Song Meaning of “Totally Tot” by Lebanon Hanover
“Totally Tot” by Lebanon Hanover tells the story of a young person who is so lost in themselves and their emotions that they can’t seem to find their way out. The lyrics describe a person who is dealing with darkness, like “a black line on the ground leading the way,” and stuck in a state of mental agony. The narrator desperately pleads with the person to find a way to break free from these feelings, to “get totally tot.”
The song speaks to the difficult experiences of darkness that so many of us face in life, and conveys the idea that even if we don’t always know the way, there is always a way out. Through imagery of reaching for a light and letting in the brightness of life, it conveys the idea that ultimately, it is up to us to find our own way out in life. By reminding us that we have the power and courage to take the necessary steps to find our own way, “Totally Tot” empowers us to break free of our own mental anguish and live life to its fullest.
