White
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could this be Earth? Could this be light?
Does this mean everything, is going to be alright?
When I look out my window there's trees talking like people
I've dreamt of storms, I've dreamt of sound
I've dreamt of gravity, keeping us around
I've slept in the darkness, it was lonely, and there was silence
What is this love? I don't feel the same
Don't believe what this is, could be given a name
I woke, you were there, tracing planets on my forehead
But I forget 23 like I forget 17
And I forget my first love, like you forget a daydream




And what if all my wild friends, and the times I've had with them
Will all fade to grey soon, on the TV station

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "White" by Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All can be interpreted as an existential questioning of reality and whether or not everything is going to be okay. The reference to Earth and light raises the question of our existence and whether or not there is a higher power or purpose to it all. The following lines contain dream-like imagery of trees talking like people, storms, sound, and gravity, alluding to a sense of confusion and uncertainty about the world around us. The singer also recounts being in darkness and loneliness, further emphasizing a sense of disconnect from the world.


The next two lines, "What is this love? I don't feel the same / Don't believe what this is, could be given a name," can be interpreted as the singer questioning the concept of love and its validity. The idea that it could be given a name suggests that love is seen as a societal construct rather than a true feeling. The final couplet is a reflection on memory and the inevitable fading of the past. The singer forgets significant ages and their first love, and wonders if their memories of wild times with friends and experiences will end up faded on a TV station soon. This could be seen as a commentary on the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of the passing of time.
