Gemini
Knox Fortune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get lost when I′m in your space
Hold my breath when I'm in your embrace
Hold my breath ′til I'm red in the face
Holding my breath 'til you′re making me faint
I′m in love with my old ways
Things I do that I don't plan to change
Going down paths that I shouldn′t take
Getting shook up but I won't shake
′Cause I won't let you break my heart
Won′t let us drift apart
No, I know that you got a second face, oh no
No, I won't let you kill my high
You're such a Gemini, cigarettes and apple pie
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on girl, you make me hot
I don′t want it to stop
Come on, make me cravе it, girl, I know you know
How to build me up to break me down
You know thе run around
Pour me up until I drown like
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You′re a map leading to my grave
Holding my hand like a match in a cave
Pardon my ways 'cause you could relate
Getting my back back when I lacked the strength
We′re compatible most days
But we move backwards when we're out phase
Falling apart in the same old ways
People can talk but they don′t change
'Cause I won′t let you break my heart
Won't let us drift apart
No, I know that you got a second face, oh no
No, I won't let you kill my high
You′re such a Gemini, cigarettes and apple pie
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on girl, you make me hot
I don′t want it to stop
Come on, make me crave it, girl, I know you know
How to build me up to break me down
You know the run around




Pour me up until I drown like
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Knox Fortune's "Gemini" depict a tumultuous but passionate relationship with someone he refers to as a Gemini. The gemini representation could refer to someone who is two-faced, indecisive, or unpredictable. Knox expresses that he gets lost in this person's space and is unable to control his emotions around them, admitting that he is in love with his old ways and too afraid to change, even when he knows he should make better choices. He compares their love to cigarettes and apple pie, sweet but harmful, and suggests that this person can both build him up and break him down, aware of their tendency to play mind games. Despite knowing that this person has a "second face," Knox declares that he won't let them break his heart or drift away from him, showing that he is trapped in a cycle with this person but still hopeful that their love will prevail.


In general, the song alludes to the complexities of love, how it can be consuming, confusing, and even dangerous. It also highlights the challenges of letting go of toxic relationships and the emotional toll it takes on a person. The use of metaphors such as holding my breath, getting shook up, and drowning all adds to the intense and visceral connection Knox has with this person.
