Cool
Miynt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Television killin'
Living in a square
If desert is a feeling
Call me Sandy Hair

Can someone give me all that I want
All that I want
Can someone give me all that I want
All that I want

Sunshine's killing me
It looks so sweet
Why can't it be cool
I can't stand the heat
If life's a beach
I wanna be cool
Everything that I own is for loan
Why can't it be cool
I'll sell you my house, but you can't have my phone

Actually, it's hard to sleep
Summer's end
An instant need
Neon lights surrounding me
All alone, apparently

We are hot
Desert lingo
We are lost
Sun goes down

All this time
All this time
All this time

Sunshine's killing me
It looks so sweet
Why can't it be cool
I can't stand the heat
If life's a beach
I wanna be cool
Everything that I own is for loan
Why can it be cool
I'll sell you my house, but you can't have my phone

My whole life vacation
Got no obligations
My whole life vacation
Got no obligations

What?

Sunshine's killing me
It looks so sweet
Why can't it be cool
I can't stand the heat
If life's a beach
I wanna be cool
Everything that I own is for loan
Why can it be cool
I'll sell you my house, but you can't have my phone

I wanna be
I wanna be




I wanna be
I wanna be

Overall Meaning

Miynt's song "Cool" is an interesting commentary on the state of modern life as experienced through the lens of popular media. The opening line, "Television killin', living in a square" suggests a feeling of entrapment caused by the constant stream of images and content that we are exposed to through our screens. This is reinforced by the contrast between the desire for coolness and the reality of our everyday experiences. The line "Sunshine's killing me, it looks so sweet, why can't it be cool, I can't stand the heat" signifies an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction with the way that things are. It seems as though the reality of life is too much to bear, and that the only solution is to seek refuge in a cooler, more idealistic version of the world.
