Never writing happy music for happy people to draw more happiness from, because they obviously have that covered. Only to write relatable songs about real feelings, and blog posts to fill in some fuzziness between the sometimes abstract imagery of lyrics sung. No advice offered, only shared experience of problems and how they almost always begin and end within. A solution for myself and those like souls who identify with depression, defeat, and degradation. No need to be heard, read or followed by any number, but just to be stated honestly, without ulterior motives. I will tell my story in all of its beauty and all of it's ugly.

French Kiss
rich people Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've hardly found myself by the shore this year
Too much time indoors
So I'll stay here

And leave what holds our feet
Up here on the boardwalk
I'll write a song that's happy

I've hardly found myself by the shore this year
Too much time indoors
So I'll stay here

Let's find a place to place our things
Watch the white wash and feel the cool breeze That it brings
Open eyes and I start to reminisce
Young summers long before the sex
Or even just a French kiss

I've hardly found myself by the shore this year
Too much time indoors
So I'll stay here

And let the sun take my pale skin
As I breathe you in

I'm warm, I'm comfortable
And I fit in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to French Kiss by Rich People’s Song describe the longing for the beach and the desire for simplicity and happiness. The opening verse sets the stage with the singer admitting that they have not spent enough time by the shore this year, and that they have been cooped up indoors too much. The chorus of the song repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the feeling of being disconnected from nature and the outdoors. The second verse paints a picture of the singer at the beach, watching the waves and feeling the cool breeze. They reminisce about summers past, remembering a time before the complications of adult life and the pressures of sexuality. Finally, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer basking in the sun and feeling comfortable and happy.

I've hardly found myself by the shore this year
I haven't spent much time at the beach this year.

Too much time indoors
I've spent too much time inside.

So I'll stay here
I'll stay at the beach.

And leave what holds our feet
I'll leave my shoes on the boardwalk.

Up here on the boardwalk
On this part of the beach.

I'll write a song that's happy
I'll write a cheerful song about my time at the beach.

Let's find a place to place our things
Let's find a spot to put our stuff.
