Swell
Lunar Vacation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turning heads
And break their necks
Through folded arms and
Faces wet

It drags for long
Inside the car
The rain remains but
The feeling's gone

The feeling's gone

Choosing the words so carefully
What's he gonna think of me?
The night is cold
They lean in close
What I would give to forget for a while

Its not that bad, it's a common thing
To confuse what you want with what you think you need?




Its not that bad, it's a common thing
To confuse what you want with what you think you need?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lunar Vacation's song "Swell" offer a glimpse into the complexities of human emotions and the impact of our decisions on relationships. "Turning heads and break their necks, through folded arms and faces wet" suggests the confusion and tension that can arise between two people, as they struggle to communicate and connect. The mention of "folded arms" and "wet faces" suggests a sense of vulnerability and discomfort, while "breaking necks" highlights the tension and strain in the situation.


As the song progresses, we hear how "The rain remains but the feeling's gone". This line could represent the turmoil that can come with a relationship that has lost its spark, where the passion has faded away. Despite the outward appearance of rain and other such inclement weather, there is an inner vacancy that cannot be filled. The second verse then deepens this perspective as it discusses the introspection that can come with a relationship that is not succeeding. The lyrics "Choosing the words so carefully, what's he gonna think of me?" suggest that the relationship may be fragile and that communication may be difficult.


Overall, "Swell" presents a poignant tale of relationships from its high moments to its valleys, depicting every aspect of it.


Line by Line Meaning

Turning heads
Attracting attention


And break their necks
Causing others to turn their heads quickly


Through folded arms and
Despite people crossing their arms


Faces wet
While their faces are wet, probably due to the rain


It drags for long
Time is moving slowly


Inside the car
While driving in a car


The rain remains but
Despite the rain not stopping


The feeling's gone
The emotional connection is lost


Choosing the words so carefully
Picking words very thoughtfully


What's he gonna think of me?
Wondering what another person's opinion might be


The night is cold
The temperature is low


They lean in close
Getting closer to the other person


What I would give to forget for a while
Wishing to forget about something for some time


Its not that bad, it's a common thing
It is normal to feel this way


To confuse what you want with what you think you need?
To be unclear about one's needs and wants

This tastes like sweet strawberry milkshake in a summer time. Calming the heat.

I love it.
