Cavetown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're right, no one's gonna catch us now
Dad has bought a new car now
We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now (okay)
You said something dumb again
She's mad, at least that's what they say
Mom and daddy aren't in love
That's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
We're all dead in Devil Town
That's fine, 'cause nothing's gonna scare us now
We're all in our dressing gowns
Mines white and stripy, yours is green and brown
I forgot my name again
I think that's something worth remembering
Spiders in your favorite shoes
Just leave them because they're more scared of you
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
The song "Devil Town" by Cavetown essentially tells a story of a family living in a town called Devil Town. Despite the rather ominous name, the residents of this town seem to be content with their lives. The song begins with the singer expressing that their life is good in Devil Town, and nobody can stop them from enjoying it. They have a new car, and they feel fine, nothing can catch them.
However, soon we realize that something is amiss. The singer may have said something foolish, and now someone is upset. It seems like there is trouble brewing in the family; the parents aren't in love, and the singer is okay with having two birthday celebrations. That's when the dark truths of Devil Town start to come out. The singer and their loved ones are all dead in Devil Town, and yet strangely, there is no fear. They are all in their dressing gowns, and the singer has forgotten their name yet again.
Even though Devil Town is colder in summertime, the singer still feels somewhat safer when they are with their loved ones. They still get a little nervous about the unknown, but they don't feel as bad, knowing that their loved ones have gone through it too. Essentially, the song is about finding comfort and safety in a place that might be perceived as dark and scary. It's about acceptance, family, and love.
