Around Here
Soviet Soviet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your darling kiss, your darling surprise
Your darling kiss because you're far
Should it be
Crazy times spent with you, and wait for me around here
Like a fall
Pretty face
Pretty face to the sea
You wake up, you wake up in the morning
Your darling kiss, your darling is a surprise
Your darling kiss because you're far
Should it be
Crazy times spent with you, and wait for me around here
The lyrics of Soviet Soviet's song "Around Here" are poetic and abstract, leaving a lot of room for interpretation. The song seems to be about a long-distance relationship, or perhaps a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The opening lines describe waking up in the morning to a "darling kiss" that is somehow both a surprise and a reminder of distance. The repeated refrain "wait for me around here" underscores the sense of longing and uncertainty that pervades the song.
The middle section of the song is more impressionistic, with lines like "Like a fall / Like a fault that brings me to crawl like a fall / Pretty face / Pretty face to the sea." These lines seem to convey a sense of helplessness or even despair, as the singer struggles with their feelings of isolation and inadequacy.
Overall, the lyrics of "Around Here" are raw and emotional, perhaps reflecting the turbulence and uncertainty of the times in which they were written. The song is a poignant snapshot of a relationship in flux, and the ways in which distance and longing can warp our perceptions of ourselves and those we love.
