Swarm
Cosmo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were living inside of the light,
it started to fade
We saw the simmering spell in the night
and we followed its way.
Believe yourself surrender to the rain.
The lightning came and low was here again.
We've been laying our lives in the sun
cos its all that we know.
Every moment is making us run
and we followed its flow.
Believe yourself surrender to the rain.
The lightning came and low was here again.
I'll be holding on till you let me go.
You've been looking for secrets to hide
within a pile of bones
You can will it away with the tide
letting go g the low.
Believe yourself surrender to the rain.
The lightning came and low was here again.
Dreaming of the one who will let me go
I'll be holding on till you let me go




I'll be holding on till you let me go
The lightning came and low was here again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of COSMO's song Swarm speak of the confusion and uncertainty that comes with change. At first, the singer and his companions were living comfortably within their lifestyle, represented by the light. But as circumstances shifted, they were forced to abandon their comfort and follow the "simmering spell in the night." They surrendered themselves to the unknown and were met with the chaos of the lightning.


Despite the fear that change brings, the singer recognizes that it is a necessary part of life. He acknowledges that "every moment is making us run," and they must continue to move forward. He urges the listener to believe in themselves and surrender to the rain, or the unknown. Even when they feel like they can't hold on any longer, they must continue to trust the journey and wait for the moment when they can let go.


The final verse tells the story of someone searching for a way to escape their pain and find peace within themselves. They try to suppress their emotions, represented by the pile of bones, but the singer assures them that they can release their pain and let it flow away with the tide. In the end, the song returns to the idea of holding on until it's time to let go, with the lightning serving as a reminder that change is always around the corner.
