Twist In My Sobriety
Joanne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All God's children need traveling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk, girl
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think that I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night, don't need hostility
Timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety

Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Joanne's song Twist In My Sobriety carry a spiritual meaning, suggesting that everyone needs some form of resilience in their lives to cope with adversity. The lines "All God's children need traveling shoes, drive your problems from here" can be interpreted as an invitation to leave behind emotional baggage and move forward in life. The second line "All good people read good books, now your conscience is clear" reinforces this concept, suggesting that reading can enlighten us to a higher purpose, and the fact that one's conscience is clear indicates that this clear-sightedness can be freeing.


The singer in the song then talks about wiping their brow in the morning and removing the miles from their face. They express a desire to be determined and confident, able to resist the pressures of others and follow their own path. The lines "I like to think that I can be so willed, and never do what you say, I'll never hear you and never do what you say" strongly convey this sense of self-determination.


The final lines of the song "Look, your love has drawn red from my hands, from my hands you know you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety" portray an intense and resentful conclusion that suggests a failed relationship. The singer admits, through a metaphorical twist, that this person will never be more than a memory - perhaps even less, insignificant, and trivial. The perpetual refrain of "twist in my sobriety" aptly expresses the complexity and confusion of emotional turmoil.
