Follow Me
Softies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the one you thought you'd never find
a sudden coastal holiday makes you see me in a
different way
your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
listing off my favorite things
but first I wished and now it's true
I'm becoming awfully fond of you
your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
you didn't know me and still you called
I didn't find it strange at all
seeming like the thing to do
I knew it then and so did you
your voice was so hollow
I'm glad you've come to follow me
follow me, follow me
follow me, follow me
The song "Follow Me" by Softies is a charming and whimsical love song that reflects on the surprising ways in which people can connect with each other. The lyrics describe a moment when someone's unexpected attention sparks a new interest in the singer, causing them to see the person in a different light. The singer describes the surreal feeling of having someone follow them and lists off their favourite things, seemingly as a way of getting to know each other better. The repetition of the line "your voice sounds so hollow" creates a sense of distance and detachment that contrasts with the intimacy of the situation, suggesting that the singer is still unsure about their feelings.
Overall, the song seems to celebrate the beauty of chance encounters and the magic of falling in love in unexpected ways. The lyrics are simple and direct, but the melody and instrumentation create a dreamy, atmospheric feeling that perfectly captures the mood of the song. The Softies' delicate, understated vocals add to the overall sense of vulnerability and tenderness, making "Follow Me" a perfect anthem for anyone who has ever been surprised by love.
