Caldera
Huron John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this dream that I know isn't true
I'm thinking 'bout the pleasure building (Thinking of you)
And it seems that you notice it too
How could you be so devastating?
How could you be so indigo?
How could you be so devastating?How could you be?
I'll never know
Why would I run away when I'm with myself all day?
I could die entertained and keep complaining to you
What if I never change - you'd wish me back your way?
When I dry in the rain I will see you
I'm thinking 'bout the pressure building
In this dream that I know isn't true
I'm thinking 'bout the pleasure building (Thinking of you)
And it seems that you notice it too
How could you be so devastating?
How could you be so indigo?
How could you be so devastating?
How could you be?
I'll never know
Make me the only one
(in my view)
Make me the only one
I'm thinking 'bout the pressure building (thinking of you)
In this dream that I know isn't true
I'm thinking 'bout the pleasure building And it seems that you notice it too
(What was never there)
I'm thinking 'bout the pressure building
The lyrics to Huron John's song "CALDERA" delve into the internal struggle of the singer as they grapple with conflicting emotions and desires. The opening lines hint at a sense of pressure building within the singer's mind, possibly alluding to inner turmoil or conflicting thoughts that are not based in reality. This pressure is contrasted with the pleasure that the singer feels building up, particularly when they think about someone else, indicating a sense of longing or desire for connection.
The repeated questioning of "How could you be so devastating? How could you be so indigo?" suggests a sense of bewilderment and confusion towards the other person, questioning their impact and essence. The singer seems to be grappling with the intensity of their feelings, unable to comprehend the depth of emotions evoked by this individual. The repeated refrain of "I'll never know" reflects a sense of resignation and acceptance of the unknowable aspects of human connection and emotion.
The following verses explore themes of self-awareness and introspection. The singer muses on the idea of running away from themselves, seeking distraction or entertainment, but ultimately facing the reality of their inner thoughts and feelings. There is a sense of resignation in the idea of never changing, and the longing for the other person's presence even in moments of discomfort or pain, symbolized by "When I dry in the rain I will see you."
The closing lines bring the song full circle, with the singer once again reflecting on the pressure building within their thoughts. The repetition of the imagery of pressure and pleasure, as well as the desire to be seen as the "only one," conveys a sense of yearning for validation or connection. The final lines, questioning what was never truly there, hint at disillusionment or a realization of the illusory nature of certain relationships or desires. Overall, the lyrics of "CALDERA" evoke a complex emotional landscape, exploring themes of longing, introspection, and the complexities of human connection.
