Finding Love and Peace on Planet Earth
The song 'Cutie' by ilyTOMMY is a heartfelt exploration of love, peace, and the simple joys of life. The opening lines, 'Life and death and love and birth / And peace and war on the planet earth,' set a grand stage, juxtaposing the vastness of human experience with the intimate moments of love and connection. The artist questions if anything is more valuable than 'peace and love on the planet earth,' suggesting a deep yearning for harmony and affection in a world often filled with conflict and chaos.
The lyrics then shift to a more personal narrative, where ilyTOMMY describes a scene of watching 'Steven Universe,' a show known for its themes of love, acceptance, and understanding. This reference adds a layer of innocence and nostalgia, emphasizing the artist's desire for a simple, genuine connection. The lines 'I just wanna flirt, I don't wanna get you hurt / I can be a jerk, please don't kick me to the curb' reveal vulnerability and a plea for patience and understanding in a budding relationship.
As the song progresses, ilyTOMMY paints a vivid picture of romantic moments, from holding hands and taking pictures in the sand to sharing favorite bands and intimate kisses. The repeated mention of smiling and the joy it brings highlights the transformative power of love. The artist's declaration, 'Girl, you make me smile, haven't done that in a while,' underscores the profound impact this relationship has on his happiness and well-being. Through 'Cutie,' ilyTOMMY captures the essence of finding solace and joy in love amidst the complexities of life on earth.
