Song Meaning of “Vacationation” by Hooded Fang
Vacationation by Hooded Fang is a bittersweet ode to the revitalizing effect a holiday can have on a stressed out individual. It speaks to the idea that a change of scenery, even just for a day, can have a huge positive effect on one’s outlook. The lyrics arc from a slowly mounting stress and lack of control in the chorus (“Feels like my heart’s about to explode, I feel so powerless and out of control”) to a hopeful chorus (“Go on a vacationation, take a break from the city, don’t worry about the time you take, it’s okay to be free”). The chorus is buoyed by the feel-good twangy guitars and carefree drums.
It’s a reminder to take a step back when life gets overwhelming and to take some time to rebuild a sense of control and sovereignty. We all need to ‘vacationation’ at some time or another, and it’s an important process for achieving a healthy balance in life.
