Do you remember that song “Golden Hour” that was so popular during 2022? If you didn’t know, that song was made by JVKE. Since then, he has continued to release music, one of which is called, “This is What Space Feels Like”. This post will break down the lyrics that seem to be about the negative side of being famous.
The song starts off with the chorus, which only repeats the lyric, “I just need some space”. This sound is muffled like someone is far away. Maybe that’s his mind, or maybe that's his way of telling his audience that he wants to be far away from all the chaos.
The verses are what really tells the meaning of the song. JVKE sings about how performing feels exciting and how it gives him a high. He loves the screaming of fans, but he also is feeling overwhelmed with it all. He continues with singing about popularity, like being on a billboard, and how people view him as a party animal. These things do not put his mind at ease. The only thing that does is his worship for God. He believes if he works hard, God will be proud, so he ignores the fact that he needs a break from fame.
The chorus continues, and in the second verse, JVKE sings about how being on stage feels like he owns the place. He hopes his fans cannot see the negative effects of feeling pressured and burnt out. Another reason why he cannot take a break is because when he’s on stage, he feels love and memories that are his escape from reality. He mentions having amnesia, and I believe he is saying that being on stage allows him to forget about his issues. He believes he has to keep going because God gifted him his dream.
This song shows how nice it could be to finally live your dream, but it also shows that celebrities are people too, and they need to take care of themselves. JVKE had his big hit in 2022, and he continues to create music for his fans, and I believe this is a learning experience for him to figure out how to live life this way.
