I'm Discovered
Kim Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little window that I can climb up to
A telescope to see the stars
Am I drunk, yeah
Am I drunk?
You can warn me not to look
But then I'd miss all of this
In the sun, yeah
In the sun
You can hardly imagine
So amazing
So amazing
So amazing my heart gasps, and I'm discovered
Couldn't wait
And I jumped the fence
Scraped my knee
And ripped my dress
A trail of blood, my innocence
You little sneak, yeah
You little sneak
What pleasure do you seek?
So amazing
So amazing
So amazing my heart gasps
And I'm discovered
My heart laughs when I'm discovered
In the lyrics to Kim Fox's song "I'm Discovered," the singer expresses a sense of curiosity and wonderment, as well as a feeling of being caught or exposed. The opening lines set a playful tone, suggesting a desire to peek or peer into something that may not be meant for them to see. They compare this desire to a child who wants to climb up to a little window or use a telescope to see the stars. The singer acknowledges that they may be behaving foolishly or recklessly, admitting, "Am I drunk, yeah / Am I drunk?" Despite being warned not to look, the singer does not want to miss out on the experience of seeing the "valleys and the peaks" and feeling the rose on their cheeks in the sun. The imagery of nature and physical sensation suggests a deep appreciation and reverence for life's small pleasures.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's sense of awe and wonderment, as they repeat the phrase "so amazing" several times. This sense of amazement is also expressed in the line, "So amazing my heart gasps," which conveys a sense of being overcome with emotion. However, the final lines of the chorus suggest that this sense of wonderment is also tinged with a certain amount of fear or uncertainty. The idea of being "discovered" implies a sense of vulnerability or exposure, as if the singer has been caught doing something they shouldn't. This theme is continued in the second verse, where the singer describes jumping over a fence and getting hurt in the process. The image of a trail of blood and ripped clothing suggests a loss of innocence or purity, as well as a sense of danger or risk-taking. The repetition of the phrase "you little sneak" suggests that the singer is addressing someone who may have encouraged them to take risks or engage in reckless behavior.
