Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my own skin
Breath out, breath in
Thinking of your eyes
Promises you gave
Promises you gave
We're doomed, not saved
Now cut to commercial
Just cut to commercial
What the hell am I s'posed to do
Choose a world over you
I'm afraid I'm just too small
I think I'd be no use at all
Word's out so how
You're the sweetest cure
I never got to tell you
Lost in the tide of sex and death
Of sex and death
Your hair, your hair
I want you again
Don't wanna be your friend
I wanna be a door
Not a voyeur
Now cut to commercial
Just cut to commercial
What the hell am I s'posed to be
Choose a world over me
Sitting pretty in my mess
On the phone I can't confess
Word's out so how
You're the sweetest cure
I never got to tell you
Word's out so how
You're the sweetest cure
I never got to tell you
My doll, pure hearts
Turn the tables and
Push it out and watch me slowly break
Sweetest cure
I never got to taste
Sweetest cure
I'll never taste
The lyrics to Hugo's song Sweetest Cure seem to describe the inner turmoil of a person who is struggling to find their place in the world and in their relationships. The opening line expresses a desire to find peace within their own skin, indicating a sense of discomfort or unease with themselves. The repeated phrases "breath out, breath in" suggest a focus on mindfulness and finding calm in the present moment.
The next lines seem to allude to a past relationship, with the singer thinking of the promises that were made and feeling a sense of doom or hopelessness about their current situation. The line "Now cut to commercial, just cut to commercial" could be interpreted as a desire to escape from the emotions and memories that are overwhelming them.
The chorus expresses the singer's dilemma of having to choose between their personal desires and the expectations of the world around them. They feel too small and insignificant to make a difference, and are plagued by uncertainty and fear. The "sweetest cure" is presented as something that they have missed out on, something that could have brought them happiness or healing.
The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer wanting more from their relationship than just friendship, but feeling restricted by their own insecurities and fears. They feel trapped in their own mess and unable to express their true feelings. The repeated phrase "word's out so how" seems to suggest a sense of helplessness or resignation.
The final lines introduce the idea of "doll, pure hearts" and a dramatic shift in tone, with the singer seeming to anticipate a moment of intense emotional release or breakdown. The final repetition of "sweetest cure" underscores the sense of longing and regret that permeates the song.
