Twin Peaks
B. Russell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my eyes closed with all my mind
What am I seeking, when life ain't
I'm so afraid of what might
I'm filled with fear it might, might
What it is inside of me
They say that you are the only one
To talk some sense into me
They say that you are the only one
Take away this pain from me
Can you see
Can you see
Tender with my heart, don't play with me
Let's leave this game out, hide and seek
Pick what's yours just leave me be
They say that you are the only one
To talk some sense into me
They say that you are the only one
Take away this pain from me
Can you see
What is this inside me
Is that all there is
Afraid to look behind me
But I will
Time is running out
Not much left here to gain
They say that you are the only one
To talk some sense in meThey say that you are the only one
Take away this pain from me
Can you see
Can you see
Sometimes we rush
Yes we rush too much
Sometimes we rush
Yes we rush too much
You make me chase you
Yes something is wrong
The song "Twin Peaks" by B. Russell has a melancholic and painful theme of seeking for something that seems to be missing in life. The artist feels lost, as if he is sleepwalking through life, and doesn't know what he is seeking. He is filled with fear, and is trying to find a solution to the pain he's feeling. The artist is seeking reassurance that he is not alone in this world and asks the person he addresses directly in the song to help him with his pain, saying that they are the only one who can help him.
The lyric "They say that you are the only one" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the artist's need for help and someone to talk sense into him. He asks the person to be kind with his heart and not to play games with him. He wants them to pick what is theirs and leave him alone. The artist recognizes that time is running out on gaining what he seeks and he is willing to look behind him, even though he is afraid to do so.
Overall, "Twin Peaks" is a heartfelt plea for someone to alleviate the pain that the artist is feeling. It is a reminder of the importance of human connection and a call to action to seek help when in need.
