Cocoon
Liquid Divine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happened to your glassy soul?
You and me... we're all alone
What happened to this sorry world?
Soon we'll all be gone...
Listen to me while I sleep,
Talk to me while I'm not here,
Tell me of your hidden fears
Dirty white flags I give in,
Velvet blue sheeps on the screen
Plastic girls and narrow men,
At sunrise we'll be sad again
What happened to your fragile heart?
Us and them... we freeze
What happened to this soft warm place?
I hope you'll rest in peace
You've told me of tomorrow,
I'm in the mood for suizide
You make plans for everything,
Don't you know, we've failed?
Dirty white flags I give in,
Velvet blue sheeps on the screen
Plastic girls and narrow men,
At sunrise we'll be sad again
The lyrics of "Cocoon" by Liquid Divine discuss the state of the world and of humanity, revealing a sense of despair and hopelessness. The song talks about feeling alone and isolated in a world that seems to have lost its way. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, asking what happened to our souls and the world we live in, suggesting that it has all gone awry. The second stanza implores the listener to talk to the vocalist while they're sleeping, asking to be informed of the hidden fears they might be carrying.
The chorus then repeats itself, lamenting over the loss of the soft and warm place that used to exist. The final stanza speaks of being told of a better tomorrow, but feeling the urge to end everything anyway, highlighting the powerlessness we can feel in the face of looming despair. The bridge of the song parallels the opening stanza, lamenting the falseness of life, represented by the white flags we wave in defeat, the blue screens we stare at, the plasticity of people, and ultimately the futility of our lives. Overall, "Cocoon" expresses a sense of disillusionment and disconnection with our world and ourselves, questioning the ultimate destination of humanity.
Line by Line Meaning
What happened to your glassy soul?
What has caused your spirit to lose its shine and become dull?
You and me... we're all alone
We are the only ones here and it feels lonely
What happened to this sorry world?
What has brought the world to this miserable state?
Soon we'll all be gone...
Our existence is temporary and will come to an end
Listen to me while I sleep,
Pay attention to me even when I am unconscious
Stalk right through my dreams
Enter my dreams without invitation
Talk to me while I'm not here,
Communicate with me when I am elsewhere
Tell me of your hidden fears
Confess your innermost worries to me
Dirty white flags I give in,
I surrender and accept defeat
Velvet blue sheeps on the screen
Images of perfect lives and illusionary worlds on the display
Plastic girls and narrow men,
People appearing fake and superficial
At sunrise we'll be sad again
We will fall back into despair and misery when the day begins
What happened to your fragile heart?
What has caused your heart to become vulnerable and weak?
Us and them... we freeze
We are unable to connect and remain cold to one another
What happened to this soft warm place?
What has led to this once caring and hospitable place to become cold and unwelcoming?
I hope you'll rest in peace
I wish for you to find tranquility in the afterlife
You've told me of tomorrow,
You have shared your hopes and plans for the future with me
I'm in the mood for suizide
I feel like ending my life
You make plans for everything,
You have everything figured out and planned
Don't you know, we've failed?
Aren't you aware that all of our efforts have been in vain and we have failed?
Dirty white flags I give in,
I surrender and give up hope
Velvet blue sheeps on the screen
The false narratives and images on media and screens
Plastic girls and narrow men,
Shallow and fake people
At sunrise we'll be sad again
Another day will bring sadness and disappointment
