Polly
Moose Lyrics

"Polly" by Moose is a reflective song about a romantic relationship, in which the singer is struggling to find a way to express their love to their partner. The lyrics are introspective, with the singer revealing their vulnerability, and how much they desire to find a way to express their feelings clearly. The opening lines of the song "Hope to find it soon my love, there has to be a meaning," convey the singer's longing for clarity about the relationship, and how meaningful it is. They want to find the right words to express how important their love is, but they cannot seem to find them.

The second verse suggests that the singer is perhaps struggling with substance abuse or addiction, as they sing "I am drunk, I'm a hero, I am one, I found love." The line "Pushed my eyes inside my head, I needed them this morning," hints at the possibility that the singer was intoxicated at night, which made them not wake up until the afternoon. The singer's disorientation is apparent in the line "I smelt the afternoon instead, by sundown it was falling," suggesting that they are having trouble keeping track of time. The last lines of the song "It's my song, I'm singing it wrong, it's our song, I'm singing it wrong" seem to indicate that the singer knows that what they are trying to communicate is important to both them and their partner, but they are still unable to express it correctly.
