On Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wouldn't mention this to anyone
Where the hell do those sheep think they're going?
As soon as I pay up, I'm getting out of here
Could you leave us alone for just a minute?
Lately, my life has been flashing before my eyes
I know I should be concerned about what this means
But I just keep watching
Could you leave us alone for just a minute?
Where do you think you are?
Ginger Park
Where do you think you are?
Ginger Park
I don't belong there, I don't belong anywhere
I don't belong there, I don't belong anywhere
I don't belong there and I guess and I never will
And I don't belong anywhere
Could you leave us alone for just a minute?
Where do you think you are?
Ginger Park
The lyrics of On Wave’s song “Ginger” are enigmatic and cryptic, leaving room for different interpretations. The song opens up with a surrealistic image of French fries glistening in the noon-day sun, which could be interpreted as an ode to the simple pleasures in life, or a commentary on consumerism and junk food culture. The following line “I wouldn't mention this to anyone” adds to the sense of isolation and insecurity that permeates the rest of the song.
The singer seems to be lost and disoriented, both physically and emotionally, as they observe sheep passing by and contemplate leaving. The line “Where do you think you are? Ginger Park” suggests that this is a specific location, but it’s unclear whether it’s a physical or a psychological space. The repeated chorus “I don't belong there, I don't belong anywhere” reinforces the theme of a sense of displacement and alienation, which is again contrasted with the mundane and almost banal imagery of French fries and sheep.
The song seems to be a poignant reflection on the human condition, and the search for meaning and connection. The repeated line “Could you leave us alone for just a minute?” could be seen as a plea for solitude and introspection, or it could be directed at external forces that are perceived as disruptive or intrusive. Overall, “Ginger” is a fascinating and enigmatic track that invites multiple readings and interpretations.
