Twitch and Tug
Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always resist you, most of the time
And I'm just a man slowly losing his mind
To that twitch and tug on the line
Taking me back to when you were mine
Start off in neutral and end up in dumb
Between my finger and my dirty thumb
Every exit I come to and every red stop sign
Got me believing you were mine
Got me believing you were mine
Try to forget you, replace you if I can
Cold sweats and fever, your twisted little plans
And baby I get closer to leaving all the time
But that twitch and tug on the line
Got me believing we've got time
Got me believing we've got time
All worn in and all cashed out
No more moves, no more doubt
You've had your time, I've had my fill
Now your gonna be just another memory
Start off in neutral and end up in dumb
Between my finger and my dirty thumb
Every exit I come to and every red stop sign
Feeling that twitch and tug on the line
Got me believing you were mine
If I didn't have you, I'd steal you all the same
I've no greater enemy and no better friend
So I carry on just burning up my time
‘Cos of that twitch and tug on the line.
‘Cos of that twitch and tug on the line.
Got me believing I've got time
Got me believing iI've got time
In “Twitch and Tug,” Hugo paints a picture of a man trapped in his own wealthy living space, struggling to resist the thought of a past lover. He acknowledges the danger of falling back into old patterns with this person, yet cannot seem to shake the pull that this person has on him. The singer reflects on his feelings of losing control and becoming manipulated through the lyrics (“Got me believing you were mine,” “Got me believing we've got time”).
The metaphor of fishing is weaved throughout the song, underscoring the feeling of being caught in a trap or lure. The singer seems to recognize that he is being played, but also admits that he’s complicit in the game being played. He talks about his attempts to move on from this person, only to feel doubt and uncertainty creep in whenever he sees a red stop sign or arrives at an exit. Ultimately, the singer seems resigned to his fate, burning through time and energy while still holding onto hope.

Pent up in a penthouse of my own design
I feel trapped and isolated even though I designed this luxurious residence for myself
Always resist you, most of the time
I try to resist my feelings for you, but sometimes I can't help myself
And I'm just a man slowly losing his mind
I am struggling with my sanity and my obsession with you is driving me crazy
To that twitch and tug on the line
My desire for you is like a fishing line that keeps pulling me back to you
Taking me back to when you were mine
I can't help but think of the past when we were together
Start off in neutral and end up in dumb
I start off with good intentions, but I always end up doing something stupid when it comes to you
Between my finger and my dirty thumb
I am holding onto something that is both precious and dirty
Every exit I come to and every red stop sign
Every time I try to move on or stop pursuing you, something always pulls me back
Feeling that twitch and tug on the line
I am constantly feeling the pull of my desire for you
Got me believing you were mine
I still believe that we were meant to be together
Try to forget you, replace you if I can
I am trying to move on and find someone new to replace you
Cold sweats and fever, your twisted little plans
I am tormented by the idea that you had sinister intentions and are not who I thought you were
And baby I get closer to leaving all the time
I am making progress in moving on from you, but it's a slow and painful process
But that twitch and tug on the line
My desire for you keeps pulling me back
Got me believing we've got time
I still have hope that we can have a future together
All worn in and all cashed out
I am exhausted and have nothing left to give
No more moves, no more doubt
I am at a point where I can no longer make any decisions and have no doubts left
You've had your time, I've had my fill
We both had our chance to be together, but now it's over
Now your gonna be just another memory
You are no longer a part of my present or future
If I didn't have you, I'd steal you all the same
Even if I didn't have feelings for you, I would still be drawn to you
I've no greater enemy and no better friend
You are my greatest enemy because of how much power you have over me, but you are also my closest friend
So I carry on just burning up my time
I am wasting my time chasing after something that may never be
‘Cos of that twitch and tug on the line.
My unrelenting desire for you keeps pulling me back
Got me believing I've got time
I still believe that there is a chance for us to be together, despite everything
