Swan Song
Joydrop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel burned all over
I don't want to talk to you at all
I don't want to think about it
'Cause it hurts me the same way every time
I run through the detail in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe get it right, maybe just hold on
[Chorus]
Feels like the end of summer
Feels like our last goodbye
Feels like we're letting go
And this is our swan song
If you know you don't ask
If you ask you don't know what is up with me
If you cared I think that I would know
I turn a corner slowly, here I am
Still the same, nothing's changed
The difference is I didn't stay
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
And we won't ever know
No we won't ever know
No we won't ever know
No we won't ever know
'Cause this one won't blow over
[Chorus x2]
This is our swan song [x4]
The lyrics of Joydrop's song "Swan Song" suggest a relationship that has reached its end. The first verse mentions the singer's reluctance to talk about the issue that caused the breakup. The line "it hurts me the same way every time" implies that this is not the first time they have had a problem in the relationship. The pre-chorus suggests that both parties wish they could go back and try again, but the damage has already been done.
The chorus describes the feeling of the breakup as the end of summer, which is bittersweet and melancholy. The singer feels like they are letting go of something important, and this is their "swan song," the final act before the end. The second verse seems to be directed towards the partner, saying that if they really cared they would know what is wrong. The singer is resigned to the situation and has moved on, while the partner remains the same. The repetition of "no we won't ever know" emphasizes the finality of the situation.
Overall, "Swan Song" is about the pain of ending a relationship and the impossibility of going back to fix it. The song captures the feeling of an ending, the nostalgia for what was, and the realization that there is no going back.

And this is our swan song
This is the last piece of art that we will create before the end
If you know you don't ask
If you already know the situation, there's no need to inquire
If you ask you don't know what is up with me
If you are questioning me, you obviously don't understand my feelings
If you cared I think that I would know
I believe that if you truly cared about me, I would be aware of it
I turn a corner slowly, here I am
I am taking my time to move on from this situation
Still the same, nothing's changed
I am still the same person and nothing has improved in my life
The difference is I didn't stay
The only change is that I chose not to stick around
And we won't ever know
We will never be able to fully comprehend what had happened
No we won't ever know
We will never receive closure or resolution
No we won't ever know
We are unable to comprehend everything that has occurred
No we won't ever know
We will never know the true outcome of our actions
'Cause this one won't blow over
Because this particular situation will not simply disappear or be forgotten over time
This is our swan song [x4]
This is our final artistic expression before moving on to something else
