Twice As Nice
Pomplamoose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I think you look nice. Twice as nice as anybody else. So please don't lose your mind. Cause it doesn't belong to anybody else. No it doesn't belong to anybody else.
Maybe I should join the multitudes and climb the rusty mountain with a good 78 years ahead maybe even two and when I'm through I'll have more money and a parking spot and kids who wonder what to make of their fortunate lot. I'm afraid you haven't noticed you forgot to pack your teddy or perhaps he wasn't ready to leave all of it behind. The trains will keep on running and they'll still think you look funny cause you're wearing your pajamas and you haven't lost your smile.
The opening lines of Pomplamoose's "Twice As Nice" describe a moment of decision, in which the singer is faced with closed doors and the possibility of a new path. The song paints a picture of a life in flux, with trains coming and going, carrying people with different destinies and obligations. Despite the uncertainty and chaos of the world, one person catches the attention of the singer: someone who may be tinged with quirkiness or imperfection, but who inspires a feeling of admiration and enchantment. The chorus of the song reinforces this idea, that the person being addressed is twice as lovely as anyone else, and that the singer hopes they don't lose their mind, which belongs solely to them.
The second verse of "Twice As Nice" continues the theme of choices and youthful possibilities. The singer considers climbing a "rusty mountain" in order to achieve wealth, status and success, but also hints at the potential trade-offs involved, such as missing out on childhood joys or the affection of a bear (in the form of a teddy). The trains keep coming and going, suggesting that there are always new chances to pursue, but the singer seems to want to caution their beloved against losing sight of what makes them unique and special. The final lines of the song emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the face of societal pressures or external events.

@elebunny45
Nataly is special the way she looks so neutral singing, not to happy or sad or mad or constipated(lol). She's just cool the whole song. And Jack, I have no idea how he plays so many instruments. Friggin amazing...
@sgnalfyr23
You're one of those magical people who can make a song not rhyme yet sound absolutely thrilling. Yes, quite so.
@ethannguyen2754
Hello person from 11 years ago. I very much agree. I’m pretty sure they can make random slip ups sound amazing if they want to.
@floridaflamingogirl3119
@@ethannguyen2754 I love that one old song of theirs where Nataly's off-key singing from a take where she couldn't hear herself with her headphones just fits into the song perfectly. They are music wizards.

Как же я люблю вашу раннюю музыку! Извините, что не на английском, привет из России! ))

I am so glad I checked YT before I went to bed. You guys never cease to put a smile on my face. Here's to you, Pomplamoose! Also, congrats on selecting an artwork for your songs. I think you made a really great choice. Goodnight, Jack & Nat!
@Pieninja14
Sounds different the usual, but very cool!!! Still great as always. Because of you two, I have gotten really into music and writing it. You have helped open a chapter to my life, and I thank you. As I have said, "Play an instrument, you give music, give an instrument, you give a paintbrush and all the colors possible; you give them the key to open thousands of doors." And what you two have done is give me music and the spirit to play and write it. Thank you! Wow, I ranted. :|
@Pomplamoose
Haha. Funny story...The lyrics were actually written on a train.
