Quicker
I Blame Coco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the place and you can place me anywhere.
We're on our way.
We're on our way away from here.
But if we don't stop now, instead of living in this old horse town.
I want it back in again.
Let it devour my skin, but we won't start now.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
I am afraid, afraid of losing time.
You are the race and I'll be racing your mind.
But if we don't stop now, instead of living in this old horse town.
I want you back in again.
Let it devour my skin, but we won't start now.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
So hold me as I hold you.
Hold me 'til I drown.
Well, you could be faster and fast becomes the sound.
If you could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If you could only be faster, then you could outsmart time.
If we could only be quicker and be quick to be kind.
If we could only be faster, then we could outsmart time.
So hold me as I hold you.
Hold me to the ground.
The song "Quicker" by I Blame Coco is a reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the desire to make the most of it. The first verse sets up a contrast between the singer, who feels like a "waste," and the person she is addressing, who is a "place" and can "place me anywhere." Together, they are on their way "away from here," but the singer is worried that if they don't act quickly, they will be stuck in an "old horse town" and lose the momentum they have built. She wants to be devoured by whatever comes her way and fully embrace life, but she acknowledges that they are not ready to take that step just yet.
The chorus repeats the idea that if they could only be quicker and more kind, and outsmart time, they could make the most of their lives. The second verse introduces a new motif: the singer's fear of losing time. She sees her partner as a competitor in an imagined "race" and is afraid of falling behind. Again, they are hesitant to take risks and fully embrace life, but the desire to do so is palpable. The final part of the song is a plea to the partner to hold the singer and not let her drown, and a final repetition of the chorus.
Overall, the song paints a picture of two people who are aware of the preciousness of time but still struggling to fully embrace life and take risks. It is a reflection on the delicate balance between caution and recklessness, and the importance of kindness and quick thinking.

She is not the typical girly beauty. She has character.

Just saw her live this Friday at Pianos in NYC. Her recordings don't do her justice. She kills it live. One of the most original sounds I have heard live in a long time. Going back Friday to see her again and I will see ever show I hear of her playing from now on.

@the yeetus I'm all for people making up their own minds. and if I was eliot or cocco or vaal I imagine as well and think at this stage in their evolution they would not care what any of these people say in regard to identity or call them. Seems they know and have transcended..
funny as a 64 year old white guy even I get it at this point.
