Cosmo
Bex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say I'm like a dog
Cause I like to be outside
If you were an animal
You'd be on the roadside

I love you like a friend
But can I love at all
My hearts an empty well
Drop a pebble hear it echo, echo, e

Everything's cool
It's getting dark outside
Won't you call me when you're home
So I know you didn't die

Cosmo
Cosmo
Cosmo
Cosmo

Put it all out
On the table for me
Show me what you've got
And what you wanna be

I love you like a friend
I love you like a pal
I love you like a person
That I'd like to be around

Cosmo

Overall Meaning

In Bex's song "Cosmo," the lyrics depict a complex relationship between two people. The first verse suggests that one person finds comfort in being outside and compared to a dog, while the other person is depicted as being on the "roadside" - possibly a reference to being transient or unsettled. The second verse reveals that the first person is unsure of their ability to love, while the second person is described as someone they love like a friend, pal, and someone they want to be around.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the name "Cosmo" four times, could be interpreted in a couple of ways. It could be the name of one of the people in the relationship or a reference to the cosmos, which could represent the vastness and complexity of the emotional terrain in the relationship.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that the relationship is complicated and possibly unfulfilling or uncertain, with both people having their own struggles with love and connection.
