Mathew Lee Cothran of Coma Cinema and Delaney Mills -- alongside a revolving cast of friends and collaborators -- have been taking the monoculture’s obsession with a dystopian world and turning it into their own wry joke in their homespun quarters of South Carolina from the very beginning. Since 2011, EPs and singles built with a bare necessity of instruments and production tools have recorded a memory box of self-healing guitar-pop laced with an Ambien trance. But with Cothran quitting his day job and resettling in Asheville, NC with Mills after the release of 2013’s Holo Pleasures to focus his efforts on their latest full-length on Run for Cover Records New Alhambra, an increased currency in time has resulted in Elvis Depressedly’s most definitive listen yet.

I'm Never Going to Understand
Elvis Depressedly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trembling for forgiveness
Tiny calloused hands
I′m never going to understand

I will love you bunny
As long as i can
I'm never going to understand

Now me and your sickness
Forever hand in hand
I′m never going to understand

I can't love you bunny

Try as hard as i can
I'm never going to understand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Elvis Depressedly's song I'm Never Going to Understand seem to be about a person struggling with a relationship with someone who is sick, perhaps mentally or physically. The repeated line "I'm never going to understand" suggests a sense of helplessness and frustration at not being able to fully comprehend or fix the situation. The opening line "Trembling for forgiveness, tiny calloused hands" could suggest a sense of guilt and the physical toll of trying to make amends. The second verse's "I will love you bunny, as long as I can" could indicate a commitment to caring for the sick person, though the following lines "Now me and your sickness, forever hand in hand, I'm never going to understand" suggests a feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed by the situation. The closing line "I can't love you bunny, try as hard as I can" seems to be a heartbreaking admission of defeat.

Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a sense of emotional turmoil and powerlessness in the face of a difficult situation. The use of animal imagery with the term "bunny" could suggest an innocence or vulnerability in the sick person, and the repetition of the line "I'm never going to understand" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck or unable to find a solution.
