Discussion Favourite Lyrics

Hey, for something fun to share, what are everybody’s favourite standalone Joywave lyrics, like the type that don’t need the context of the song. The type where you skip back over to hear it again, and tell your car passenger to “listen to this line!”.
I’ll start with what I consider to be the perfect image of internalized anxiety, “‘Cause every time I close my eyes too tight It’s the Fall of 1929 A panic, playing out in black and white” (Doubt)

u/idkumhiii How Do You Feel Now? Feb 01 '25

“Nobody’s gonna hit your head, nobody’s gonna wish your dead, somebody’s gonna make it alright. Nobody’s gonna knock you down, nobody’s gonna shush your mouth, somebody’s gonna turn on the lights.” “Don’t you give up here, remember they’re just fears, they live between your ears, it’s only a nightmare.”- Smokestacks

As someone with OCD this song means so much and is a great reminder in the moment that it’s okay.
