Cocoon
Alpines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
didn't I love?
I gave you all you needed,
but was it enough?
Wrap me up in this cocoon
unravelling the truth
All of this time,
I understand why...
more than I think you do,
and I used to
be blinded by you.
Have I been chasing shadows?
Show me the light,
Are we on different pages,
am I reading this right, right?
Wrap me up in this cocoon
unravelling the truth
All of this time,
I understand why...
I want you,
more than I think you do,
and I used to
be blinded by you.
And I was blinded by you,
Wrapped in this cocoon,
And I was blinded by you,
but now I can see through, see through.
I want you,
more than I think you do,
and I used to
be blinded by you.
In Alpines's song "Cocoon", the lyrics seem to be about a relationship that is now over and the singer is reflecting on the past. The lyrics suggest that the singer gave their partner everything they needed and wanted, but questions if it was enough. The line "Wrap me up in this cocoon, unraveling the truth" implies that the singer is trying to understand what went wrong in the relationship and perhaps what they could have done differently. The repeated line "All of this time, I understand why" suggests that the singer has had time to reflect and has gained some clarity on the situation.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's longing for their former partner. They want them back and believe that they want the singer too, despite perhaps being unsure of the other person's feelings. The line "And I used to be blinded by you" suggests that the singer was once unable to see any faults in the relationship or their partner, but has now gained a new perspective.
The final verses of the song suggest that the singer is now able to see through the lies or illusions they were once blinded by in the relationship. They now understand that the relationship was perhaps not as perfect as they once thought and that they need to move on from it.
Overall, "Cocoon" is a melancholic but introspective look at a past relationship, with the singer questioning what went wrong and acknowledging their mistakes.
