"Bokkie" by Elefant is a song that seems to express the feelings of a young and beautiful person who thrives on the attention and adoration they receive from others. The lyrics suggest that this person is confident and self-centered, valuing their own beauty and not being in love with anyone except themselves. The song talks about this person jumping with their eyes closed and landing on the sun, which could symbolize their carefree and audacious nature. They are also described as playing for the public and making them love them, indicating that they enjoy being in the spotlight and crave the admiration of others. Despite the attention and compliments they receive, the chorus suggests that this person wants to fade away slowly but cannot bring themselves to do so. They choose to stay with someone (the narrator) and seek companionship or support. The narrator, who refers to themselves as "me" or "Bokkie," indicates that they are on an island for two, suggesting a sense of isolation, possibly due to the burden of the other person's narcissism and constant need for attention. Overall, the song seems to explore the themes of vanity, the desire for recognition, and the struggle to maintain a sense of self in a world that places so much importance on external beauty. It reflects on the complexities of relationships and the challenges faced by those who are constantly in the public eye.
