grass
Cubenx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you care
I fall and I let go

My skin goes numb and I float

I feel the grass bellow
Slowly grow
I feel my body far
So far away

Slide down into the mälstrom
My thoughts reflect
Beneath the ancient walls

Breath, hold breath
Let go
Feel the grass bellow
Slowly grow





I feel my body far
So far away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cubenx's song "Grass" delve into the theme of detachment from one's surroundings, as well as the experience of dissociating from one's own body. When the singer says "you care," it could possibly refer to someone who is close to the singer and might be concerned for their well-being. However, the singer then proceeds to say "I fall and I let go," indicating that they have already resigned themselves to a state of surrender or apathy. As the singer falls into a state of numbness, they begin to feel a detachment from the physical world around them, and they become almost weightless, as if they are floating above the grass. This is a reference to depersonalization, where an individual feels as if their body and personality feel separate from themselves.


The imagery of sliding down into the mälstrom implies that the singer is falling further into a state of apathy, which is reflected in their thoughts that are emotionally flat due to their dissociation. The phrase "beneath the ancient walls" could also be a reference to the brain and how it may serve as a barrier or prison to the individual's thoughts and feelings. The refrain "breath, hold breath, let go" could suggest a form of meditation where the singer is attempting to regain control of their physical sensations and become one with their surroundings. In essence, the singer is trying to reintegrate themselves back into reality and overcome the feeling of detachment and dissociation.

Yesterday was sunday, I've take a walk outside, down the streets of Paris, and I couldn't help singing this song ... This morning, I've buy the On Your Own Again vinyl !

Great track. Hugely Pink Floyd influenced, seemingly - when I first heard it I thought it was a track of theirs I'd never come across.
