Cowboy Song
Lume Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wakin' up from someone else's dream
And feelin' somewhere strangely inbetween
In days that make you fall out of the world
And days that stole the life out of that girl

All I want is to feel my feet on the ground
You plant my feet on the ground
I've fallen out of space and time

Steal away and keep it locked inside
And show me signs of weakness on your mind
Step now, sleep walk fallin' out of time
You find yourself with little rest in sight

Wakin' up from someone else's dream
And feelin' somewhere strangely inbetween




In days that make you fall into the world
And made you understand what shook that girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lume's "Cowboy Song" describe the feeling of disorientation and confusion that can come from living in a world that is constantly changing and unpredictable. The opening lines, "Wakin' up from someone else's dream / And feelin' somewhere strangely in-between" suggest a sense of disconnectedness from reality, as if the singer is not sure if what they are experiencing is real or not. This feeling is further emphasized by the lines "In days that make you fall out of the world / And days that stole the life out of that girl," which suggest that the singer is struggling to find their place in a world that can often be overwhelming.


Despite this sense of disorientation, however, the singer remains focused on finding a way to stay grounded and connected to the world around them. This desire is expressed in the lines "All I want is to feel my feet on the ground / You plant my feet on the ground," which suggest that the singer is seeking guidance and support from someone else in order to maintain their sense of stability. The final lines of the song, "In days that make you fall into the world / And made you understand what shook that girl," suggest that the singer has found a way to make peace with the challenges they are facing, and that they have come to a deeper understanding of the world and their place in it.
