Duvchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The waves are way too high
Then they wash away
When you′re sad how come
Your teeth'll fake a smile
Tell me off and say
Because i′m down here lover
See, down here lover
Let it wash away
Come down here lover
Oh, tell me what now
Come on off of the shore
Come down here lover
Come in under my arm, yeah
We'll let everything drown
Come down here lover
Don't you know my name, ah ah
It′s Elysian - uh huh, ah
You don′t know my name - uh ah
You don't know my name - uh uh, ah
It′s Elysian - aah ah
You don't know my name
Ah
See me fading down
Cocoon my head
Never walk away, no
Come back tomorrow
And lose all your cuts
They won′t leave a trace
Because i'm down here lover
See, down here lover
Yeah, yeah
Let it wash away
Come down here lover
Oh, tell me what now
Come on off of the shore
Come down here lover
Come in under my arm, yeah
We′ll let everything drown
Come down here lover
Down here lover
Oh, Tell me what now
Come on off of the shore
Come down here lover
Come in under my arm, yeah
We'll let everything drown
Come down here lover
Don't you know my name, ah ah
It′s Elysian - uh huh, ah
You don′t know my name - uh ah
You don't know my name - nuh uh, ah
It′s Elysian - aah ah
You don't know my name
Come down here lover
Come come here lover
Oh, tell me what now
Come on off of the shore
Come down here lover
Come in under my arm, yeah
We′ll let everything drown
Come down here lover
The lyrics to Duvchi's song "Elysian" seem to be about finding solace and comfort in a certain person, presumably a lover. However, the imagery used is quite interesting, as the person in question is described as being "down here," as if they're in a lower, darker place. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for depression or feelings of sadness and loneliness. The waves being "way too high" could represent overwhelming emotions, but ultimately they wash away when the person is with their lover.
The line "Don't you know my name, it's Elysian" is particularly intriguing, as Elysian is often used to describe a heavenly, idyllic place. It's possible that the person is using this name to create a sort of alter-ego, a persona that represents a better, happier version of themselves. It could also be a way of asking their lover to see them in a new light, as someone who's not defined by their sadness and struggles.
Overall, the lyrics to "Elysian" paint a picture of someone who's seeking comfort and love in a darker, more difficult time in their life. The use of metaphor and imagery adds depth and nuance to the song, making it a powerful exploration of human emotion.
