Pom Pom
Kelsey Ellison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro:]
Arigatou gozaimasu
Ima, London ni ikimashou

[Verse:]
Welcome to my life, it's like disney gone wrong
Like wanderin' through Bagdad calling out a bird song
I think I'm going crazy
Think hello I'm loony toons
I hear the sound of the death machine
But I'm stuck to the floor like glue

[Chorus Intro]
Never gonna get with me tonight
Never gonna get
Never gonna get
Never gonna get inside my mind
Never gonna get
Never gonna get (ah ah)

[Chorus:]
So I wanna see you shake that pom pom pom
If you get where this is coming from
So I wanna see you shake that pom pom pom
If you get where this is coming from
Yeah I wanna see you shake your pom pom pom
When you're not home and the light is on
Yeah I wanna see you shake that pom pom pom
Shake that pom pom pom

[Verse 2:]
Look inside my head, you see Bambi runnning free
Like choo choo trains across the brain, letting of all the steam
But sometimes it's too much
It's like hey car wheres my dude
Wanna take a bite just like Snow White
Wake up (? In a sick as lude?)

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Feel like I can jump right off the pier
Yes I got the call, but the martians here
First it was all about bungee jumping
In chick for the strings and I'm feeling nothing

Wished I could fly like a smashed in pumpkin
Midnight came and I'm no longer her
Looking for the bird like my names Slyvester
But you're looking like a frog so I might forget yah





[Chorus:]

Overall Meaning

The song "Pom Pom" by Kelsey Ellison is an energetic and upbeat track that talks about the chaos in the artist's life. The intro, which is in Japanese, translates to "Thank you, let's go to London now." The artist compares her life to "Disney gone wrong," a place where everything is not as it seems. She feels like she's going crazy and compares herself to Loony Toons. Despite feeling this way, she cannot escape the chaos around her and feels stuck.


The chorus of the song talks about wanting to see someone shake their pom poms, which can be interpreted as the artist wanting to see people enjoy themselves amidst the chaos of life. The second verse delves deeper into the artist's mind where she talks about seeing Bambi running free and choo-choo trains across her brain. It's too much for her to handle, and she wishes she could take a bite like Snow White did. The bridge talks about feeling like she can jump off a pier, and someone or something has come from Mars. She then talks about wanting to forget someone who looks like a frog.

Arigatou gozaimasu
Thank you very much


Ima, London ni ikimashou
Now, let's go to London


Welcome to my life, it's like disney gone wrong
My life is like a disfigured version of Disney


Like wanderin' through Bagdad calling out a bird song
It's like aimlessly wandering through a chaotic city, singing to no one in particular


I think I'm going crazy
I believe my mental health is declining


Think hello I'm loony toons
I might as well be a cartoon character


I hear the sound of the death machine
I'm aware of my mortality


But I'm stuck to the floor like glue
Despite my fears, I feel immobilized


Never gonna get with me tonight
You're not going to be intimate with me tonight


Never gonna get inside my mind
You can't access my thoughts or emotions


So I wanna see you shake that pom pom pom
I want to see you dance enthusiastically


If you get where this is coming from
If you understand the context of this situation


When you're not home and the light is on
When you're not around, but it looks like you are


Look inside my head, you see Bambi runnning free
If you could see my thoughts, it would be like Bambi frolicking


Like choo choo trains across the brain, letting of all the steam
Thoughts careening through my mind, trying to release built-up pressure


But sometimes it's too much
Sometimes it becomes overwhelming


It's like hey car wheres my dude
I feel like I've lost someone important to me


Wanna take a bite just like Snow White
I want to indulge myself, just like Snow White did with the apple


Wake up (? In a sick as lude?)
Wake up to some unpleasant truth or realization


Feel like I can jump right off the pier
I feel like I can take on anything


Yes I got the call, but the martians here
I have received a message, but it's nonsense


First it was all about bungee jumping
I used to be obsessed with bungee jumping


In chick for the strings and I'm feeling nothing
I'm not getting any enjoyment out of it anymore


Wished I could fly like a smashed in pumpkin
I wish I could soar like I used to


Midnight came and I'm no longer her
I've changed since midnight


Looking for the bird like my names Slyvester
Searching for something intangible, like Sylvestor the cat always did in the Looney Tunes cartoons


But you're looking like a frog so I might forget yah
But you don't look like what I'm searching for, so I might ignore you

L.A. Zen

Not to "bum you out" ... teehee. "bum" ... since my wife passed away (this past August 16), we/I hadn't really gotten back into working on preparations for the re-launch of our L.A. Zen projects in 2016. BUT(T) when we/I stumbled upon your groovy dance routines here, it excited us/me with a refreshed outlook on the type of entertainment we/I would like to showcase in the future. Your intelligence, passion for what you obviously thoroughly enjoy, and the resulting precision performances that super duper entertain our/my sensorium(s) makes us/me so utterly grateful for your spirited goals of becoming such a FUNtastical performance artist.

You're a killer thriller, sis! And we hope to network you into our international 2016 cavalcade of scrumptious mind candy as well as more direct collaborations. Keep on rockin'! <3 <3

:D Kiki (RIP) & Kirk :D

P.S. Just know that critics and thumbdownersof your works are just big talentless babies (DISCLAIMER: No offense meant towards actual babies.) with soiled diapers that no one cares to change for them. They're very unhappy (crappy) little turdlettes that have no tact nor the ability to just kiss off (AKA 'P off') without causing discomfort or discontent wherever they happen to stop to generally annoy others.

Never worry about what the "critics" have to say, sis. Only focus on your goals and dreams and the people who appreciate you and what you do for them. You're a powerhouse of entertainment compared to no other. So you get into your zone, crystalise your concentration, and those who appreciate you will lift you up to where we'd all like to see you: front and center stage.

:P !CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :P
