Icon
Ohmme Lyrics

She ladled the conversation
She carefully selected and controlled the topics discussed in conversation

Skimming from the top
She only talked about the surface level of things

That damn helium balloon from last year
A past event is still affecting her current situation

Still refuses to pop
The situation is ongoing and not resolved

They asked her what the plan was
Someone is asking her about her future goals and plans

It's really simple math
Her goals are straightforward and easy to understand

She's hungry to distraction
She is so focused on her goals that she is becoming distracted and losing focus on other things

And he's better hanging half
He is in a better position than her despite only putting in half the effort

I want a new icon
She desires a new role model or representation to guide and inspire her

She rounded out her edges
She smoothed out her rough edges in order to fit in and be more likeable

To be soft and diffuse
She made herself more approachable and less confrontational

Still hasn't found a better use
The same thing that affected her in the past is still present and unresolved

The second toe went numb
She experienced a physical sensation of discomfort or pain

She kicked the grizzly sludge
She took action to remove herself from an unpleasant or dirty situation

She's tallying a list of terrible things
She is focusing on negative thoughts and experiences

She doesn't need
She is realizing that some things she thought were necessary are not actually important

Buy until you die
Consumerism and material possessions will not bring true happiness or fulfillment

And I want a new icon
She repeats her desire for a new role model or representation to guide and inspire her
