Lagoon
Jesse Davidson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't see you
The shadow's mine
I know
You can go

Does your mind
Have you
Staring to me right now

It is time
You knew
That I've seen you cry

You can run
I know
You can run
I know

Late at night
I know you're trying to change
I know you're trying to change too much right now
Stay inside
I know you're trying to change
I know you'd like to change too much right now

Oh darling we should make you high
Make it right
Oh darling we should try to set it right
Try to set it right

I know you've done too much to change it all
Much to change it all
And I know it's time to for me to run away'
Me to run away

Late at night
I know you're trying to change
I know you're trying to change too much right now
Stay inside




I know you're trying to change
I know you'd like to change too much right now

Overall Meaning

In Jesse Davidson's song, "Lagoon," the lyrics revolve around the concept of change and the idea of wanting to escape from a relationship. The song exudes a sense of melancholy and longing, as if the singer is looking back on a love that has faded away. The chorus repeats the lines "Late at night, I know you're trying to change, I know you'd like to change too much right now," which could be interpreted in two different ways. Firstly, it could be the singer telling his partner that he knows she wants to change things about herself, but he wants her to stay the same. On the other hand, it could be interpreted as him acknowledging that he's tried to change things about himself due to the relationship but can't anymore.


The introduction, "I don't see you, the shadow's mine, I know, you can go" could signify the singer's detachment from the relationship, as if he's losing sight of his partner and she's slowly fading away from his grasp. The line "Does your mind, have you staring at me right now?" embodies the idea of overthinking and the conscious fear that your partner has given up on you mentally. The ending of the song with the lines, "I know you've done too much to change it all, and I know it's time for me to run away," shows the singer's realization that the relationship is not what it used to be, and it's time for him to move on.

I can’t not describe the sadness I feel knowing most of your music is off of Spotify or off in general. Jesse Davidson your sound will be ingrained into my soul and I will stay infinitely more incomplete not being able to hear your lovely lovely music. The world did you wrong you angelic sweet voice😢
