POOL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rip me apart
Tear me to shreds
Same old routine
Until i'm dead
Until I'm dead
Until I'm dead
Until I'm dead
Take what you see, darling

Say what you mean
I won't come home to you

Until I'm clean
Blegh

In POOL's song "Cleansing," the lyrics depict a sense of frustration and weariness with a repetitive and monotonous existence. The opening lines, "Rip me apart, Tear me to shreds," express a desire to break free from the mundane and predictable routine of life. The repeated phrase "Until I'm dead" further emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in this cycle until the end.

As the song progresses, the lyrics touch upon the theme of communication and authenticity. The line "Take what you see, darling, Say what you mean" suggests a longing for genuine and honest interactions. It implies a desire to be seen for who they truly are, without any pretense or falsehood. The following line, "I won't come home to you, Until I'm clean," indicates that the singer feels they cannot fully engage in a relationship until they have cleansed themselves from the burden of their current circumstances.

Overall, "Cleansing" conveys a sense of longing for liberation from a repetitive and unfulfilling routine, as well as a desire for genuine connections and self-improvement.
