Nevada
Lydmor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ten days at the Leopold
Long nights in the biting cold
Desert wind blow furrows in my skin
Sticks to my sleeves and drags my hair

Chasing kicks in the middle class
Pour cans in a crystal glass
Effervescent eye contact with strangers I'm not sure are even there

I'm trying my best here
I'm learning as fast as I can
I'm working and working so hard
We're breaking apart here
Your vanishing into the sand
I just wanna know where you are

I'm still in Nevada
You're still holding on while I'm broken down
I'm feeling nirvana
Can we sober up?
Thought I'd told you all

A lot of let downs
You morning break down

Slow run through a swimming pool
Free spin like a molecule
Finding all these pieces of your past you know it hurts me more than you

I feel like I have to keep saying sorry
My family say they no longer know me

I sure haven't spent my time on anything but this so help me god

I'm trying my best here
I'm learning as fast as I can
I'm working and working so hard
We're breaking apart here
Your vanishing into the sand
I just wanna know where you are

I'm still in Nevada
You're still holding on while I'm broken down
I'm feeling nirvana
Can we sober up?
Thought I'd told you all

Oh I feel alive
On my way out
It's better if you stay out of this
Stop looking at me while I'm broken

I'm still in Nevada
You're still holding on while I'm broken down
I'm feeling nirvana




Can we sober up?
Thought I'd told you all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lydmor's song "Nevada" depict a search for self-discovery and love amidst chaos and uncertainty. The title of the song refers to a state known for its dazzling lights and vast deserts, which represents the duality of the singer's experiences. The opening lines describe the harsh conditions of the desert, where the singer spends ten days at the Leopold. The lingering cold and the biting wind cause physical discomfort, while the desert wind leaves indelible marks on her skin. The experience is so visceral that she can almost feel the desert sand dragging her hair and sticking to her clothes.


The song then moves to the theme of escape, with the singer indulging in a reckless and superficial lifestyle. She meets strangers and engages in casual conversations, often fueled by alcohol, which serve as distractions from her inner turmoil. She is haunted by a sense of loss and uncertainty, both about herself and her relationship with her lover. The chorus is a plea for understanding and connection, where she seeks her lover's reassurance and presence.


Towards the end of the song, the singer undergoes a transformative experience, symbolized by a "slow run through a swimming pool." The imagery invokes a surreal sensation, as the singer breaks free from the constraints of her fears and insecurities. However, the transformation comes at a cost, and she must confront the aftermath of her choices. The closing lines suggest that she is still in Nevada, still searching for answers and healing, while calling for sobriety and honesty.
