Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mixed emotions got me feeling for a change feeling out of place so...
I had a lover once that stole my heart and I left her in California
Lord these emotions got me feeling out of place
My home’s looking so strange
They got the run way fire kicking’ down the door mat says your welcome home
Pakalolo hula skirts and getting lei’d is what we came here for
while the warm wind blows a chance to find it nobody knows
with the tourist season ending soon mingling on them corner street with people we know Waikiki B boys in the background breaking
Tomorrows Bad Seeds Ohana family
they got the run way fire kickin’ down the door mat says your welcome home
Pakalolo hula skirts and getting lei’d is what we came here for
And I cant stand no down pressor man trying to take what’s mine
im bound to get what I deserve
sloppy seconds just aint my style
if you spend a little time I'll make it worth your while
I cant stand no down pressor man trying to take what’s mine
bound to get what I deserve
sloppy seconds just aint my style
you spend a little time Ill make it worth your while
The lyrics to Tomorrows Bad Seeds's song "Roundtrip" depict the singer's journey away from home, as they struggle with mixed emotions and feeling out of place. The singer references a past lover in California who stole their heart, indicating that perhaps leaving that person behind may have contributed to their current emotional state. The song also includes a number of references to Hawaii, from the "Pakalolo" (a type of marijuana) to the "hula skirts" and "lei'd" (a Hawaiian tradition of greeting with a garland of flowers).
Through the lyrics, the singer seems to find some measure of solace or escape in their surroundings, including sleeping "half naked on a peak" and "mingling" with people in the streets. However, they also express frustration with those who try to take what is theirs, vowing to get what they deserve and reject "sloppy seconds." In this way, the lyrics may be commenting on the idea of finding oneself through travel, while still acknowledging the realities of discrimination and exploitation that can occur when exploring new places.
Overall, "Roundtrip" is a song that conveys a complex mix of emotions and experiences, touching on themes of love, identity, and the search for meaning in life. Through its vivid imagery and nostalgic references to Hawaii and California, the song invites listeners to take their own journey and explore the world around them.
