Doughboy Pool
Navigating Love's Avalanche: The Pretty Flowers' Doughboy Pool Meaning
Lyrics
I like it when you hang around
I appreciate your presence
You make me feel less low
You elevate my mood
If you asked me to drain the ocean
If you requested an impossible task
I'd do that for you
I would go to great lengths for you
If you'd accept instead
If you preferred something else
A doughboy pool
Suggesting a more modest option like a small pool
Honey, I could drain that too
I'd still be willing to fulfill that request
It wasn't love it was an avalanche
Past emotions were overwhelming, not love
It wasn't love it was circumstance
It was a result of circumstances, not genuine love
It wasn't love it was an avalanche
Similar to line 8, emphasizing the overwhelming nature
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Reiterating that the intense feelings were circumstantial
Doot doo doo, bah bah bah
Non-lexical vocables, possibly indicating a transition or break
You're cutting patterns in your room
You're creating order in your personal space
I'm getting by on being nice
I'm managing to cope by being kind
A little less than feeling used
Experiencing a sense of not being fully utilized or appreciated
A little more than imprecise
More than just vague, with a touch of uncertainty
The greatest of all time
Reference to greatness and the inevitable downside of success
And the tragedy of flight
Highlighting the tragedy associated with achieving goals
This morning's foggy mountain skies
Describing a misty morning in the mountains
A city that's been put on ice
Suggesting a city that has come to a standstill
It wasn't love it was an avalanche
Repetition of the avalanche metaphor and its emotional impact
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Reiteration that intense feelings were due to circumstances
It wasn't love it was an avalanche
Restating the nature of the overwhelming emotions
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Emphasizing that it wasn't genuine love but external factors
Listen to the past as it crashes against your back
Reflecting on the past and its impact on the present
Calling you by name, making sure you heard the news
A metaphorical call from the past, ensuring awareness of current events
Lost in the span of a five minute jam
Feeling lost within a brief musical improvisation
I know you and you thought it could be a scam
Expressing familiarity with someone who doubted sincerity
It wasn't love it was an avalanche
Repeating the avalanche metaphor and its emotional implications
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Reiterating that overwhelming feelings were circumstantial
It wasn't love it was an avalanche
Repetition for emphasis on the nature of intense emotions
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Stressing that it wasn't genuine love but external factors
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Highlighting the impact of circumstances on emotions
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Emphasizing that it wasn't love but external factors
It wasn't love it was circumstance
Reiterating that overwhelming emotions were due to circumstances
