He's a Liquid
Gazelle Twin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's an angle
She's a tangent
There's some flowers on the bathroom floor
He's a clicktrack
Now she makes a flashback

He's a liquid
He's a laugh
She's a graph
He wears a sticky white shirt and tie
In those viscous clothes
His watch hand glows

He's a liquid
She's elusive
He's adhesive
He's a trickle down a falling wall
They get married too much
She's a soft touch

He's a liquid

He pulls
She pushed
They read The Bible about the flood
She draws the curtains
'cause now she's certain





He's a liquid

Overall Meaning

In Gazelle Twin's song "He's a Liquid," there's a lot of metaphorical language being used to describe the relationship between two individuals as they navigate through the ups and downs of being together. The opening lines of "He's an angle/She's a tangent" suggest that they both have different viewpoints and approaches to their relationship. The flowers on the bathroom floor could be interpreted as a sign of change or growth in the relationship, but it's uncertain whether it's a good or bad change.


The use of the words "clicktrack" and "flashback" suggest that one of the partners may feel stuck in a routine while the other is reminiscing about happier times. The repeated line "He's a liquid" could symbolize how fluid and ever-changing the relationship feels, never staying the same for too long. The lyrics continue with more contrasts between the two partners, such as "He wears a sticky white shirt and tie" while "She's elusive." This could suggest that one partner is more grounded and consistent with their choices while the other is more unpredictable.


The line "He's a trickle down a falling wall" could represent the slow erosion of their relationship or perhaps a feeling of being overwhelmed. The final lines of the song "He pulls/She pushed" could be a metaphor for the push and pull aspect of their relationship. The mention of The Bible and the flood creates a sense of impending doom or change, and the final line "He's a liquid" reinforces the idea that change is inevitable.
