Break the Bed
Odds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well its my shield, and its my shroud
At home on the range, but alone in the crowd
I plug my ears when it gets too loud, yah
So get that kinky noise out on the stage
With your spinnin curls in a purple rage
The sun in our eyes, and a burning sage
Could it be? Yah it could be
Could it be? That youre for me, yah
Im lookin right to your head
And talkin to you seems to wake the dead
But right now you just said
I think were gonna break the bed
Hands in the air and knees on the ground
Dont be suprised if I fall around
We were over the water, when the plane went went
I was over my head and you let me drown
Could it be? Yah it could be
Could it be? That youre for me, yah
Im lookin right to your head
And talkin to you seems to wake the dead
But right now you just said
I think were gonna break the bed
Im lookin right to your head
And talkin to you seems to wake the dead
But right now you just said
I think were gonna break the bed
I think were gonna break the bed
The lyrics of Odds' song "Break the Bed" explore the themes of loneliness, passion, and potential intimacy. In the first verse, the singer describes living under a "giant cloud," which serves both as a protective shield and an isolating shroud. The singer also suggests a tendency to retreat from overwhelming stimuli, such as plugging their ears when things get too loud. However, they're drawn to the passion and energy of performers who can "spin curls in a purple rage" on stage.
The second verse shifts to a more intense tone, with the singer describing a potential physical connection with someone. The imagery of "hands in the air and knees on the ground" suggests a sense of abandon and surrender. However, there's also a sense of danger and risk, represented by the metaphor of drowning. Despite this, the singer seems ready to embrace the passion and connection they feel with this person, even if it means "breaking the bed" in the process.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a mix of vulnerability and desire, with the singer seeking a sense of connection even as they struggle with loneliness and isolation.
