Mold
lunar vacation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw you walk in
By a trailer, but I get tired after a while
It all seems busy
Change your hair to get sponsored and sell your days
I′ll talk, but I'll probably do it later
I′ll take it as a lucky favor
I could be anything you wanted
I'd still be changing with the seasons
I bet you'll never stay up dreaming
Open the door to let the light in
My world is pulsing
I can feel your hand in mine, you move it twice
I′m surrounded by LA
It′s way more than my brain can take
I'm sitting at a picnic table
Consuming something that′s been catered
I could be anything you wanted
I'd still be changing with the seasons
I bet you′ll never stay up dreaming
Open the door to let the light in
I could buy anything you wanted
(I could be anything you wanted)
Tell you about the years they've taken
(I′d still be changing with the seasons)
Can you remember all the faces?
(Open the door to let the sun in)
Are you in love with what you're making?
(Are you in love?)
No one stole the one you wanted
No one stole the one you want
Is it all something that's tainted?
They all swim, but you′re just waiting
The song "Mold" by Lunar Vacation explores themes of personal identity, societal pressures, and the desire for authenticity in a world driven by superficiality. The opening lines depict a scene where the singer observes a person in a trailer park, seemingly caught up in the busyness of life. The line "Change your hair to get sponsored and sell your days" suggests that this person is willing to alter their appearance and conform to societal expectations in order to achieve success or validation.
The chorus reflects a sense of uncertainty and a longing for stability and meaning. The lyric "I could be anything you wanted, I'd still be changing with the seasons" indicates that the singer is willing to adapt and please others, but their true sense of self is constantly in flux. The line "I bet you'll never stay up dreaming, open the door to let the light in" implies a desire for self-discovery and the need to embrace authenticity rather than succumbing to societal expectations.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe the overwhelming nature of the singer's surroundings, specifically referencing Los Angeles. The line "It's way more than my brain can take" suggests that the constant stimulation and pressure of the city is difficult to handle. The scene shifts to a picnic table, where the singer consumes something that has been catered, possibly symbolizing the artificiality and emptiness of their current experience.
The second chorus echoes the longing for stability and a sense of self. The additional lyrics "I could buy anything you wanted, tell you about the years they've taken, can you remember all the faces?" further convey the idea that material possessions and external achievements do not bring lasting fulfillment. The final line "Are you in love with what you're making?" poses a question about whether the person the singer is addressing is truly passionate and fulfilled by their own creations or if they are merely going through the motions.
Overall, "Mold" delves into the conflicts between personal identity, societal pressures, and the desire for genuine connection and purpose in a world that often prioritizes superficiality and conformity.
