Heatwave
Vundabar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a small town
Caught up in the fever of July
I'm a cold case
In the hot ground
Seed sown in the fever of your mind
And, oh, ooh
And now we're, ohh
Together
It's a heatwave
I'm a bad case
You caught it right
Caught up on the whisper of the wind
It's a madness
Louder at night
We plant everything we've got growing
Oh, ooh
Forever
And now we're, ohh
Together
It's a heatwave
The beginning of Vundabar's "Heatwave" presents us with two contrasting pieces - "I'm a heatwave" and "You're a small town." This serves as a metaphor for the relationship between two people who are incompatible with each other, like a heatwave in the midst of a serene small town. The singer reveals that he is the heatwave, the one who is unpredictable and uncontrollable, like a fever that overtakes you. The small town that the singer is addressing is someone who's much more ordered and has a conventional lifestyle, and who may feel overwhelmed by the unpredictable heatwave. The singer acknowledges their differences, yet he mentions that he's a cold case in the hot ground, which means that his rebellious nature is something that lurks around year-round, despite the heat of July.
The following verse presents us with further imagery and a more profound relationship between the singer and the small town that he's addressing. The line "I'm a bad case, you caught it right" highlights that the small town caught onto the heatwave's fiery nature deliberately. The madness and the feverish tone of the relationship are revealed through the lines "Louder at night, we plant everything we've got growing." The couple has grown an intense bond despite their difference, which occasionally results in an explosive heatwave. Yet, the chorus suggests a sense of surety regarding the bond between the two, with the lines "Forever, and now we're together/It's a heatwave."
