The lyrics of TR/ST’s song ‘Joyland’ may initially appear to be elusive and difficult to interpret, and yet the power of the track lies precisely in its ambiguity. The opening line of the song, ‘Now get out, now’ sets an urgent, almost aggressive tone for the track, which is intensified by the repetition of the phrase ‘Now see it’. It is unclear whether the singer is addressing someone else, or perhaps trying to convince themselves of the reality of a situation.
The recurring theme of being ‘on top of the world’ heightens the sense of elation and possibility that runs through the song, and yet is often accompanied by a matching note of uncertainty and doubt. The repeated references to ‘fireflies’ suggests a desire for freedom and release, while the lines ‘Rest assure I sleep alone, Glue in mouth’ and ‘I miss your nose for your closet eyes’ both evoke a sense of loneliness and isolation. Meanwhile, the lines ‘Will I fall on loves? Will I see that the crime is found?’ hints at past mistakes and misdeeds.
