Immunity
Jon Hopkins; King Creosote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you'd always be fine
And you said you'd never stop
Coming 'round in the dead of night
You said forever was unkind
You've answered my prayer For a worthless diamond in our carbon lives
And you said you'd never stop
Coming 'round in the dead of night
You said forever was unkind~
The song "Immunity" by King Creosote is a powerful and introspective piece that touches on themes of hope, despair, and the search for purpose in a seemingly meaningless world. The opening lines, "You've answered my prayer for a worthless diamond in our carbon lives," speak to a desire for something valuable and transcendent in the midst of the mundane and pointless aspects of daily existence. The singer is expressing gratitude for a glimmer of beauty or meaning that has entered their life, even if it seems small or insignificant.
The next lines, "You said you'd always be fine, and you said you'd never stop coming 'round in the dead of night," suggest a sense of comfort and intimacy between two individuals, perhaps a lover or a close friend. The singer finds solace in this person's presence, especially during dark or difficult times. However, there is also a hint of uncertainty or doubt in the lyrics - the phrase "forever was unkind" implies that the singer is aware of the impermanence and fragility of human relationships, and that even the most stable and dependable connections can ultimately falter or fade away.
Overall, "Immunity" is a vivid and evocative song that captures the complex emotions of longing, gratitude, and fear that accompany the human experience.
Line by Line Meaning
You've answered my prayer
You have fulfilled my request or desire
For a worthless diamond in our carbon lives
For something insignificant in our mundane and ordinary lives
You said you'd always be fine
You expressed confidence and assurance in your well-being and situation
And you said you'd never stop
You promised to persist and endure
Coming 'round in the dead of night
Making unwelcomed visits or unexpected appearances in the late hours
You said forever was unkind
You believed that eternity or a long-lasting future was harsh or unfavorable

“You've answered my prayer for a worthless diamond
In our carbon lives
You said you’d always be fine
And you said you’d never stop
Coming ‘round in the dead of the night
You said forever was unkind”
Love this song so much <3

When I close my eyes listening to this, it feels like I'm floating above a pasture of clouds during sunset.
Truly beautiful.

I am so moved. I don't think I'll ever be the same after listening to this EP. This is so much more than just music. Jon Hopkins, you truly amazing man.♥ I wished more people of my age group were exposed to such stuff. This is so so precious. The music, his voice, everything.
