Ofln - Joji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone

Swinging out front, let me inside
Playing my song into my sides
It hurts, I can't lie, remember those times
I fought to get out? I want to get out
Those pictures so clear, they fade in my mind
You leavin' me here with ashes and fire
These people don't heal, these people don't feel
These people aren't real so make me this deal

Won't you gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone

Look into your heart and let me know
Do things turn black and grey as they go?
When I'm far too gone, can you show me love?
Give me love
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Caught in a river of records and dreams
Oh, will you keep up with me?
Everyone's looking for someone to hold
But I can't let you go
(Ooh)
(Ooh)




(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Overall Meaning

The song "Gimme Love" by Joji is a poignant and emotional track that touches on themes of loneliness, pain, and love. Throughout the song, the singer pleads for love, asking repeatedly for someone to give him love when he's gone. The repeated line "gimme, gimme love" emphasizes the desperation felt by the singer, who is struggling to cope with his emotions.


The second verse explores the singer's memories of a past relationship that ended badly. He remembers the pain of trying to escape the situation and how he was left alone with nothing but memories of the past. The lyrics "these people don't heal, these people don't feel, these people aren't real" suggest a feeling of disillusionment with the world around him, as if he's lost his faith in humanity.


The chorus returns with its plea for love, and the final few lines suggest a hope for reconciliation and a way out of the singer's pain. The singer asks someone to look into their heart and show him love, and the emotional refrain of "ooh" at the end of the song leaves the listener with a sense of vulnerability and a desire for human connection.

Gimme, gimme love
I need love, give me love


Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
Give me love even when I'm not around


When I'm gone
Even when I'm not here


Swinging out front, let me inside
Please welcome me in


Playing my song into my sides
My inner self resonates with this song


It hurts, I can't lie, remember those times
I'm hurting, and I've been through tough times


I fought to get out? I want to get out
I struggled to get out of a bad situation, and I want to keep moving forward


Those pictures so clear, they fade in my mind
The memories are vivid but they're fading away


You leavin' me here with ashes and fire
You left me with the aftermath of something painful


These people don't heal, these people don't feel

Do things turn black and grey as they go?
Does life become dark and dull over time?

When I'm too distant or isolated, will you still love me?


Give me love

Caught in a river of records and dreams
Stuck in a seemingly endless flow of music and aspirations


Oh, will you keep up with me?
Can you match my pace and ambition?


Everyone's looking for someone to hold
People are searching for someone to be close to


But I can't let you go
I can't bear to lose you

This is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, Joji's beautiful voice, the beat, the vibe.

And especially... The vibe of freedom in the end.

It's such a beautiful concept, when you're different and you don't correspond to the world. When you're different and you don't fit in, when you're an outcast and you're not good enough for anyone or anything, so you decide you're done with the cruel world and it's expectations. The way Joji ran to the ship, the way he middle fingered the whole world for being so cruel to him. Words can't describe that feeling of freedom, the beauty of finally escaping a world that isn't good enough for you.

And I could tell that in the end he was ok with dying (if that was what was happening in the ship), he made up his mind that it would be better to literally go out with a bang then dying in the cruel world that is earth, just like everyone else does.

This is the most beautiful form of defiance I've ever seen, as sad as it is I'm sure many people feel this way. I'm sure many people wanna jump in a space ship to escape this world's cruelty. We've probably all felt that way as kids, and we probably do to this day.

Joji/Frank is a beautiful being, like him or not it's true. And I'll never forget the beautiful feeling he's granted me through this song, because there's nothing else like it.

@@BookerDeWitt77 If you still haven't checked then his real name is George.
Also the album tells a story of his character originally starting out as (probably) homeless and alone until this video shows the guy (Wallace) got a job that he rose in the ranks until he either learned about an apocalyptic event or got so tired about the constant grind of life that he realized that its kinda just shitty no matter where he is so he decided to steal a rocket ship and just escape. Joji/FRANK said that no one really knows why but he got the sense that it was Wallace probably fucking everyone over in some way.

The last time we saw Wallace in the album was when he was on an abandoned planet (which could be purgatory, I guess) thinking about his past, but ultimately deciding that he either made the right choice or that he was just going to have to deal with the consequences of his actions. Either way, by leaving everything behind he found his own form of peace

















Also, dancing aliens led by Joji invaded earth, Wallace keeps on dreaming about men that had plastic surgery done, he might've been Sir Patrick Stewart at one point if that also wasn't a dream, and this was all a metaphor for relationships and anxiety.

Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Swing around front, let me inside
Playin' my song into my sides
It hurts, I can't lie
Remember those times I fought to get out?
I want to get out
Those pictures so clear, the fade in my mind
You leavin' me here with ashes and fire
These people don't heal, these people don't feel
These people aren't real, so make me this deal
Won't you?
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
Gimme-gimme love, gimme-gimme love
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Look into your heart and let me know
Do things turn black and gray as they go?
When I'm far too gone, can you show me love? (Ooh)
Give me love (ooh)
Caught in a river of records and dreams
Oh, will you keep up with me?
Everyone's looking for someone to hold
But I can't let you go
