Rubber
Pronto Mama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Collect your complex mind pass
Take your ticket
Join the queue
The holiday of a lifetime is waiting for you
Would float down the river with me?
Would you never say never to me?
We'll have a meeting of souls
Cold feet meet warmer shores
Welcoming mine and yours
The slot machines blink
The promenade sinks
There's a house with no doors (with a ragged old flag)
And Styrofoam floors (and it's flying half mast)
Open up lets go
We'll have a meeting of the souls
We can walk by the seaside and no one really knows that you're mine
We can walk by the seaside now you're mine
The lyrics of Pronto Mama's song Rubber suggest a sense of alienation and a search for connection. The first two lines, "Pierced trails, yellow drag backs, Collect your complex mind pass" may refer to the individualistic pursuits of society, where people try to discover their own paths and follow them despite the complexities in their minds. The lines that follow, "Take your ticket, Join the queue, The holiday of a lifetime is waiting for you" may offer a glimpse of the possibility of finding meaning in the midst of life's complexities. It seems like the song suggests that there is a way to find happiness and fulfillment in life, represented by the "holiday of a lifetime," if one is willing to take the chance.
The chorus of the song highlights the idea of opening up and connecting with others. "Open up let's go, We'll have a meeting of souls" may suggest that the singer is longing for connection and is inviting the listener to join them. The next few lines paint a picture of a beach resort where strangers come together to forget their worries and have fun. But there is also a sense of danger and instability, represented by the "house with no doors" and the "Styrofoam floors." These may symbolize the transient nature of life and the possibility of things falling apart at any moment.
Overall, Rubber seems to be about the search for happiness and connection in a world that can be simultaneously beautiful and unstable. The song appears to suggest that opening up and connecting with others may be the key to finding a sense of belonging and peace.
