Partynextdoor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Easier to say than mean it these days
I wanna feel joy
Joy, for the noise
Mhm baby, I'm letting down my hair, up in my car
When will we that say we've taken it too far?
Baby you're still a joy, that I've taken too much of
Let me see it, mhm
Let me fuck my joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy
I wanna sing joy baby, I wanna sing joy
I wanna feel joy, I wanna feel joy
Joy (feel joy)
Let me find my joy
I wanna feel joy, oh, for the noise baby
Taking it too far
Let me see, let me find
Joy, joy, joy, (let me feel joy)
Joy (i wanna feel joy)
I wanna feel joy

Through this song, he seeks to find joy, not just in the external noise and distractions, but within himself.
The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to let loose and be carefree, symbolized by letting down his hair and driving in his car.

The repetition of "let me" and "joy" in the chorus emphasizes his desire to find and embrace joy in his life. He wants to experience the blissful feeling of joy and to express it through singing. The repeated phrase "I wanna feel joy" further emphasizes his longing for genuine happiness.
Overall, "Joy" by PARTYNEXTDOOR explores the complexities of finding and maintaining true joy in a world that often prioritizes fleeting pleasures and superficial connections.
