Tangerine
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shows you what you know, ain’t what you feel
Shooting beam, blinding me
The sun is a giant spaceship tangerine
It shoots out rays of hopeful golden morphine
Tangerine
Shooting beam
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tangerine
Shooting beam
As I stand before this holy sphere
It’s singing me a song, I don’t want to hear
Want to hear
Uh huh, yeah, yeah, woah
All I see is warm champagne
Confetti on the floor from last night still laying
The same playlist on my phone still playing
As my eyes strain, jealous of the sun, wishing I could do the same
Man, but how I’m supposed rise though? When shit just hold me down
How I'm supposed to shine man, through all the smoke and clouds?
I’m on a trip, no luggage, no ticket
I’m looking in the mirror and I’m the only thing missing
I been tryna find myself, I feel so long distance
Made a promise to myself, I wouldn't just be a statistic
No, no, I’m the one of the one on one’s
Twenty some but my soul a hundred some
My mind’s racing, it’s racing
And honestly I can’t remember what it’s running from
I just hope that I come in one
Seems like everyone I know is getting married
Everyone else getting buried
Life should come with a sign saying
“Results may vary”
Straight up
I take my place along the memory
The sun’s so high, it’s rising in the heat
Try to fight the sunrise but it comes for you
Love is brighter than the fiery violent truth
The song Tangerine by Miley Cyrus featuring Big Sean starts off with the lyrics "Sun Gods crest upon his azure shield, shows you what you know, ain't what you feel." These lyrics suggest that what we see and perceive with our eyes may not always align with our true feelings and emotions. The shooting beam that blinds the singer refers to the sun, which is compared to a giant spaceship that shoots out hopeful golden rays of morphine. The term Tangerine is a metaphor for the sun.
The second verse sung by Big Sean, contrasts the singer's admiration for the sun in the first verse. He expresses his struggle to rise above challenging circumstances, feeling held down by life. He claims that he is constantly searching for his true self, and hopes he is able to find himself. The line "twenty some but my soul a hundred some" indicates that even though he is young, his soul has lived many experiences. He acknowledges that sometimes he doesn't remember what he's running from, but he hopes that he comes out on top. Big Sean claims that while everyone around him is getting married, others are dying, and life is unpredictable, "Love is brighter than the fiery violent truth." This final sentence suggests that love is the one thing that perseveres through all challenging, fiery circumstances.
