The Walk
Oso Oso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the freckles in your face.
my head in outer space.
the devil in our frame.
and i couldn't believe, you were wasting your time with me.
i'll stay mute (cause i never find the words to say.)
and just stand still (cause you always find a way to slip away.)
i was lost. i was scared. i have always been this way.
"so reassemble and remake."
you and i walked together on the beach, no shoes on our feet,
and you said the sand underneath is like the people we might meet.
and "every single grain will some day be washed away."
and i should've felt lucky just to have washed up on your beach.
but i said "if im sand, what the oceans? the wind? and erosion? the lightning and the rain? and how come we feel pain?"
and i've realized i was so wrong once again. just misinterpreting everything you said….
The song "The Walk" by Oso Oso talks about the struggles of a person who is feeling lost and uncertain about themselves and their place in the world. The opening lines, "what? wait. the freckles in your face. my head in outer space. the devil in our frame" suggests a sense of confusion and disconnection. The person feels like their mind is in outer space and they are struggling with their inner demons.
Then, comes the line "and I couldn't believe, you were wasting your time with me" indicates that they feel undeserving of the love and attention they are receiving. The next two lines, "I'll stay mute (cause I never find the words to say.) and just stand still (cause you always find a way to slip away.)" show a lack of confidence and an inability to communicate their feelings properly.
The chorus talks about a moment shared between the person and their love interest, where they walked together on the beach with no shoes on. The metaphor of the sand underneath being like the people we might meet suggests the transience of relationships and how people come and go in our lives. However, the person cannot fully appreciate the moment and express gratitude for being able to experience it.
The last line of the chorus "and i've realized i was so wrong once again. just misinterpreting everything you said…" shows that the person is aware of their own faults and miscommunications. They realize that they have been wrong in their interpretations and want to make things right.
Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional portrayal of someone who is struggling with their self-worth and relationships. It highlights the importance of communication and understanding in any relationship.
