Yoyo
Parsley Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lose a silence
Sparks turn into flames
Wanna run
Razor rain on your window pain
Yoyo I swear
Vulcan days and tourist miles
We share
Avalon's burning every night
By the fireside
The church of fascinations
River's so deep when treasure's bright
The paradigm
For every precious thing you are
Razor rain on your window pain
You're not insane
(Yoyo I swear/now do you believe me)
Vulcan days and tourist miles
Take a certain style
To compensate it all
The lyrics from Parsley Sound's song Yoyo have an overall feeling of urgency and an adventurous spirit. It speaks of being caught up in the moment, running away from something or towards something, amidst the unique setting of neon nights and razor rains. The song could be interpreted as a narrative of two individuals experiencing a thrilling ride together, discovering new and exciting things along the way.
The first two lines of the song are most probably figurative, describing the sounds of the city night in terms of neon lights that somehow lose the silence. It’s like being caught in a lively and chaotic atmosphere, where sparks seem to turn into flames, and all you want to do is run towards something new and exciting. A razor rain on your windowpane further heightens this imagery, making it a bit ominous but in a good way. The following lines speak of a promise made, amidst Vulcan days and tourist miles, indicating that the two individuals are out to explore and experience life in a unique way, different from what most people would do.
The song also mentions Avalon, which is known in legend as a symbolic paradise or a utopian abode of the blessed with King Arthur and his knights of the round table. Avalon was often believed to be an idyllic place that would present an opportunity for transformation, growth, and spiritual awakening. The church of fascinations could be a metaphor for the things that excite us so much, the dreams and the things we aspire for that make us feel alive. The last line of the song may suggest that it takes a specific kind of style, approach, or mindset to navigate the challenges that come with chasing after our desires.
