Fujiyama
Naomi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you found a stray cat
Do you want to make it purr?
You'll work it out
You prefer the drama to the Fujiyama's blur
Well that's obvious

Will they ever come back
What a scumbag
What a sham, man, what for?
That sad circus clown
Just another bill on the window sill
Through the window, out through the door

Man, she never came, man, she never came...
And I can't explain
Why she never came, why she never came...

Everybody please say
It's so easy, what a nice fur
It's just natural
Such a nervous wreck, stab me in the back
Poke me in the eye for eye
You want some more with that?

Just another dream world
We're a team girl, we'll escape her
If it takes a hundred years
Guess I'm wrong, it's another song
It's another life out the door
You all with me here?

Man, she never came, man, she never came...
And I can't explain
Why she never came, why she never came...

Now you got a safe bet
Do you wanna wave that white flag
Smells like terpentine
Not even the name
As she never came
As she never came
As she never came

Man, she never came, man, she never came...




And I can't explain
Why she never came, why she never came...

Overall Meaning

The song "Fujiyama" by Naomi seems to be one that is complex and full of emotions. The opening lines of the song "Have you found a stray cat/Do you want to make it purr?" seem to be referencing someone who is looking for validation and attention, someone who is trying to make sense of their own emotions by projecting them onto something else. The following line "You'll work it out/You prefer the drama to the Fujiyama's blur" suggests that this person is more interested in creating chaos and drama than in finding peace or resolution, and seems to highlight the disconnect between the way they are dealing with their emotions and the way they might be perceived by others.


The next few lines "Will they ever come back/What a scumbag/What a sham, man, what for?" seem to be expressing anger or disappointment towards someone who has betrayed or abandoned the singer. They might be questioning why they put their trust in this person in the first place, and feel as though they have been taken for a fool. The following lines "That sad circus clown/Just another bill on the window sill/Through the window, out through the door" suggest that the singer feels used or discarded by this person, as though they were a disposable object rather than a person with their own feelings and needs.


The repeated lines "Man, she never came, man, she never came.../And I can't explain/Why she never came, why she never came..." seem to be the crux of the song, expressing a sense of loss or confusion that the singer is unable to fully process or articulate. The following lines "Everybody please say/It's so easy, what a nice fur/It's just natural/Such a nervous wreck, stab me in the back/Poke me in the eye for eye/You want some more with that?" seem to suggest that the singer is imploring others to help them make sense of their own emotions, and is struggling to find meaning or purpose in their current situation.


The final lines "Now you got a safe bet/Do you wanna wave that white flag/Smells like terpentine/Not even the name/As she never came/As she never came/As she never came" seem to be about moving on from the past and finding closure. The reference to a "safe bet" suggests that the singer is ready to let go of their old habits and patterns of behavior in order to start anew. The image of "terpentine" suggests a cleansing or purifying process, as though the singer is trying to remove the stains of the past in order to move forward. The repeated refrain of "As she never came" seems to suggest that the singer is finally coming to terms with the fact that some things are simply out of their control, and that they must accept the past in order to move on to the future.
