Cocoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By the meeting of the roads
I just fell to my knees
When I knew I had to make a choice
It's a shame you said
That I may never know
How far I can sometimes go
How far I can sometimes go

While my boat is drifting away
By the shore of Miami Bay
I'm still trying to figure out
the end of what I was
Starting to say

And you found all the footprints
That I left In the lawn
When I spied on you every night
And I wish there was a secret
that you said in your sleep
Just a word that I could keep
Just a word that I could keep

And while my boat is drifting away
By the shore of Miami Bay
I'm still trying to figure out
the end of what I was
Starting to say

And I wish I was a comet
to crash on your feet
Just to be remembered
And I wish I was a comet
to crash at your feet
Just to be remembered

And while my boat is drifting away
By the shore of Miami Bay
I'm still trying to figure out
the end of what I was
Starting to say

Starting to say
Starting to say
Starting to say

Overall Meaning

The song "Comets" by Cocoon is a melancholic love song that reflects the struggle of making choices in life, the desire to be remembered and the longing for a deeper connection with another person. The lyrics begin by describing the singer's predicament at the crossroads of life where he has to make a tough decision. He falls to his knees in despair and laments the fact that he may never know how far he could have gone if he had chosen differently. This creates a sense of regret and a feeling of being stuck in life.


The chorus expresses the singer's yearning to be remembered by his lover. He wishes he was a comet that could crash on her feet, just to be remembered. This gives a glimpse into the depth of his feelings and his desire for a deeper connection that goes beyond the surface level. The second verse talks about his obsession with his lover, how he spied on her every night and left footprints on her lawn. He wishes he could find a secret that she said in her sleep, just a word that he could keep. This reveals the singer's vulnerability and the lengths he would go to get closer to his lover.


Overall, the song is a powerful reflection on love, regret, and the desire for a deeper connection. It evokes a sense of longing and melancholy that is common in many love songs. The use of imagery, such as comets crashing and footprints on the lawn, adds depth and meaning to the lyrics and makes them resonate with the listener.
