Gloom
Kid Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back to those times and days where we left
My friend, one day it'd be you
'Cause something's not right when my eyes are on fire
We all used to dream but it ain't taking us higher
My baby, I've been thinking of you
And we're floating in colors and heavenly things
We're young, it's our only drug
They put gold in our arms whenever we ask
Give us the fever, the fever we like
You know I've been thinking about gloom
Some days we dance and some days we don't
Some days we're young and some days we're old
Some days we're sad and wanna go home
Some days we live and some days we don't
Some days we dance and some days we don't
Some days we're broken and some days we're whole
Some days we shine and some days we don't
Some days we dance and some days we don't
The song "Gloom" by Kid Wave is a reflective piece that explores the changing nature of life, relationships, and self. The opening lines describe a feeling of being pulled back in time, perhaps to moments when things felt simpler and less complicated. The mention of a friend hints at a shared nostalgia, but it's clear that something isn't right. The singer is struggling with feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, as if their eyes are on fire. The dreams they once had no longer feel like enough to sustain them, and they're left to ponder what comes next.
However, the song doesn't dwell solely on the negative. The chorus turns towards a sense of wonder and transcendence. The singer describes a state of floating in colors and heavenly things, disconnected from mundane reality. In that moment, youth is their only drug, and there's a sense of being able to ask for and receive anything they want. The fever they like is one that burns bright and passionate. The recurring line about thinking about gloom takes on a different meaning here, as if the singer is acknowledging the darker aspects of life while simultaneously striving towards something brighter.
