Find
N.R.Y.Y. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry that we took so long
You probably thought we forgot your song
It makes us smile just so you know
To see your eyes at our shows

I wrote this song while I was drunk
I hope you don't mind that it was wine
But you called me and said you didn't want your friends to know

But what if you had to go
What about then
What about then Mildred
Excuse me I mean music
What about then

[Chorus:]
Sweet chariot of fire
Gon' swing us all the way
Sing us a song today
Awayay, awayay awayay, awayay awayay, awayay awayay

Or maybe I'm in your car just driving away
And everything's o.k.

Float around where there's no need to walk
And there's nothing but thoughts and feeling no talk
Where there's golden bees and silver birds
And dreams are like shootin' come true and heard
And every moment feels like a spin Mildred
I mean, a spin music
So what about then

[Chorus:]

Or maybe I'm in your car just driving away
And everything's o.k.

Where every star flickers bright as sister
Just for the whisper commands your love
The bright sun in the sky all the flowers harmonize
And that's where your starry eyes will stand above

(Mildred x 6)
The fuck I mean Mildred
How the fuck you gonna tell me it's Mildred (I'm sorry) and not music
(Music)
Fuck it

[Chorus:]

Or maybe I'm in your car just driving away
And everything's o.k.

Overall Meaning

The song 'Find' by N.R.Y.Y. is a sentimental piece that conveys a sense of longing and reminiscence. The opening lines apologize for the delay in writing a song for the listener, indicating their importance and how much their presence is appreciated. The lyrics seem to be addressed to a person who has a significant place in the life of the singer. The phrase "It makes us smile just so you know. To see your eyes at our shows" suggests that the person has been going to their shows and is a regular attendee.

The song then expresses the confusion and uncertainty of the relationship between the singer and the person being addressed. The line "But you called me and said you didn't want your friends to know" implies that there is an element of secrecy or shame attached to their connection. However, the singer is not ready to let go and asks, "What about then? What about then, Mildred? Excuse me, I mean music. What about then?" The confusion of addressing the person as 'Mildred' instead of 'Music' shows the internal turmoil and the emotional weight that the relationship holds.

The chorus starts with the line "Sweet chariot of fire. Gon' swing us all the way" which suggests a desire to escape and wander. The chorus neatly encapsulates a dream-like state, a place where "everything's okay". The song then goes on to describe this utopian world vividly. The lyrics create a picture of a place that's peaceful and unburdened with problems, free to float around without needing to walk. An idyllic place where dreams come true and where each moment feels like a spin, with golden bees and silver birds.

Merely for the murmur, which requires your affection

The sun of considerable light, while simultaneously, the blossoms completely align

And that's where your starry eyes will stand above
And that is where one's bright and ethereal gaze shall surpass all

(Mildred x 6)
(Repeated six times) Mildred

The fuck I mean Mildred
What I meant was, what the hell, Mildred?

How the fuck you gonna tell me it's Mildred (I'm sorry) and not music
Why would you explain to me that it is Mildred (I apologize), and not music?

(Music)
(Music)

Or maybe I'm in your car just driving away
It's possible that we are in your vehicle, driving away

And everything's o.k.
And everything is perfectly fine
