A Goood Sign
Soft Hair Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When he arrive it's a good sign
Been a long time
There's berries and bright light
When he ride in the first time
In your lives
We in the full high

When he arrive it's a good sign

Been a long time
There's berries and bright light
When he ride in the first time

In your life
We in the go and hide

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Soft Hair's "A Good Sign" are open to interpretation, but it seems like this song is about a mysterious figure who brings positivity with them upon their arrival. The line "When he arrive it's a good sign" sets the tone for the rest of the song. Whoever "he" is, his presence is welcomed and celebrated. The repetition of "been a long time" suggests a sense of anticipation or longing for this person to arrive. The mention of "berries and bright light" adds to the sense of celebration and abundance. The use of "ride" instead of "arrive" in the second stanza adds a sense of movement to the scene. The line "we in the full high" could be a reference to being under the influence of something, or simply being in a state of euphoria.

The second half of the song takes a slightly darker turn with the lyrics "we in the go and hide". The suggestion of hiding implies danger or the need for secrecy. It could be that "he" is a fugitive or someone who brings consequences with his arrival. However, the ambiguity of the lyrics leaves room for the listener's imagination.

Overall, "A Good Sign" is a song that is full of mystery and ambivalence. It creates a dreamlike atmosphere with its repetitive lyrics and hypnotic groove.
