Two Appear
Knightstown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two appear
I must be strong
In the beacon light
You turned in your sleep
You try to unlearn
You told me that you're coming home
And I fear that you aren't all
What you seem
Another someone
You took too long
Two appear
Why must you wrong?
And I fear that you aren't strong
Breaking even
Now you're someone
You took too long
Two appear
I must be strong
In a year I might move on
Will there be
That other someone?
You took too long
Two appear
Why must you wrong?
And I fear that you aren't strong
Breaking even
Now you're someone
The lyrics to Knightstown's song "Two Appear" seem to be about waiting for someone who has promised to return home. The first stanza sets the scene for a long wait, with the singer pacing in a "beacon light" while the other person sleeps. In the second stanza, the singer expresses fear that the returning person might not be trustworthy or might not be who they seem to be. The third stanza hints at the possibility of a breakup and moving on in the future, and wonders if there might be someone else waiting in the wings.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but there seems to be an undercurrent of emotional vulnerability and uncertainty throughout the song. The singer is waiting for someone they care about, but they are also wary of being hurt or let down. The repeated refrain of "You took too long / Two appear" suggests impatience and frustration with the other person, but also a reluctance to give up hope entirely.
Overall, "Two Appear" is a poignant and evocative song about waiting, uncertainty, and the difficulties of trusting in relationships.
