SONIC YOUTH

- Tunic Lyrics

[kim]
Dreaming, dreaming of a girl like me
Hey what are you waiting for - feeding, feeding me
I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day
But I look in the mirror - I'm bigger in every way

She said:
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

I'm in heaven now - I can see you richard
Goodbye hollywood, goodbye downey - hello janis
Hello dennis, elvis - and all my brand new friends
I'm so glad you're all here with me, until the very end

Dreaming, dreaming of how it's supposed to be
But now this tunic's spinning - around my arms and knees
I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day
But when I open my mouth to sing - I'm bigger in every way

She said:
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

Hey mom! look I'm up here - I finally made it
I'm playing the drums again too
Don't be sad - the band doesn't sound half bad
And I remember mom, what you said
You said honey - you look so under-fed

[background voices singing various covers]

[kim]
Another green salad, another ice tea
There's a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day
But I look in your eyes - and I'm bigger in every way

She said:
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

Goodbye richard - gotta go now
I'm finally on my own - but dan's got a gig
Keep the love lights glowing - little girl's got the blues
I can still hear momma say: "honey don't let it go to your head"

What is the meaning behind Tunic lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Sonic Youth's 'Tunic (Song For Karen)' is a song that speaks about the state of mind of becoming invisible and diminishing in size, possibly to signify the battle with one's insecurities. Among the allusions to acknowledged people and to the artists' own experiences, the listener may see this as the process of the artist gaining self-acceptance and through this, finding comfort in music and recalling memories. The lyrics of Tunic are all about inspiration, empowerment, hope, love, and contemplation. Meanwhile, the song highlights self-discovery and identity, connection and loss, and dreams and aspirations as the main issues. Personal struggle and reflection are among the most discernible themes present in the lyrics, and thus the song could be considered as requiring parental guidance for kids under the age limit.
