Follow My Girl
The Japanese House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I chose mine and it was unforgiving
Someone gave me guidance, there was something in it
I put it into practice and I tried to live it
I'm self-dividing and I have no limit
I can't fix it, it's not right
Nothing feels good, it's not right
Make funny faces at its own reflection
(Nothing feels good, it's not right)
So I'll follow my girl
'Til I find myself a sense of direction
(Nothing feels good, it's not right)
I found a subsidence but I overlooked it
Someone gave me guidance and for once I took it
I put it in perspective and I see so clearly
I'm part of the collective, oh I nearly reached it
In the distance, caught the light
I can fix it, make it bright
Watching my world
Make funny faces at its own reflection
(Nothing feels good, it's not right)
So I'll follow my girl
'Til I find myself a sense of direction
(Nothing feels good, it's not right)
Watching my world
Make funny faces at its own reflection
So I'll follow my girl
'Til I found myself a sense of direction
Nothing feels good, I can't fix it, it's not right
Right
Nothing feels good, I can't fix it, it's not right
Right
Watching my world
Make funny faces at its own reflection
(Nothing feels good, it's not right)
So I'll follow my girl
'Til I find myself a sense of direction
(Nothing feels good, it's not right)
The lyrics of "Follow My Girl" by The Japanese House explore the theme of self-discovery and the search for meaning and direction in life. The singer reflects on their own individuality and the choices they have made, acknowledging that their path has been challenging and unforgiving. Despite receiving guidance from others, they feel divided within themselves and unable to find true satisfaction or contentment. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and longing for something that feels right.
The chorus highlights the singer's desire to find guidance and a sense of purpose through someone they refer to as "my girl." It suggests that by following this person, they hope to find clarity and a sense of direction in their own life. The lyrics depict a metaphorical search for self-identity and purpose, as the singer observes their world making "funny faces at its own reflection," implying a sense of disconnect or dissatisfaction with the world around them.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on a missed opportunity (the subsidence) and how they have previously overlooked guidance. However, now they realize the importance of perspective and understanding their connection to others. They express a desire to be part of a collective and almost feel a sense of reaching it. The line "I can fix it, make it bright" indicates a growing optimism that they can find a solution to their internal struggles and make their life more fulfilling.
Overall, "Follow My Girl" explores the universal longing for meaning and purpose and the search for self-discovery. It emphasizes the importance of guidance, perspective, and connection with others in finding a sense of direction and fulfillment in life.

Different people have their different ways of living.
I chose mine and it was unforgiving.
Someone gave me guidance - there was something in it.
I put it into practice and I tried to live it.
I am self dividing and I have no limit.
(No nothing feels good it's not right)
I can't fix it it's not right.
Nothing feels good it's not right.
Watching my world make funny faces at its own reflection.
So I'll follow my girl till I find myself a sense of direction.
I felt a subsidence but I overlooked it.
Someone gave me guidance and for once I took it.
I put it in perspective and I see so clearly.
I'm part of a collective.
Oh I nearly reached it in the distance.
Caught in the light, I can fix it, make it right
