Nausea
Alohaha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breathless we fall
Caught in the hanging cords, now silent
Grabbed my hand in the nausea
I made a bed out of irony
Lie with me
And my broken bones
Cheek to cheek
In the final blow
I'll lay you down in the quiverying grass
Your leg so frail that you craw after your convictions
My skin beings to pale, in the dark
I grab your hand, in the nausea
I made a bed out of irony
Lie with me
And my broken bones
Deliberating
Cheek to cheek
In the final blow
The lyrics of Alohaha's song "Nausea" touch upon various themes such as love, death, irony, and desperation. At the core of the song is a deep sense of sadness and uncertainty that is conveyed through striking imagery and poignant lyrics.
The first verse, "Our voices joined in a high note, now over/Breathless we fall/Caught in the hanging cords, now silent/Grabbed my hand in the nausea" suggests a moment of intimacy and connection that is both fleeting and painful. The use of words like "breathless," "silent," and "nausea" adds a sense of melancholy to the lyrics, hinting at feelings of disillusionment and loss.
The second verse, "I made a bed out of irony/Lie with me/And my broken bones/Deliberating/Cheek to cheek/In the final blow," further emphasizes the theme of desperation and morbidity.
