Gemini
Kate Brunotts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't wait
On your sign
Out of touch
Gemini
Take a pic never die
Do it all for likes

Save some face
Save some time
Think I'm dying
When I try

But you're not lying
And I'm the guy
I'm the guy
I"m the guy

Talk a lot of trash but it's still cheap
You say you don't spend the money
Unless it's on me

They say I taste like honey
But sting like a bee
Take a moment to breathe
Take a moment to breathe

I still hate
Myself
Higher standards
Above all else
Doesn't do me
Much good
Shoot myself
In the foot

Write a lot of songs
That will never be heard
Not in it for the money
But it's what I deserve

I just try and try
And feel more hurt
Feel more hurt
Bleed to my words

Talk a lot of trash but it's still cheap
You say you don't spend the money
Unless it's on me

They say I taste like honey
But sting like a bee




Take a moment to breathe
Take a moment to breathe

Overall Meaning

The song "Gemini" by Kate Brunotts explores the duality of a person's nature, as symbolized by the zodiac sign of Gemini. The lyrics express the frustration of feeling out of touch and disconnected from oneself, while grappling with the pressure to present a perfect image for social media. The line "Do it all for likes" speaks to the idea of living life for the approval of others, rather than for genuine personal fulfillment.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm the guy" several times, highlighting the struggle to assert one's identity and live up to societal expectations. The verses delve into deeper personal struggles, with lines like "I still hate myself" and "Write a lot of songs that will never be heard" suggesting feelings of inadequacy and creative frustration.


Despite the heavy subject matter, there is a sense of self-awareness and honesty in the lyrics. The repeated advice to "Take a moment to breathe" serves as a reminder to slow down and reconnect with oneself, rather than constantly chasing external validation.

I dig

Stevie Ray Curly Scott

The meaning behind the song (that You shared in the description) is so real! And the connection that the video has with that meaning is deeper than it seems at first glance. The way You have a winter jacket on (implying You're cold) with nothing on underneath (Implying You're hot) is a great way of visualizing that idea of fragmentation between personal-self and digital-self. It also holds a great metaphor, with the jacket being like the cozy-looking identity that we present ourselves as online, to protect us from the inherent coldness of the digital realm, while the bare skin beneath is like our true-self, I really like how complex yet simple this whole song/video is.
And how could I not mention the gummy worms to add a lot of flavourful and colourful fun, and to create even deeper complexities about self-image!

Thank You for bringing attention to this important subject - in a very creative and artistic way too!

I'll be checking out Your album on Spotify,

I Love You Kate! :) <3
