White Peacock
YMA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under the town and start a fight
Against the moonlight
Against the moonlight
Every single day
I put a spell on the sun
And say hey
To the clouds next door
Pick up the hurry
Hurried fluid
Hurried thought
Smashing my head
Exploding veins
Squeeze it
Squeeze it
Into the white peacock
The lyrics of "White Peacock" by YMA are enigmatic and open to various interpretations. The song reflects feelings of inner conflict and emotional turmoil that the singer experiences while trying to make sense of her thoughts and feelings. The opening lines "So I lay down, under the town and start a fight against the moonlight" suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed by the world's problems and wanting to take action against it. The reference to the moonlight could represent a search for clarity or enlightenment amidst the chaos. The repeated line "Against the moonlight" emphasizes the singer's struggle to reconcile her inner world with the external world's demands.
The following lines "Every single day, I put a spell on the sun, and say hey, how is it going? to the clouds next door" suggest a sense of isolation and longing for connection. The imagery of putting spells on the sun highlights a desire to have control over her life, while asking the clouds next door how they are doing suggests a need for companionship and a sense of community.
The last lines "Pick up the hurry, hurried fluid, hurried thought, smashing my head, exploding veins, squeeze it, squeeze it, into the white peacock" portray a sense of frustration with oneself and the world's expectations. The imagery of "exploding veins," while violent, could represent a release of pent-up emotions. The "white peacock" could represent a symbol of purity or innocence that the singer is desperately trying to hold onto amidst the chaos and turmoil around her.
