Thanks. Thanks for Coming
Joywave Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could get used to these
Endless possibilities
Adrenaline for dinner means
A headache that the morning brings

'Cause I've found a place that only I know
I've found the safest space is a warm glow
I've found a place that only I know

I've found the safest space is a warm glow

I could get used to this, I could get used to this, this
I could get used to this, I could get used to this, to this

Overall Meaning

In Joywave's song "Thanks. Thanks for Coming," the lyrics explore the idea of finding a special place where the singer feels safe and content. The opening lines, "I could get used to these endless possibilities," convey a sense of excitement and freedom, suggesting that the singer has discovered a new and thrilling experience. However, this exhilaration comes at a cost, as indicated by the line "Adrenaline for dinner means a headache that the morning brings." This juxtaposition highlights the transient nature of this newfound place, where the thrill is temporary and may have consequences.

The chorus, "I've found a place that only I know, I've found the safest space is a warm glow," emphasizes the personal and intimate nature of this place. It suggests that the singer has discovered a personal sanctuary or escape, where they can feel secure and comfortable. The repetition of the phrase "I could get used to this" reinforces the desire to prolong this feeling of safety and contentment.

Overall, "Thanks. Thanks for Coming" explores the duality of finding a place of excitement and security, while acknowledging the potential downsides and transience of such an experience. It's a reflection on the fleeting nature of happiness and the desire to hold onto and savor those moments of joy.
