clump
iamamiwhoami Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never dreamed I'd meet someone like you
Or the one defeat just by the unity of you
But I like you

You see the overall of what we are
Is it a sad, sad sight viewed from afar?
Why don't you call?
Whatever made you into clump like you
The icing cold there leaks out the cracks in you
Makes us as new

Whatever made you seem so very small
Like tiny in real life but large in thought
Who's standing tall?

Cannot wait until I get my hands on you
We can do the things we said we would

You never had a true friend like I
Someone to pick you up when you needed to
Be carried through

If my hands weren't so very sharp
This broken glass that surrounds wherever we are
Wouldn't do us part
Part, oh!

Whatever made you into clump like you
The fiery warmth that leaks out from most of you
Is burning through

Whatever made you seem so very small
Like tiny in real life but large in thought
Come stand up tall

Cannot wait until I get my hands on you
We can do the things we said we would





Cannot wait until I see your smiling faces
And our love will be misunderstood

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are a combination of multiple emotions and thoughts that convey a complex message from iamamiwhoami’s song “clump.” She starts by expressing her disbelief at meeting someone like the person she is singing to. However, the unity of this person makes her feel defeated in the best possible way. She likes this person, and it is suggested that they share a mutual feeling.


iamamiwhoami then mentions their overall image from afar and wonders if it’s a “sad sight.” The next line finds her requesting this person to call her. One can assume that she is feeling insecure about their relationship and would like to hear from them more often.


The following verses are iq-like questions that are trying to understand the person she’s singing to. It’s unclear if they are rhetorical or if she expects the person to answer her. iamamiwhoami then shares that she can’t wait to hold them and do the things they’ve promised each other, followed by a sentence that suggests she wants to be this person’s true friend and carry them when necessary.


The chorus finds the singer identifying something that made the person she is singing to into “clump-like” and “very small.” But, she has noticed that most of them leak out fiery warmth, which is burning through this person, making them stand up tall. The chorus ends with the singer expressing her eagerness to hold this person, do the things they promised each other, and see their smiling faces, even if their love will be misunderstood.


Overall, “clump” is a song with a lot of emotion and suggests a relationship where the singer feels vulnerable but is looking for stability and support. She loves this person she’s singing to, but there’s a hint of insecurity and desire for validation from this person.

Why don't you call?
Why haven't you reached out to us?

What caused you to become the way you are?

Your exterior is cold and distant, but you have a soft spot

Divide us

I am excited to see you happy


And our love will be misunderstood
Our relationship will not be easily understood by others

I just realized that this symbolizes her having sex with us, which ultimately lead to the 9 month "pregnancy" of Kin (she is about to give "birth" to it in the song Kill when her water breaks). She did mention that the reason why she released all of Kin in the span of 9 months is because that was like her baby, her gift to us. That's why in her concerts she had the conception images, the sperm and what not.

Her music is out of this world. She's a genius!

When she closes her eyes, it takes us to "the other world"...

Years later this is still a spine tingling tune, I love it.

I listened to this over and over again. I soaked it up. So unusual and visionary. Not sure if I can talk about like or dislike here, but very interesting in any way. Not many artists show such creativity and innovation. A glimpse of the future. Perhaps the result of what happens when talented people discover a strong source of creativity.

The instrumental end is just epic. This sound much more interesting than ; john did. I'm so glad she's back! Now we're onto 8 more months of wait til a new track unveils.
