I Can't
Dune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm still in control of my own emotions
and I'm still in control of my own body
But when the lights turn way down low
I can't promise that I won't let go
Cause I'm still urging for you
Yeah I'm still urging for you

I am in control of my own mind
And I am in control of my own feelings
But when the darkness comes tumbling in
I can't promise that I won't give in
Cause I'm still urging for you
Yeah I'm still urging for you

As I stumbled upon your skull
Then I traveled through time
And it's pouring rain!

If we could spend some time alone this year
And watch the sun drown
Like some enfant in the pool

I've got my bathtub ready
Let me sink down and sleep
To the beat of your heart

Let me take another sip of your open vein
Let me shiver to your touch
You clearly know how to restrain
But when the moon is the only light
I assure you I will be alright
Cause I'm still urging for you
Yeah I'm still urging for you

I'm crazy for you,
yeah and I'm bleeding inside
But this village has turned against us

I wanna tell you how I feel when there is
No one else in this room
But these lights are pulling me through

It's in moments like these,
That I feel alive
When the summer turned gray.

I've got my bathtub ready




Let me sink down and sleep
To the beat of your heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Duñe's song "I Can't" depict a sense of longing and desire for someone.

There is a yearning for a deep connection with the individual mentioned throughout the song. The artist describes stumbling upon their skull and traveling through time, emphasizing the intensity of their emotions. Despite the emotional turmoil, the artist finds solace in the idea of spending time alone and watching the sun drown, symbolizing a cathartic release. The bathtub becomes a metaphorical sanctuary, where they can sink down, sleep, and sync with the beat of the person's heart. The lyrics express a sense of desperation, as the artist begs for another sip of the person's essence, acknowledging their restraint but assuring that they will be alright when the moon is their only light. The song concludes by expressing a deep connection and a feeling of being alive, even amidst a gray summer.

I have prepared my bathtub for a specific purpose

Allow me to submerge and rest


To the beat of your heart
Accompanied by the rhythm of your heartbeat

42 yrs old now and this still gives me goosebumps.Reminds me of my teenage years.I can't even begin to count how many times I listened to this track when I was yet again madly in love with some girl.Daydreaming and flying away on these lovely tunes.The nineties were such a wonderful time to grow up in.Such good music we had back than.

@amandaburke1808
