The Broadways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I think I think too much.
Or my heart just seems to run away
I thought of you, I thought of you
FUCK THE WHOLE WORLD
I just want to sit and cry tonite in the arms that make me happy.
I never thought a smile could my life, what a pretty girl on such a
Cloudy day.
Every night I make a wish that I'll see you tomorrow.
Sugar.
Never tasted anything so sweet.
Never felt something so beautiful.
This ugly world needs more beauty like yours.
My star.
My love.
The Broadways' song "Dropjaw" is a melancholic tune that speaks to the feeling of being lost in one’s thoughts and feeling overwhelmed by one’s emotions. The lyrics highlight the daily struggle of people who feel like they are walking through life without any real direction or purpose. The opening lines, “Seems like another wasted day. Sometimes I think I think too much,” speaks to this aimless path people often find themselves on, thinking they might be overthinking their lives.
The chorus of the song is a moment of catharsis. The singer cries out in frustration, "FUCK THE WHOLE WORLD / I just want to sit and cry tonite in the arms that make me happy." This line shows how the world can be a hard and ugly place, and that sometimes we just need to be held and comforted. Towards the end of the song, the singer admits that they never thought a single smile could change their life until they met the person they wrote this song for.
Overall, "Dropjaw" is an emotional song that captures the feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness that can come with life at times. Yet, it's also a song of hope- hope that the right person can make everything better.
