Twist In My Sobriety
Abigail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All God's children need traveling shoes.
Drive your problems from here.
All good people read good books.
Now your conscience is clear.
I hear you talk, girl.
Now, your conscience is clear.

In the morning when I wipe my brow; wipe the miles away.
I like to think I can be so willed, and never do what you say.
I'll never hear you, and never do what you say.

Look, my eyes are just holograms.
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands.
From my head, you know, you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.

We just poked a little empty pie.
For the fun that people have at night.
Late at night don't need hostility, the timid smile and pause to free.
I don't care about their different thoughts; different thoughts are good for me.
Up in arms and chaste and whole, all God's children took their toll.

Look, my eyes are just holograms.
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands.
From my head, you know, you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.

Half the people read the papers; read them good and well.
Pretty people, nervous people; people have got to sell.
News you have to sell.

Look, my eyes are just holograms. Look, your love has drawn red from my hands.
From my head, you know, you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.

Look, my eyes are just holograms.
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands.
From my hands, you know, you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.
From my hands, you know, you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.




More than a twist in my sobriety.
More than a twist in my sobriety.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abigail's song Twist in my Sobriety are open to multiple interpretations. One suggestion is that the song is about living authentically, despite societal pressures to conform. Throughout the song, there is a sense of rebellion and an assertion of individualism. The repetition of the line, "now your conscience is clear," can be seen as a challenge to those who have compromised their own beliefs in order to fit in. In contrast, the singer claims to be able to resist outside influence and to remain true to themselves.


The chorus of the song, "you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety," can be interpreted in several ways. It could refer to a relationship that is doomed to fail or to a person's inability to fully commit to anything. However, the idea of sobriety suggests a more profound meaning. Sobriety can be seen as a state of clarity and mindfulness, free from distractions and external influences. In this sense, the twist in the sobriety could be viewed as any external force that threatens to disrupt this state of being. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to stay true to themselves and to resist the pressures of society in order to maintain a sense of inner peace.
