Coconut
Kilians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a coconut, I am a coconut,
What you say is way too mean, what you say is way too mean.
You know I love you so, you know I love you so.
So why you're asking me to leave, why you're asking me to leave?

'cause you will never know what you mean to me if you let me go.

I am a coconut, I am a coconut,
What you say is way too mean, what you say is way too mean.
You know I love you so, you know I love you so.
Why you're asking me to leave, why you're asking me to leave?

'cause you will never know what you mean to me if you let me go.

I will stop now, I'll stop now for you, if you carry me home,
If you carry me home, if you carry me home tonight.

You will never know what you mean to me if you let me go.

You will never know what you mean to me if you let me go.

I will stop now, I'll stop now for you, if you carry me home,
If you carry me home, if you carry me home
I will stop now, I'll stop now for you, if you carry me home,
If you carry me home, if you carry me home.





'cause you will never know what you mean to me if you let me go.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kilian's song "Coconut" may seem confusing upon first listen, but they hint at a deep message about love and vulnerability. The repeated phrase "I am a coconut" suggests that the singer feels tough and impenetrable on the outside, but the rest of the lyrics reveal a softer, more emotional core. The lines "what you say is way too mean" and "why you're asking me to leave" imply that the singer is being rejected or pushed away by someone they care about deeply. They plead with this person not to let them go, insisting that they will never know just how much they mean to them if they do.


The final lines of the song propose a solution: "I will stop now, I'll stop now for you, if you carry me home." Here, the singer is offering to put down their guard and be vulnerable with the person they love, as long as that person is willing to support them and be there for them. The repeated refrain reinforces this idea: "you will never know what you mean to me if you let me go." It's a reminder that sometimes, we need to let down our barriers and risk being hurt in order to truly connect with others.
