The Aquadolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my heart is saying yes but my mind says no
are you dangerous
or are you a danger to my lack of fun
are you the one that'll open my mind
and make me see things i've never seen before
will you conquer me
or will i prevail
i dont know but i'll take this chance
oh baby smile let your teeth show, trip out
let your mind wander
i dont know but i'll take this chance
oh baby smile let your teeth show, trip outtt
let your mind wander around
high places and familiar faces
high faces and familiar places
the air is dreamy yet im wide awake
i pray the lord acid to take
are you real
or a vision in clear
my mind is causing swirlies in my eyes
lucy danced with me to my surprise
are you awake
or is this a lucid dream
i dont know but i'll take this chance
oh baby smile let your teeth show, trip out
let your mind wander
i dont know but i'll take this chance
oh baby smile let your teeth show, trip outtt
let your mind wander around
high places and familiar faces
high faces and familiar places

The Aquadolls's song Wander is a mesmerizing track about taking a chance on someone and letting your mind wander in different directions. The lyrics follow the singer as she battles her own insecurities and doubts regarding the object of her affection. She questions whether she should let herself indulge in a person who might be dangerous but also exciting, and whether this new experience would open her mind to new things or just leave her lost and conquered.
The chorus acts as a mantra for the singer, who is convinced that she doesn't know where this journey will take her, but she's willing to take a chance and let her mind wander free. The track's use of metaphors and imagery, such as "lucy danced with me to my surprise" and "high places and familiar faces," adds to the dreamy atmosphere of the lyrics. Moreover, the reference to acid in the line "I pray the lord acid to take" hints at the singer's willingness to indulge in mind-altering substances to experience something new.
Overall, Wander is a beautiful track that explores the themes of self-discovery and the unknown. The lyrics encourage the listener to take a leap of faith and let their heart guide them, even if the mind is hesitant.
