made of FIFA, Madden, and Fortnite players, aka the worst kind of people.

This song has a perfect build up, mixture of retro, industrial, and a very pleasing harmony for the chorus.. why is this not more popular? :(
