Hum Along
Ludo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never see the movie in my head
But you infest my sleep, and your figure creeps
Through my walls and hums above my bed
I know your name, and that you're photogenic and tall
But I've never heard you talk
And there's something about you
That stabs me right through
[Chorus]
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
Every night, but I do (I can't find sleep)
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
And hum along
You'll hum along, you'll hum along, you'll hum along
And I've only seen you once, at your graduation
No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack
And I watched you move and breathe and cry
And it felt so wrong
[Chorus]
Maybe you'd be kidnapped by pirates
And they would take you to their hideout
As pirates often do
But I'd find the secret map
And I would vigilante-bushwhack
Through the jungles of Peru
Just to save you and I'd take you north to Mexico
Where you would tell me your life story on the steps of a Mayan temple
Where we'd camp singing nonsense songs in 12 bars to the jaguars, until you'd sense me
Your eyes convincing, and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light
Dryer sheets and peach shampoo, the smell of palm leaves, I'd sleep against you
Until the natives found us, but they would crown us king and queen
And we could stay there, spend our days there, eating guava by the sea
And I could understand your views and you could fall in love with me
And while the silly human race talks to droids in outer-space
We grow old and laugh about this song
And between the jungle and the stars, you sing nonsense songs in 12 bars to me
And in my sleep I hum along
You'll never hear this song
You'll never see the movie in my head
The lyrics of "Hum Along" by Ludo create a vivid image of a person's infatuation with someone they don't really know. They describe how the person's image and presence haunts the singer even though they haven't really spoken or interacted much in reality. The song goes on to describe the singer's inner struggle with their obsession with the other person, and how it feels wrong but they can't help it. They then describe an elaborate fantasy scenario in which they rescue the person they are infatuated with and go on an adventure with them, ultimately falling in love.
The lyrics paint a picture of a person's inner thoughts and feelings, and how they can sometimes become overwhelming and all-consuming. The song conveys a sense of longing for something that may never happen, and the pain of unrequited love. The vivid imagery and sensory descriptions also add a layer of depth to the lyrics, making the listener feel like they are experiencing the singer's emotions along with them.

It's been like 11 years since I last heard this song, then I remembered it again after having a similar situation where I ran into someone that I was immediately interested in. You imagine all the perfect ways things could go afterwards, another chance meeting where you hit it off and things develop from there, but in reality you know it will never happen. It's a real bummer. Here I am much older than I was when I was in high school and heard this song, but I'm still the same awkward person who can't bring myself to take that extra step to talk to someone that I won't ever have the opportunity to talk to regularly. Someone else characterized this song perfectly, missed opportunities.

This song just popped into my head in 2020 and I was flooded with memories. Driving around town, or out in the country, with the windows down the summer after senior year blasting this album. Ooof...
