Yungblud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the low, I get vertigo from body overdose
So tell me your name and tell me your problems, I got the same
And I wanna get stuck between your teeth like cotton candy
So you remember me darlin'
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I knowI'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I figured out that the modern world is turnin' the wrong way 'round
There's somethin' about the way our bedsheets turn religion upside down
So we just have sex to solve all our problems, let's do it again
And I wanna get stuck between your teeth like cotton candy
So you remember me darlin'
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
Leave me in the mornin', although
I don't wanna be on my own
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
Leave me in the mornin', although
I don't wanna be on my own
I'm losin' myself in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, I know
In the first verse of Yungblud's "Cotton Candy," the singer acknowledges that he is not monogamous, with a specific reference to a girl named Tallulah whom he knows is not his only romantic partner. He continues on to describe his physical addiction to intimacy, framing it as an overdose, but seeking to know the girl's name and problems so that he can get close to her emotionally as well. The metaphor of wanting to be stuck between her teeth like cotton candy implies that he wishes to be a sweet and memorable part of her experience. The chorus emphasizes his loss of self in the girl, repeating the phrase "in you, I know" several times.
The second verse seems to continue the theme of questioning societal values and traditions, with the idea that sex is used to solve problems, and that this can be a spiritual or religious experience that subverts norms even further. The sentiment of "let's do it again" suggests that sexual intimacy will be a repeated act of connection and problem-solving. The chorus is repeated with slight variations but the same melody, emphasizing the singer's lack of desire to be alone even though he knows that he is losing himself in this relationship.
Overall, "Cotton Candy" seems to be a meditation on contemporary romance and physical intimacy. The singer acknowledges the complexity of modern dating practices and their effects on individual identity, but still craves a deep connection with another person. The lyrics are both intimate and abstract, suggesting that the singer is grappling with the emotional and physical implications of a relationship beyond just surface-level attraction.
