Pomegranate
deadmau5 & The Neptunes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah
Sparkle for me
Sparkle for me
Sparkle for me

It's shining like three seeds of pomegranates in my hands
It's just us that's on this beach and all this sand
All of this water
I know but damn
I know we ain't supposed to touch it
We only live once ma'am (sparkle for me)
You said give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Then said take it, take it, take it
I said did we do this really?
Shouldn't we have waited? Waited?
You're making faces, probably so am I
We're in the ocean
Waves are rolling in your eyes

Pulse is high, the heartbeats
We're being called to the other side, girl
Lost in the vibe, we can't sleep
Our clothes off
Feels so good inside, girl
(Sparkle for me)

It's been oh, so long
Since we've been away from home (sparkle for me)
All the fucks, every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this shit wrong (sparkle for me)
It's been oh, so long
Since we've been away from home (sparkle for me)
All the fucks, every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this shit wrong (sparkle for me)

What's the reason why we should do this tonight?
Spend the night, spend the night
Spend the night, spend the night (sparkle for me)
So much you won't see without open eyes
'Cause closed eyes, is closed sight
And closed mind, is closed vibe (sparkle for me)
Yeah, new feelings it's bringing in
What's this tone I'm singing in? (Sparkle for me)
Your eyes are twinkling
My limbs are tingling (sparkle for me)
You are my synonym
You're my best friend in the world (sparkle for me)
All this adrenaline (yeah, yeah)
Melting like M&M's

Pulse is high, the heartbeats
We're being called to the other side, girl
Lost in the vibe, we can't sleep
Our clothes off
Feels so good inside, girl

It's been oh, so long
Since we've been away from home (sparkle for me)
All the fucks, every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this shit wrong (sparkle for me)
It's been oh, so long
Since we've been away from home (sparkle for me)
All the fucks, every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this shit wrong (sparkle for me)

Sparkle for me
Sparkle for me




Sparkle for me
Sparkle for me

Overall Meaning

The song "Pomegranate" by Deadmau5 and The Neptunes describes a moment between two individuals on a beach. The imagery of pomegranates represents the beauty and rarity of the moment as they shine like three seeds in the singer's hand. The lyrics suggest that the two individuals are breaking societal and moral norms by being together, and they are fully aware of it. They question their own actions, wondering if they should have waited or if what they're doing is wrong. Despite this self-doubt, the sensation of being lost in the moment and the feeling of being free from societal constraints is described as "blissful."


The steady beat and uplifting melody of "Pomegranate" contrasts with the introspective and vulnerable lyrics. The repeated plea to "sparkle for me" serves as a reminder to fully embrace the moment and to shine as brightly as possible. The chorus is filled with ambiguous and dreamlike imagery, suggesting that the two individuals have truly lost themselves in their passion.
