Ofln - Weezer Lyrics

Hip, hip
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
Hip, hip

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Hip, hip
Hip, hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip, hip
Hip, hip
Hip, hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip, hip
(We'll never feel bad anymore)
Hip, hip
(No) hip, (no), hip
(We'll never feel bad anymore)
Hip, hip




(No) hip, (no), hip
(No) hip, (no), hip

Overall Meaning

In "Island In The Sun" by Weezer, the lyrics convey a longing for escape and a desire for a carefree existence on a tropical island. The song speaks to the feeling of being on vacation, where worries and stress are left behind. The repetitive "hip, hip" at the beginning of each verse sets a joyful and rhythmic tone, almost like a chant or cheer.


The opening lines suggest that when someone is on a holiday, they sometimes struggle to articulate the incredible experiences and feelings they encounter. The singer expresses their own desire to feel what the other person is feeling. The idea of being on an island in the sun represents a paradise-like getaway, where the singer imagines playing and having fun.


The lyrics continue to express the freedom and liberation of being in this idyllic setting. The notion that a "golden sea" doesn't require any memories implies that the moment is so perfect that one doesn't need anything else to enhance it. The paradise becomes a place to call one's own, where the boundaries of reality fade away as they "drift into the zone."


The repetition of the chorus reinforces the desire for this escape and its positive effects on the singer's mental state. They imagine running away together and spending an eternity in this blissful place where they will never feel bad again.


Overall, "Island In The Sun" encapsulates the yearning for a carefree existence away from the pressures of everyday life, where happiness and inner peace can be found in a tropical paradise.
