Happenstance
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to use pseudonyms
You say the way and I'll follow
I won't try to escape
And I don't know why on earth I'm calling,
Calling at this time of night
You've got me hoping for some happenstance baby
I don't know who you are
All is know is you fold me in half
I want to slope of your sorrow
I love the curve of your neck
I want the fuse to your morals
I want the keys to your chest
I don't know who your are
All is know is you I'm caught up on you
The lyrics to Miles Kane's Happenstance suggest a strong sense of desire and longing for someone he seems to have just met. The opening lyric, "I want to climb on your shadow" is poetic and could symbolize a desire to be closer to this person, even if it means being in their shadow. He also expresses a desire to use "pseudonyms," or false names, perhaps suggesting a sense of excitement or thrill in getting to know someone new. The line "You say the way and I'll follow, I won't try to escape" highlights his willingness to surrender control and let this person take the lead.
However, there's a sense of confusion or uncertainty in his emotions, expressed in the lines "And I don't know why on earth I'm calling, calling at this time of night / You've got me hoping for some happenstance baby, you've got me uptight." He's unsure why he's reaching out to this person so late at night and seems slightly nervous about the idea of something happening between them. The chorus repeats the sentiment of hoping for "happenstance," or a chance encounter that will bring them together.
Overall, the lyrics of Happenstance convey a mix of desire and uncertainty. There's a sense of heightened anticipation and excitement in getting to know someone new, but also some hesitancy and nervousness about what might happen next.
