Sushi
Cocoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning, I'll go down the graveyard
To make sure you're gone for good
To make sure you won't hurt again
May you rest in peace

Pony riding, sushi cooking
Oh, may you be where you wanted
Oh, we talked about it
After one or two beers

And the worst days that life brings
All the bad movies, and all the earthquakes
All the worst days are just buried
Into the snow

Holy water, plastic flowers
In the end you got what you were
Always running after
Always running after

And the worst days that life brings
All the bad movies, and all the earthquakes
All the worst days are just buried
Into the snow

And the worst days that life brings
All the bad movies, and all the earthquakes
All the worst days are just buried
Into the snow

And the worst days that life brings
All the bad movies, and all the earthquakes
All the worst days are just buried
Into the snow

All the worst days are just buried
Into the snow
All the worst days are just buried
Into the snow

The lyrics "Horseback riding, sushi preparation" feels to be specific to the individual being mourned, who must have enjoyed these things.


As the song progresses, the singer seems to reflect on the inevitability of life's struggles and hardships. They sing "And the worst days that life brings / All the bad movies, and all the earthquakes / All the worst days are just buried / Into the snow." These lyrics suggest that even though life is full of difficult moments, they eventually pass and are buried in the past, like the snow covering the grave. The line "Holy water, plastic flowers" may refer to the traditional practice of leaving flowers and religious symbols at gravesites.
