Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold
Oh, no, buddy, don't you cry as they go
Life changes all of us,
It's not your fault no, no, no
(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever
(Oh)
Where the sky is blue forever
Life is deepest business you know
Who's gonna care for your bleeding soul?
Take a run, take a run with me
Where the sky is blue forever
Till the end of time
Hum dear buddy, don't you cry when she goes
'Cause life is cynical despite your heart of gold
Oh, no, buddy, don't you cry as they go
Life makes us critical and all we gotta change about
(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever
(Oh)
Where the sky is blue forever
Life is deepest business you know
Who's gonna care for you're bleeding soul?
Take a run, take a run with me
Where the sky is blue forever
Run where
Run where
Run where
Run where
Run where
Run where (Where the sky is blue forever)
(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever
(Oh) Where did they all run to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever
Till the end of time

In the song "XXX 88" by MØ featuring Diplo, the lyrics touch upon themes of loss, nostalgia, and the passage of time. The opening lines show the singer observing someone leaving - "I feel the water flow as I watch him go" - and acknowledging the harshness of life despite her optimistic nature - "Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold." Later in the song, the lyrics again mention someone leaving - "Hum dear buddy, don't you cry when she goes" - highlighting the inevitability of change and the sadness it can bring.
The chorus, with its repeated questioning of "Where did they all run to?" and yearning for a place "Where the sky is blue forever," seems to express a sense of longing for a time or place in the past that is no longer accessible. The repeated phrase "Life is deepest business you know" suggests a recognition of the complexity of life and the need to navigate its challenges with care. Overall, the song can be interpreted as a meditation on the transience of life and the struggle to find a sense of peace or stability in an ever-changing world.

I feel the water flow as I watch him go
I am feeling the sensation of the water flowing as he leaves
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold
Life can be pessimistic despite my benevolent intentions
Oh, no, buddy, don't you cry as they go
Don't shed tears as they leave
Life changes all of us, It's not your fault no, no, no
Life transforms everyone, it's not your doing
(Oh) Where did they all run to?
Where did they flee to?
(Oh) Where the sky is blue forever
Where the heavens are blue indefinitely
Life is deepest business you know
Life is complex and serious
Who's gonna care for your bleeding soul?
Who will attend to your aching spirit?
Take a run, take a run with me
Come with me, let's run away
Where the sky is blue forever
To where the blue sky extends endlessly
Till the end of time
Until the conclusion of existence
Hum dear buddy, don't you cry when she goes
Please don't cry when she departs
'Cause life is cynical despite your heart of gold
Life can be pessimistic regardless of your benevolent intentions
Life makes us critical and all we gotta change about
Life causes us to be judgmental and we need to improve
Run where
Where shall we go?

Something about this woman is captivating. I am not sure if it is her beautiful voice, awkward dancing, lack of make-up, or the complete lack of fucks she appears to give. I'm gonna go with yes.
@jozefchmelar2769
