Island In the Sun
KITCHEN - Weezer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
Hip, hip
(We'll never feel bad anymore)
Hip, hip
(No) hip, (no), hip
(We'll never feel bad anymore)
Hip, hip
(No) hip, (no), hip
(No) hip, (no), hip

Expressing excitement or enthusiasm
When you're on a holiday
When you're on a vacation
You can't find the words to say
You struggle to express yourself
All the things that come to you
All the thoughts or feelings that arise
And I wanna feel it too
And I also want to experience it
When you're on a golden sea
When you're in a perfect, idyllic situation
You don't need no memory
You don't need any past experiences or worries
Just a place to call your own
Just a personal space for yourself
As we drift into the zone
As we enter a state of relaxation or freedom
We'll run away together
We'll escape from our current lives
We'll spend some time forever
We'll cherish each other's company for eternity
We'll never feel bad anymore
We'll never experience negativity again
On an island in the sun
In a peaceful and joyful place
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
We'll engage in activities and enjoy ourselves
And it makes me feel so fine
And it brings me immense happiness
I can't control my brain
I can't contain my emotions and thoughts
(No) hip, (no), hip
No excitement or enthusiasm

i know theres a lot of ancient comments here shitting on the way rivers sings here and the drum loop etc but this feels like one of the most raw things we get out of the green era. hearing a song that in its final cut is so edited and refined just recorded as one man tape recording garbage is pretty endearing, and makes it feel like a more personal song. that's just my 2 cents
@superedd93
This would have been a fantastic version of the song if it wasn't unfortunately recorded in Rivers' Oasis phase. Still love the instruments though, especially the synth on the bridge.

IITS was written with the Summer Songs 2000. I think that's why it has much more personality than most of the rest of Green. With SS2K Rivers was trying to craft perfect pop/rock, with Green Rivers was trying to communicate musically without using emotion. That's why I think the tracks on Green that were written during the Summer of 2000 (Always, Brightening Day, Hash Pipe) have way more personality than the mechanical blandness Coulms was going for at the time of Green.

If this really was written back with blue, it would fit so well thematically with Surf Wax America...

Caleigh C Holiday more so I would say.
