Intwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That the stars don't shine no more now since you're gone
Isn't it strange
That we can't look back and say just what went wrong
Isn't it strange
That you told me one thing suddenly changed your mind
Isn't it strange
I wanna know now where we are
Should I pretend and let things be
I wanna know when what you've done
Could you come face to face with me
Isn't it strange
That the world seems to turn away when I try to explain
What's so strange
That two can be as one and yet not same
I wanna know now where we are
Should I pretend and let things be
I wanna know when what you've done
Could you come face to face with me
'Cause it feels like I'm drowning
Feels like I'm drowning without you
I know the feeling
'Cause I felt this all before
And it feels like I'm dying
Feels like I'm dying now I know the truth
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you're happy
Don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you're happy
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
I hope you're happy
Don't feel just like me
I hope you don't feel just like me
Fuck I hope you feel much worse than me
Maybe not so happy
Not so happy, yeah, not so happy, yeah
Not so happy, welcome to my world
Not so happy, yeah, not so happy, yeah
Not so happy, welcome to my world
The lyrics of Intwine's song Happy explores the strangeness and complexity of romantic relationships that fall apart unexpectedly. The singer in the song grapples with the emotions that arise after a break-up and the confusion of trying to understand where things went wrong. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this confusion, as the singer notes that since their partner has left, "the stars don't shine no more." This image captures the way that an intense emotional experience can fundamentally alter one's perception of the world.
Further along in the song, the singer explains their attempts to grapple with what happened between them and their partner. They feel as though they were left behind, and that they cannot make sense of why their partner stopped loving them. They ask their partner to come face to face with them, to help them understand what happened between them. The repetition of the lines "I hope you don't feel just like me" and "I hope you're happy" serves to highlight the difficult emotions that the singer is experiencing. They express frustration that their former partner may be happy while they are struggling with the aftermath of the break-up.
Overall, Intwine's song Happy is a powerful exploration of the difficulty of romantic relationships, and the complex emotions that arise after a break-up. The singer's confusion and pain are evident throughout the song, as they grapple with their emotions and try to make sense of what happened.
