How Its Gonna Go
Wavves X Cloud Nothings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heart beating out of chest
Don't know at all
How it's going to go
Sharks swimming in the ocean
My head buried in the sand
Don't know at all
How it's going to go
How it's going to go
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
Sun blisters in the snow
Heart beating out of chest
I'm such a fucking mess, don't know at all
How it's going to go
Sharks swimming in the ocean
My head buried in the sand
Don't know at all
How it's going to go
I don't know at all
How it's going to go
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
I feel it open, I feel
I feel it open up around me
The lyrics of "How It's Gonna Go" by Wavves X Cloud Nothings express feelings of uncertainty and fear of the unknown. The sun blisters in the snow and the heart beating out of the chest symbolize a feeling of contradiction that grips the singer. The latter can see the beauty of the sun setting over snowy landscapes, but at the same time, the heart is racing with fear and anticipation. The sharks swimming in the ocean and the head buried in the sand are both opposing images, signifying a state of confusion and helplessness.
The chorus "I feel it open up around me" has a contrasting effect to the overall anxiety of the song. It brings out a feeling of freedom and the possibility of something new. The singer is struggling to control the outcome of his life, but there's a sense that something beyond their control is happening, and they have to step back and let it unfold.
Overall, the lyrics of "How It's Gonna Go" capture the fear and anxiety that come with anticipating the unknown. However, the chorus provides hope that something new and exciting might be around the corner, and though the singer doesn't know how it's going to go, they are open to the possibilities.
