Giant Tortoise
Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the kind, the fragile heart
And am I too young to be tired?
Give on, don't prove me wrong
Why would I even try?
Like some, sky
Just callin' drinking wine
Oh, now can I feel alright
The lyrics of Pond's song Giant Tortoise are highly introspective and speak about the struggle to find purpose in life. The first few lines speak about a desire to escape into the dark and fragile heart. The following line, "And am I too young to be tired?" speaks about the feeling of being lost and aimless despite being young. The lyric "Give on, don't prove me wrong," is a message of hope, encouraging the listener to keep trying and not let doubts and fears get the best of them.
The next few lines seem to express the internal conflict of trying to find meaning in life. The singer questions why they should even try, drawing a parallel to the vast expanse of the sky that seems unreachable. However, the line "just callin' drinking wine" implies a sense of camaraderie or joyousness amidst uncertainty. The following lines "Pride, we're feeling fine" suggest that even in the face of despair, one can still find pride in their accomplishments and feel good about themselves. The final line "Oh, now can I feel alright" seems like the singer is searching for some sort of reassurance or a sense of purpose.
Overall, the lyrics of the song can be interpreted in many ways. They speak about the journey of self-discovery, the struggle to find meaning in life, and the hope that one can still find a path forward despite the challenges they face.

Dream to sleep out in the dark
To drown a fragile heart
Am I too young to retire?
Give up, don't prove me a liar
Why would I even try?
Like some vivacious guy?
Just groan and drink and cry
Bright, revealing light
How can I feel alright?

Like some vivacious guy?
Just groan and drink and cry
Bright, revealing light
How can I feel alright?

As said on the other song, Pond and Tame Impala are truly the best bands in the last decade. They not only sound amazing, they also give us the feeling that music is turning into music again...
