The original idea of Pond was to be able to get anyone they wanted to play whatever they wanted in a collaborative musical project.

Their second album, Corridors of Blissterday, was completed live with an eight piece band in five days, and released in June 2009.

When It Explodes
Pond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me how long i can float
Don't want to sing the song
That we wrote together so long ago
So long ago
So let me know
So let me know
Where is it going
When it explodes

I hope that my head is not all straight
Loving you and i just can't wait
Till something great something unknown
So let me know
So let me know

Where is it going
When it explodes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pond's song "When It Explodes" depict a sense of uncertainty and anxiety about the future of a romantic relationship. The singer asks how long they can "float," hinting at a feeling of instability and a fear of being at sea. The singer also expresses reluctance to revisit a past song written together, perhaps indicating an insecurity in their shared past. The repetition of the phrase "So let me know" emphasizes the singer's need for clarity and direction, while the final line of the chorus "Where is it going when it explodes" suggests an impending end to the relationship.

The opening line of the second verse reveals more about the singer's state of mind, expressing a hope that their "head is not all straight." This could imply that the singer is struggling with emotional turbulence or instability, which is reinforced by the line "Loving you and I just can't wait" - again, a sense of urgency about the relationship. The final lines of the chorus suggest that there is potential for something "great" and "unknown" on the horizon - hope amid uncertainty.
