Twosome
Deep Forest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've gone past my borders
I was so sad, I had no color
I've gone past my borders
I was so sad, I had no color
When I started from "csík"
I still had my color, was not sad
Oh my god what can I do
My mother, oh my heart

If she still would be alive
Oh my god where did you throw me
Oh my god give to me
I've gone past my borders
I was so sad, I had no color
When I started from "csík"
I still had my color, was not sad
Oh my god what can I do
My mother, oh my heart

If she still would be alive
Oh my god where did you throw me
Oh my god give to me
I've gone past my borders
I still had my color, was not sad
Oh my god what can I do
(my borders my borders)
My mother, oh my heart
If she still would be alive
The poor man




Oh my god where did you throw me (my borders my borders)
Oh my god give to me

Overall Meaning

Deep Forest's song "Twosome" is a hauntingly beautiful track that is both deeply personal and universal in its themes. The song talks about the experience of feeling lost and disconnected from oneself and one's surroundings, as if one's spirit has gone past its borders. In the first verse, the singer talks about feeling sad and colorless, as if he has lost touch with his emotions and his sense of self. He contrasts this with an earlier time ("When I started from 'csik'") when he still had his color and was not sad. However, now he feels lost and overwhelmed, crying out to his mother for help.


The second verse is even more poignant, as the singer talks about his mother who has passed away. He longs for her to be alive so that he can ask her for guidance and support. He wonders where she has thrown him, feeling alone and abandoned in a world that seems to be closing in on him. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song ("I've gone past my borders") reinforces the sense of being lost and disconnected, as if the singer is on the edge of something unknown and frightening.
