Penelope Isles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr i donʼt think youʼve opened your eyes
Canʼt you see iʼm here something money canʼt buy
Iʼm the sea wonʼt you swim in me just one little time
See this is what it could be like
Iʼm a fraud when i say that i hate my hair
Nicotine makes a teen i really donʼt care
But itʼs you hunny youʼve been blowing smoke in my eyes if you opened yours then we could work out why
And iʼll promise to be there with you all day if you wanna show me where the clouds are where the clouds are
I work hard and iʼll say that i do as i please wanna get fucked up hexagon knees
Iʼm no fool my friend
I will spend all my money on what i want animals samuel louis vuitton
Play it cool till the end
-
And iʼll promise to be there with you all day if you wanna show me where the clouds are where the clouds are
Take your head outside
Jack and jill they went downhill they were killing it until
Even though there were hard times we were lovers in real time
Ring a ring a rose




Tell me which way to happy
Play it cool till the end

Overall Meaning

In "Play It Cool" by Penelope Isles, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and frustration with a partner who seems oblivious to the singer's presence and worth. They plead with "Mr" to open their eyes and recognize that there are things that money cannot buy, such as the singer's presence and depth of emotion. The imagery of the sea symbolizes vastness and possibility, inviting the listener to take a chance on a relationship that could be fulfilling and enriching. The singer expresses a desire for connection and understanding, asking for mutual effort in navigating their feelings and potential together.


The lyrics also touch on themes of self-perception and rebellion against societal norms. The singer admits to feeling like a fraud when expressing dissatisfaction with their appearance, highlighting the superficial nature of such concerns. Reference to nicotine and teenage apathy suggests a disregard for conventional behavior and a willingness to challenge expectations. The partner is called out for clouding the singer's vision with their actions, implying a need for clarity and honesty in the relationship.


The chorus reinforces a willingness to commit to the relationship, offering to be there for the partner throughout the day and explore moments of joy together, symbolized by finding where the clouds are. The mention of working hard and indulging in hedonistic pleasures hints at a complex personality, someone who seeks enjoyment and fulfillment in unconventional ways. The mention of spending money on personal desires and referencing luxury brands like Louis Vuitton suggests a mix of materialism and individuality, emphasizing the singer's determination to live authentically.


Towards the end of the song, there is a sense of resolve and acceptance of life's ups and downs. The reference to Jack and Jill going downhill despite their initial success highlights the transient nature of happiness and success. Despite challenges and difficult times, the singer asserts the importance of maintaining a cool demeanor and staying true to oneself. The repeated phrase "Play it cool till the end" embodies an attitude of resilience and self-assurance, emphasizing the need to navigate through life's uncertainties with grace and composure, seeking happiness and authenticity along the way.
