Trampoline (feat. ZAYN)

The song 'Trampoline' by Shaed, featuring ZAYN, is a hauntingly beautiful track that delves into the complex emotions of fear, love, and the surreal experiences within dreams. The lyrics describe vivid dreams where the protagonist is jumping on a trampoline, floating in the air, and experiencing both exhilarating and terrifying moments. The imagery of being on fire and dreaming of dying juxtaposed with the feeling of being deeply in love suggests a paradoxical relationship between fear and euphoria.

The repeated lines 'Wait if I'm on fire, How am I so deep in love? When I dream of dying, I never feel so loved' evoke a sense of wonder and confusion. It's as if the intensity of the dreams and the proximity to danger or death heighten the protagonist's feelings of love and being loved. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for taking risks in life or love, where the fear of getting hurt is overshadowed by the profound connection and affection one feels.

The song's dreamlike quality is enhanced by its ethereal production and the interplay between the vocals and the music. The contrast between the lightness of the trampoline and the heaviness of the solid block of gold or the crushing weight of paradise adds to the song's exploration of dichotomies. 'Trampoline' invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love and fear, and how these emotions can sometimes be inexplicably linked, leading to a deeper appreciation of life's complexities.
