Fog
NAKHANE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It runs through me
Decades and it all seems
She's been crying herself to sleep
She cries, she goes ooh
A devil I know will try
To starve me
Try not to please him
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
I've got it, I've got it all, we go
In the song "Fog" by Nakhane Toure, the singer is expressing their emotional turmoil and the impact it has had on them. The lyrics "I've got this fog, it runs through me, decades and it all seems" suggest a feeling of being lost and trapped in one's own thoughts and emotions. The use of the word "decades" implies that this fog has been with the singer for a long time and has been difficult to shake off. The next line reveals that this fog is a result of someone else's pain - "she's been crying herself to sleep". It could be the singer's pain caused by the suffering of someone close to them or the pain caused by some traumatic experience.
The line "A devil I know will try to starve me" could be referring to an inner demon. The singer may feel like they are under attack from their own negative thoughts and feelings. The reference to "vengeance" that is not theirs suggests that there may be someone or something outside of themselves that is causing harm. The line "try not to please him" hints at the singer's attempt to not let their inner demons control them.
Overall, the lyrics to "Fog" are quite poetic and open to interpretation. The song could be about the struggle of dealing with emotional pain, the feeling of being trapped, or the attempt to overcome one's internal struggles.
