Tahiti 80 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You spend your days on your own
Thinking about troubles of your own
You dream of the day
You will accept your reflections all alone

You're not the only one
To feel that way you know
I'm not the only one
To feel that emptiness in me

You know that's why
I'd like to be somebody else
Somebody without feelings
Only sensations and money

There is nothing within my range
That can bring this radical change
Everyday's the same
The story's rather tame

Among everyone I know
No one ever shows
What in their heart grows
Or I guess I don't want to know
I'm afraid of what I'd see
People disgust me
When I find out what they're all about

You're not the only one
To feel that way you know
I'm not the only one
To feel that emptiness in me

You know that's why
I'd like to be somebody else
Somebody without feelings
Only sensations and money





Only sensations,
Sensations, sensations, and money

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tahiti 80's song "Puzzle" convey feelings of loneliness, isolation and longing for a different life. The singer addresses someone who spends their days thinking about their troubles, dreaming of a day when they can accept themselves alone. These feelings are universal, and the singer acknowledges that they also feel an emptiness within themselves. The repetition of the line "you're not the only one" and "I'm not the only one" shows that these thoughts and feelings are not uncommon.


The singer goes on to express a desire to be someone else, someone without feelings, only focused on sensual experiences and money. This is a poignant commentary on the idea of people using money and material possessions as a substitute for happiness and emotional fulfillment. The line "people disgust me when I find out what they're all about" highlights a disillusionment with humanity and a reluctance to truly understand the people around them.


Overall, "Puzzle" is a melancholic reflection on the search for meaning and happiness in a world that can often feel empty and unsatisfying.
