Marcel
Her's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't tell me I can just pretend
I love you, but there's still a taste
Don't know if you'll always be amazed
Right now
I wanna love you tonight
Why did you have to say goodnight?
I love you but it don't feel right
Nobody seems to really know
This feeling's getting overgrown
Slow down
I wanna love you tonight
The lyrics to "Marcel" by Her's are about the feeling of love and the desire to hold onto it. The singer expresses a desire to ride the wave of love again, to lose themselves in it without pretense. Despite loving their partner, there is an underlying uncertainty about the future and whether their love will always be as awe-inspiring as it currently is. The chorus reveals a deep longing to hold onto the feeling of love for as long as possible, with the singer wanting to take advantage of the moment and love their partner with all their heart.
However, as the song progresses, the chorus shifts and reveals a newfound hesitancy. The singer asks why their partner had to say goodnight and admits that "it don't feel right." Despite their love, the feeling has become overgrown and unwieldy, and nobody seems to have the answers for how to hold onto it. The song ends with a plea to slow down and a desire to love their partner tonight, but the hesitancy still lingers, leaving the outcome of their love in question.
Overall, "Marcel" is a song about the complexities of love and its ability to inspire both awe and hesitation. It reveals the fear of losing a feeling that is uncontrollable, and the longing to hold onto it for as long as possible.

"Originally called David Seaman, the song’s name was changed after a shopping trip to a thrift store where, in a lucky dip basket full of wallets, they found the wallet of a man named Marcel. Made curious by the cheesy 80’s identity pic inside replete with porn star mustache, the group took to the internet to find Marcel was deceased. Though a tribute to its namesake, Marcel, is really a song about love, confusion, and the gamut of emotions and impressions we have to run before we figure someone out."

@@Ruger22cal it’s even sadder to know both band members of hers died in a car crash, including their manger, they need a tribute song themselves.

Can you ever figure someone out? :)

Their voice and actions will forver echo in our minds; no matter how far or near we are from each other. It's merely a reflection of the bonds we all have with each other, of the love that we all wish to submerge in
