Turpentine
Lillix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My days will go by and I'm all alone
It's over my head, I don't know what to do
You're fragile, in repair all of them say
But I don't know how to sew the wounds away
When will they fade?
It's out of my hands, can you hear me cry?
Don't you stare, I'm aware.
And you're not the one to say.
You're the same, built for shame
And I'm not that far away.
Far away...
Infinate, yet limited , you take my mind, so complex
I'll understand all in good time.
I'm poisoned again, it's like turpentine.
Don't you stare, I'm aware
And you're not the one to say
You're the same, built for shame
And I'm not that far away...
Away...
And I'm not that, and I'm not that, and I'm not that far away
No, I'm not that, and I'm not that, No, I'm not that far away...
Away...
Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere...
And I'm not that far away.
Don't you stare, I'm aware... And you're not that far away...
Away...
Lillix's song Turpentine speaks about feelings of loneliness, isolation, and being unable to fit in. The opening lines "Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere, My days will go by and I'm all alone, It's over my head, I don't know what to do" illustrate the singer's struggle with understanding themselves and their place in the world. The imagery of being "over my head" is particularly poignant and relatable, indicating that the singer is in over their head and doesn't know what to do.
The lyrics then switch over to focus on another person, who is "fragile, in repair" and injured. The singer states that they don't know how to "sew the wounds away" and wonders when they will heal. The line "It's out of my hands, can you hear me cry?" shows a sense of powerlessness and helplessness in the situation.
The lyrics then circle back to the theme of the singer feeling alone and distant from others. The lines "You're the same, built for shame, and I'm not that far away" highlight the idea that others are also struggling and experiencing shame, and the singer is not alone in that experience. The song ends on a note of hopefulness, with the singer repeating "And I'm not that far away" to remind themselves that they are not completely isolated and there is a possibility for connection with others.
