Lovely Day
The Fox Lyrics

The lyrics of Lovely Day by The Fox describe a young woman named Keely who seems to be experiencing some kind of struggle or uncertainty in her life. The first line, "Now Keely waits it out," suggests that she is feeling stuck or at a crossroads. The next line, "Well she's only young enough for somethings," implies that she may be feeling pressure to make certain choices or follow a certain path before it's too late.

The following lines, "Healing the sick and dumb / In low on the radar, the smoking gun," suggest that Keely is involved in some kind of work where she is helping those who are in need, but perhaps not getting as much recognition as she deserves. The line "We’re moving fast enough to function / Fast enough to function" could be interpreted as a nod to the fast-paced nature of the world we live in, where it can often feel like we have to keep up just to get by.

The chorus, "So find your open door / In through the skin-tight sound / And keep that love underground" encourages Keely (and perhaps the listener) to find their own path, even if it's not the most obvious or mainstream choice. The line "skin-tight sound" could be a reference to music or the feeling of being enveloped in something that feels tight and familiar. The phrase "keep that love underground" may suggest that the best things and most meaningful connections are often those that are not as visible or celebrated by the world at large.

The second verse continues the theme of uncertainty and insecurity, with the lines "Busy scenery / So transfixed on transparent things / An eye for her tiger a bee for her bloom / She crosses her fingers and crosses the room." Keely seems to be navigating a world that is distracting and full of superficial things, but she still has her eye on what's important to her.

The final lines of the song, "So catch your salted tears / Before they hit the ground / And keep that love underground" offer a sense of hope and determination. Keely (and the listener) are encouraged to keep going, to hold onto their emotions and their passions, even if the world doesn't seem to be paying attention.
