JOY.
Weather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every morning my mother would write
c little love letter to encourage my ride
Down to the schoolhouse in a new little town
Where my family had always been from
I was a miniature bundle of nerves
c heart full of wonder so fully exposed
This table setting for a grand tapestry
I never imagined how short it would be

Stacked up, the time that we had
Might be surprised by how tall it would stand
Every moment comes along a flat line
We see the horizon, but not the design

Superman reruns and the five a.m. blues
My father's resistance to anything new
Making up languages, chasing the noise
Brothers and sisters in the house of joy

Stacked up the time that we had
Might be surprised by how tall it would stand
Every moment comes along a flat line
We see the horizon, but not the design

One last adventure for the family undone
I'll meet everybody halfway to the sun
This ain't Colorado or a Hannibal night
It's an endless repeater in a looking glass sky

Stacked up the time that we had
Might be surprised by how tall it would stand
Every moment comes along a flat line
We see the horizon, but not the design
Pulled back before you might fall
Fully impressed by the weight of it all




Love is a capsule around the flat line
Beyond the horizon where we conquer time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Weather's song "JOY." speak about the nostalgic memories and experiences of the singer's childhood. The song starts with a reference to the singer's mother writing love letters every morning, providing encouragement for the singer's journey to school in a new town. The singer reflects on their younger self, a bundle of nerves but filled with wonder and curiosity. The singer describes their family as being rooted in this town, creating a foundation like a grand tapestry. However, the singer also realizes that their perception of time and moments is limited.


The chorus suggests that the passage of time and the moments we experience may surprise us with their impact and significance. Each moment may appear as a flat line, symbolizing a lack of understanding or clarity about its purpose or design. The horizon is visible, but the full picture remains hidden. The lyrics also touch upon the singer's childhood memories, such as watching Superman reruns and feeling the early morning blues. The reference to the father's resistance to change implies a sense of familiarity and tradition in the family dynamics.


The second verse further explores the singer's childhood experiences, including making up languages and chasing the noise. The phrase "brothers and sisters in the house of joy" evokes a sense of unity and happiness within the family. The bridge of the song introduces the concept of one last adventure, perhaps indicating the end of the singer's childhood or the final experiences shared as a family. Meeting halfway to the sun suggests a journey towards something unknown or beyond their current reality. The reference to a looking glass sky implies a distorted perception or reflection of their surroundings.


The lyrics conclude with the notion that love acts as a capsule around the flat line of time, suggesting that love provides meaning and purpose amidst the uncertainties of life. Beyond the horizon, where time is conquered, lies a realm of possibilities and growth.
