Green Twins
Nick Hakim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every month a little bit bigger
All the things that bothered your soul
Make me smile and go crazy
I wanted to start it with you
But somebody said we ain't ready
I admit inside me lives fear
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
We could've moved to LA
It's always sunny bright out there
If I had it my way
We woulda stayed where we started
I wanted to start it with you
But someone said we ain't ready
I admit inside me lives fear
Fear I never wanted to show you
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
The lyrics to Nick Hakim's song The Green Twins are a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships, the uncertainty of life and the power of fear. The opening lines "I watch life inside of you grow, every month a little bit bigger" suggest a sense of wonder at the life growing inside the person being sung to. The singer seems to be both in awe of and deeply connected to this person, taking pleasure in the little things that "bothered [their] soul". However, the following lines "make me smile and go crazy" show that even though the singer is smitten, they are also deeply affected by the relationship.
The second verse explores the idea of starting something new with this person, but being told that they "ain't ready". The singer admits to feeling fear but never wanting to show it, which suggests a vulnerability in their character as well as an awareness of the potential pitfalls of relationships. The haunting refrain "They will always haunt my dreams, the green twins with your eyes" speaks to the enduring impact this person will have on the singer's life regardless of whether the relationship works out or not.
Overall, the lyrics to The Green Twins suggest a deep sense of longing, a fear of the unknown and a deep reverence for the power of relationships.

We would've remained at our initial starting point if it were up to me
