Something Sweeter
Lume Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sick of love at the door
Showing up
Keeping me awake

Sow it up, pick apart
Think the Gods
Should take me away - hey

We can go one by one
Two by two
I'm coming with you
Saw you with your open eyes
Ocean wide
So bring me with you

Thought I'd dug it up
Shook it off
But it's stuck on my brain

Stepped back, dust it off
Sling slot
Without anywhere to aim

It's smothering you and I
Fight or flight
We'll make it something
Whether we go left or right
You decide
I'm happy running

Mother nature turned sour
Love is raging
She bites down
I'm frozen - you're bitter
We'll climb aboard
Just say the word and yeah we'll be gone
Set sail for something sweeter

I picture us on the boat
It's afloat
And they're looking our way

I'll be right at the back
Wave the flag
Cause it's calling my name

We can go one by one
Two by two
We'll break the habit

We can sail the seven seas
In twos or threes
We'll make it happen

Mother nature turned sour
Love is raging
She bites down
I'm frozen - you're bitter
We'll climb aboard

Just say the word and yeah we'll be gone
Set sail for something sweeter

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lume's song Something Sweeter speaks of a sense of overwhelm, exhaustion, and frustration that comes with loving someone. The singer is tired of love creeping up on her doorstep and causing her to lose sleep. She wishes the Gods would take her away because she's sick of picking apart everything about love and yet, she's unable to shake it off her mind. The singer wants to go wherever her love interest goes because she's seen everything through their eyes and wants to be a part of it. They are ready to make something of their love, even though they are in a difficult spot. The singer is neutral about which direction to take their love, as long as they are together.

The use of metaphors in Something Sweeter is striking. Love is a sour mother nature, biting down and causing frustration, but to the singer, it is still something worth fighting for. They want to "set sail" for something sweeter with their love interest, even though they are unsure of where it may lead them. They believe they can make it happen, sailing away together to avoid whatever is causing the bitterness in their current situation. The lyrics describe the struggle that comes with trying to escape something that has taken over your mind, but the solution is seen as something accessible and appealing - Something Sweeter.

Imagining a better scenario

It's afloat
Successful and moving forward

And they're looking our way
Attracting attention and admiration

I'll be right at the back
Will support from a distance

Wave the flag
Celebrate success or progress

Cause it's calling my name
Feeling drawn to the new possibilities

We'll break the habit
Leave behind old negative patterns

We can sail the seven seas
Explore a range of options

In twos or threes
Together or in small groups

We'll make it happen
Determined to succeed
