Hawaii
Tom Felton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And much to my dismay,
The snows been falling
It's been coming down since yesterday.
I go outside
To try and start my car -
Three hours later
I haven't gone very far.
Because the window's frosted over
And I still can't see.
I fall into a dream
And I wish that I could be…
In Hawaii…
And kicking back
is where you'd find me.
Somewhere underneath the palm tree,
On the island of Hawaii…
Yeah yeah yeah…
Cool breeze on my face,
It makes me stop and think -
The only brolly that's in sight
Is the mini one that's in my drink.
JD, coke and lime -
This is how I want to spend my time.
Not wasting hours
Being stuck on the M25.
The car in front's not moving
And I still can't see.
I fall into a dream,
And I wish that I could be…
In Hawaii…
And kicking back
Is where you'd find me.
And somewhere underneath
The palm tree,
On the island of Hawaii…
Yeah yeah yeah…
‘Cause I'm tryin'
To write a song,
But every chord I pick
Seems to be wrong.
And I'm holding on
To memories
Of when
I was on the island…
In Hawaii…
And kicking back
Is where you'd find me.
Somewhere underneath
The palm tree,
On the island of Hawaii…
In Hawaii…
And kicking back
Is where you'd find me.
And somewhere underneath
The palm tree,
On the island of Hawaii…
Yeah yeah yeah…
The lyrics of Tom Felton's "Hawaii" serve as a lamentation of a cold winter day, filled with frustration and longing for a tropical paradise. The singer wakes up to find that snow has been falling since the previous day and tries to start his car, but with little success. Frost on the windows obscures his view, causing him to fall into a daydream of being in Hawaii instead, lying under a palm tree and sipping a drink.
The chorus is a recurring motif that expresses the artist's desire to escape the dreary weather and mundane routine of life, and to be somewhere more exotic and carefree. The second verse mentions being stuck in traffic and wasting time on the M25 instead of enjoying life in the moment. The bridge highlights the musician's struggle to write a successful song, and his wistful memories of being in Hawaii.
Overall, "Hawaii" is an ode to island life, to sunshine, and to the freedoms of vacation that we often take for granted. Its themes are relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the hardships of winter or the frustration of not being able to do what they want to do. At its core, though, it's a breezy, optimistic tune that reminds us that sometimes, all we really need is a change of scenery.

I woke this morning
At the start of my day
And much to my dismay,
I'm disappointed about what I found
The snows been falling
It's been snowing heavily
It's been coming down since yesterday.
It started snowing since yesterday without any halt
I go outside
I step outside the house
To try and start my car -
With an attempt to start my car
Three hours later
After the duration of three hours
I haven't gone very far.
I wasn't able to proceed much
Because the window's frosted over
The window is covered with frost which makes it impossible to look through
And I still can't see.
I'm unable to see anything outside the window
I fall into a dream
I start daydreaming
And I wish that I could be…
I deeply desire to be someone or somewhere else
In Hawaii…
Being in Hawaii
And kicking back
Relaxing without a care in the world
is where you'd find me.
That's where I would be located
Somewhere underneath the palm tree,
Specifically beneath a palm tree
On the island of Hawaii…
On Hawaii island
Yeah yeah yeah…
An expression of agreement
Cool breeze on my face,
I'm feeling a refreshing breeze on my face
It makes me stop and think -
I'm getting absorbed in my thoughts because of this breeze
The only brolly that's in sight
The only umbrella which is visible to me
Is the mini one that's in my drink.
It's just the miniature umbrella kept in my drink
JD, coke and lime -
I'm enjoying my drink which contains Jack Daniels, Coca Cola and lime
This is how I want to spend my time.
This is how I would like to pass my time
Not wasting hours
I don't want to spend my time whole day
Being stuck on the M25.
Being stranded and unable to move an inch in M25
The car in front's not moving
The car ahead of me is not moving
And I still can't see.
I'm still unable to see the outside view
I fall into a dream,
I go back to daydreaming again
And I wish that I could be…
I yearn to be elsewhere instead of this place
‘Cause I'm tryin'
Because I'm attempting
To write a song,
To create a meaningful musical piece
But every chord I pick
I'm unable to pick the right chords
Seems to be wrong.
All my attempts are turning out to be incorrect
And I'm holding on
I'm cherishing something with the utmost longing
To memories
Remembering things from the past
Of when
Recollecting the time
I was on the island…
When I was spending my time on the island
In Hawaii…
On the island of Hawaii
And kicking back
Relaxing without any work pressure
Is where you'd find me.
That's the place where I would be located
Somewhere underneath
Particularly beneath
The palm tree,
A tree with extensive green leaves on top resembling a hand fan
On the island of Hawaii…
On the beautiful Hawaiian island
Yeah yeah yeah…
An expression of agreement
