Cool
Miynt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Television killin'
The constant watching of television is mentally draining
Living in a square
Living within the confines of society's expectations
If desert is a feeling
If emptiness is an emotion
Call me Sandy Hair
Then you can call me Sandy Hair
Can someone give me all that I want
Is there anyone who can fulfill my desires?
Sunshine's killing me
The heat of the sun is overwhelming me
It looks so sweet
Although it appears inviting
Why can't it be cool
Why can't it be more relaxed and comfortable?
I can't stand the heat
The temperature is unbearable for me
If life's a beach
If life is supposed to be easy
I wanna be cool
I want to be chill and comfortable in my surroundings
Everything that I own is for loan
None of the material things I possess belong to me
I'll sell you my house, but you can't have my phone
I am willing to part with my possessions, but not the only means of communication I have left
Actually, it's hard to sleep
In reality, it is difficult for me to get restful sleep
Summer's end
The season of summer is coming to a close
An instant need
I have a sudden urge
Neon lights surrounding me
The bright colors of the cityscape are all around me
All alone, apparently
Despite the crowd and lights, I feel alone
We are hot
We are uncomfortable due to the temperature
Desert lingo
We are in a barren land where heat is omnipresent
We are lost
We are unsure of our location and purpose
Sun goes down
As the day comes to an end
All this time
Throughout all of these experiences
My whole life vacation
My entire existence feels like a leisurely holiday
Got no obligations
I have no responsibilities or duties to fulfill
What?
An expression of confusion or disbelief
I wanna be
I desire to become
I wanna be
I aspire to be
I wanna be
I long to be
I wanna be
I hope to be
