Nice Song
Tolstoys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sat my whole life on the street
Searching only for my needs
He took a seat next to me
He taught me how to breathe deep

I draw one in, can′t let it out
Holding love inside my lungs
He came so close and bit my lip

And stole the air away from me

I give it glad, take all of it
We're locked inside this secret kiss

Your eyes meet mine we intertwine
Leaving all the streets behind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tolstoys's song Nice Song depict a person who has been living their entire life on the streets, searching only for their basic needs. This person is joined by someone else who teaches them how to breathe deeply, and in doing so, steals their breath away. There is a sense of surrender to this experience, as the person gives all they have and locks themselves in a secret kiss with the other.

On a deeper level, the lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the transformative power of love. The person who has been living on the streets could represent someone who has been lost and struggling to find meaning or purpose in life. The other person could represent love, which brings them a sense of peace and allows them to experience a deep connection that takes them away from their previous life.

The lines "Your eyes meet mine we intertwine / Leaving all the streets behind" suggest a sense of escape from the harsh realities of life on the streets, and a new beginning for the person who previously felt lost. Overall, the song Nice Song is a poignant exploration of the transcendent power of love to bring meaning and purpose to our lives.
