Mr Twin Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something that I need to say
It's kind of a strange thing,
Just tell me that it's okay
Have you ever felt like
You then always be rolling
That don't matter what you do
You'd always be this high
If you could just greet me
I would make everything right
Inside there's a real me
Because I'm shining away from the light
Don't you believe me?
Are you alright?
Is there even a real me?
Or am I just a series of nights?
Blush
Blush
Now you have my secrets
But you havenยดt said a thing
Show me your darkness, buy my shadow take you here
Have you ever felt like
You would always be alone
That don't matter what you do
You'd always be this high
If you could just greet me
I would make everything right
Inside there's a real me
That's been shining away from the light
Won't you believe me
Are you what I need?
Is there even a real me?
Or am I just a series of nights?
The song "Blush" by Mr Twin Sister is a haunting meditation on the struggle to define one's identity in a world that can't seem to provide clear answers. The lyrics seem to be addressed to someone the singer loves, someone who may be able to provide them with the guidance and support they need to truly understand themselves. The opening lines suggest that the singer is feeling anxious and unsure of themselves, and they are seeking reassurance that they are on the right path. They ask their loved one if they feel the same way, if they too have felt lost and alone in the world.
The chorus of the song is perhaps the most important part of the lyrics, as it encapsulates the central theme of the piece. The line "Inside there's a real me that's been shining away from the light" suggests that the singer is hiding something deep within themselves, a side of themselves that they are afraid to show to the world. They are scared that if they reveal this hidden truth, they will be rejected or misunderstood. The line "Is there even a real me or am I just a series of nights?" further emphasizes this anxiety, suggesting that the singer is unsure whether they even have a true identity, or if they are simply a collection of fleeting experiences and emotions.
Overall, "Blush" is a haunting and melancholic song that speaks to the difficult process of grappling with one's own sense of self. The lyrics are cryptic and poetic, yet they invite the listener to connect with the emotions and experiences they describe in a deeply personal way. The music is atmospheric and dreamlike, with a hypnotic quality that supports the introspective tone of the lyrics.
