Sushi
Kyle Andrews Lyrics

The opening lines of Kyle Andrews's "Sushi" creates a dreamy and surreal atmosphere through his unique use of language. The line "I'm swimming in the ocean of pillowcase blue" suggests that he is lost in a sea of blue dreams or thoughts, and he is diving deep into his mind, into the depths of his emotions. The second line, "And I sink so deep in you, you're gonna save me or not?" illustrates the feeling of vulnerability and dependence on his partner. He is floating alone in a sea of thoughts and emotions, waiting for reassurance from his lover who is the only one who can save him from drowning in his own thoughts.

Throughout the song, Andrews seems to be longing for a deeper connection with his lover. He is seeking these small moments with his partner, moments that feel "so real" to him. In the lines "Could we have a moment? / Could we have a moment?" he yearns for a moment of genuine connection and intimacy. The image of him "picking out a blossom" and "pinning it on the wall" is symbolic of capturing these intimate moments and holding onto them.

As the song progresses, Andrews paints pictures of mundane, everyday activities, such as "giving a haircut", "walking to the sushi bar", and "shopping at the goodwill". These activities seem trivial but they represent his desire to build a deeper connection with his lover. The line "Learning how to swing dance" could also be seen as a metaphor for the desire to learn how to move in sync with one's partner.

Overall, "Sushi" is a beautifully written song that captures the feeling of vulnerability and dependence one can experience in a loving relationship. The dreamy and surreal imagery creates an atmosphere of intimacy and longing, while the lyrics convey the deep desire for a real and meaningful connection with another person.
