Friend
Luke Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something sweet for my eyes
Something sweet for my ears
Don't feel safe inside my head
Just switch off the waterfall

Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)

Don't know where the fuck I am
Walking streets and watching TV
Little family in my head
Tapping gently on my windowscreen

Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)?

Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)
Do you wanna be my friend? (Sha la la la la la)





Sometimes I look at my TV and wonder where all my friends are. And then I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the screen and I think “Hey TV, do you wanna be my friend?”

Overall Meaning

The song "Friend" by Luke Scott; Stephen Jones explores the theme of loneliness and the longing for connection. The opening lines "Something sweet for my eyes, something sweet for my ears" indicate a desire for comfort and pleasure, but the following line "Don't feel safe inside my head, just switch off the waterfall" suggests a sense of overwhelm and anxiety that can only be relieved by seeking companionship. The repetition of the question "Do you wanna be my friend?" in a catchy, almost pleading manner, emphasizes the need for validation and acceptance.


The second verse further illustrates the singer's sense of displacement and disorientation, being lost in a world of meaningless distractions, yet still feeling the presence of a "little family" in their mind. The tapping on the windowscreen could be interpreted as a metaphor for the outside world intruding on the individual's thoughts, or as a hopeful sign of someone trying to reach out to them.


Overall, "Friend" captures the bittersweet feeling of reaching out for connection while simultaneously feeling unsure of one's worthiness of such connection. It's a relatable theme that speaks to the universal human desire for companionship and understanding.
