Wonder
Soap&Skin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or see
Who cuts us asunder
Like a boor falling a tree
You're the thunder
Going under
Over me
Don't forget to pray
To keep it away
Away from every day
Where you wonder
Why we can't be
Why we can't be
Or see
Who cuts us asunder
Like a boor falling a tree
You're the thunder
Going under
Over me
Don't forget to pray
To keep it away
Away from every day
Where you wonder
Why we can't be
Or see
Who cuts us asunder
Like a boor falling a tree
You're the thunder
Going under
Over me
Don't forget to pray
To keep it away
Away from every day
Where you wonder
The lyrics to "Wonder" by Soap&Skin are somewhat cryptic, but they seem to evoke a sense of confusion and heartbreak in a relationship. The singer wonders why they can't be together, or even see each other, and suggests that there is something or someone cutting them apart like a lumberjack felling a tree. This force is described as "thunder" that is going under over the singer, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for something overwhelming and powerful that is weighing them down.
The chorus urges the listener to "pray" to keep this force at bay, away from their everyday life where they constantly wonder why they aren't able to be together. The repetition of the lines "why we can't be" and "who cuts us asunder" underscores the singer's confusion and desperation, while the mention of prayer suggests that they are searching for some kind of spiritual or emotional solace to help them through their pain.

this wonderful song came to me some two years ago by RadioEins Berlin. It is still absolutely amazing and full of wonders and absolutely gorgeous. One of the few very best songs ever heard.
