Random Firl
Late of the Pier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been thinking this whole world seems too hard
And I'd be better off to undo everything
But maybe
It was only the sun behind the clouds
That was making everything seem nasty
Behind the clouds it's lovely
Behind the clouds
The song "Random Firl" by Late of the Pier seems to be about someone feeling overwhelmed and disheartened by the world around them. The lyrics describe how the world seems too difficult to navigate, and how the singer might be better off undoing everything. However, there's a glimmer of hope in the realization that maybe it's just the dark clouds obscuring the sun that are making everything seem unpleasant. The refrain "behind the clouds it's lovely" suggests that even though things might seem bleak on the surface, there's beauty and goodness hidden just out of sight.
The song's title, "Random Firl," is actually a misspelling of "Random Girl." The band accidentally misspelled the title when they were uploading it to their Myspace page, and the error stuck.

Recently
I've been thinking this whole world seems too hard
I have been pondering how tough the world has become.
And I'd be better off to undo everything
I might have a better life if I reverse all of my actions.
But maybe
However, there is the chance that
It was only the sun behind the clouds
The sun's positioning in the sky could be responsible for
That was making everything seem nasty
why everything appeared terrible.
Behind the clouds it's lovely
There's beauty hidden behind the unpleasantness.
Behind the clouds it's lovely
There's beauty hidden behind the unpleasantness.
Behind the clouds
There's a concealed positive aspect.

@johngillespie6751
I love this song. I listened to it after corona shut down the end of my senior year of high school. While I was thinking about the happy ending I would never get, this song fillled me with a bitter sweet sadness. It talks about things are shitty now, but there’s a place behind the clouds where everything is perfect. And in time, the clouds will clear and everything will be ok
@duck-friend
this song is so underrated! kinda been obsessed with it since it was recommended to me through spotify, such a bittersweet sound. it reminds me a lot of 'i don't wanna die" by the unicorns, quite similar sounds I think.
