Gemini
Harlette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no mind of my own
Born interrupted
I've never been alone
Every word echoes
Every tiny little moan
I'm a two-sided mistress
Bound to be a box of bones
Never rolled solo
So how can I miss it?
You know you're always
Welcome home for a visit
You know you'll feel better
After you kiss it
Standing right here darling
You don't have to wish it
Like a gemini, baby
I will never be alone
I'm sitting crossed legged
On my counterfeit throne
Singing to Madonna
On the radio
Like a gemini, baby
I will never be alone
Thought I heard you knocking
On the frame of my bed
Sat up in silence
With your voice in my head
It's gonna linger
Till the day that I'm dead
Like pin pricks and punches
Every word that you said
I think that I'm in trouble
Yeah I'm seeing double
Like a gemini, baby
I will never be alone
I'm sitting crossed legged
On my counterfeit throne
Talking to myself
On a cordless phone
Like a gemini, baby
I will never be alone
Ankles knees and thighs
You're the reason why
I've been duplicated
Lips and teeth and bones
Far from the unknown
I've been duplicated
Ankles knees and thighs
You're the reason why
I've been duplicated
Tongue cheek and throat
You're all I've ever known
And I feel elated
Like a gemini, baby
I will never be alone
I'm sitting crossed legged
On my counterfeit throne
Talking to myself
On a cordless phone
Like a gemini, baby
I will never be alone
The lyrics to Harlette's song "Gemini" portray a complex and somewhat dark perspective on identity and relationships. The opening lines, "Just a twisted sister/Got no mind of my own/Born interrupted/I've never been alone," suggest a feeling of being caught between different personas or identities, lacking a strong sense of self. The singer describes themselves as a "two-sided mistress" who is fated to be fragile, like a "box of bones." This could imply a sense of vulnerability or feeling trapped within their own dual nature.
The song also explores the theme of dependence and longing for connection. The lines, "Never rolled solo/So how can I miss it?/You know you're always/Welcome home for a visit," express a desire for companionship and the belief that they cannot truly experience loneliness because someone is always there. The singer describes finding solace in the presence of others and emphasizes the comforting feeling of being understood and accepted.
The chorus of the song highlights the singer's identification with the sign of Gemini, known for its duality and twin-like nature. It suggests that they will never be alone because they embody the traits of a Gemini. The singer references sitting on a "counterfeit throne" and singing to Madonna, perhaps symbolizing a facade or a persona they adopt to cope with their identity struggles.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that they have been hurt by someone, as they hear their voice in their head and describe the lingering pain caused by their words. They admit to seeing double and feeling troubled, possibly referring to the emotional impact of their past experiences or the confusion of their dual nature.
Overall, "Gemini" dives deep into themes of identity, dependence, and the struggle to find a genuine sense of self within the complexities of relationships.

Mouth parts and skeletal structures
Far from the unknown
Not close to the unfamiliar

You are the only thing I have ever known
And I feel elated
And I feel joyous and thrilled

I am seated with my legs crossed
On my counterfeit throne
On a throne that is not genuine or real
Talking to myself
Engaging in a conversation with myself
On a cordless phone
Using a phone without cords
Like a gemini, baby
Similar to a Gemini, my dear
I will never be alone
I will always have companionship
