Twin Peaks
Russell Alice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my eyes closed with all my mind
What am I seeking, when life ain't
I'm so afraid of what might
I'm filled with fear it might, might
What it is inside of me
They say that you are the only one
To talk some sense into me
They say that you are the only one
Take away this pain from me
Can you see
Can you see
Tender with my heart, don't play with me
Let's leave this game out, hide and seek
Pick what's yours just leave me be
They say that you are the only one
To talk some sense into me
They say that you are the only one
Take away this pain from me
Can you see
What is this inside me
Is that all there is
Afraid to look behind me
But I will
Time is running out
Not much left here to gain
They say that you are the only one
To talk some sense in meThey say that you are the only one
Take away this pain from me
Can you see
Can you see
Sometimes we rush
Yes we rush too much
Sometimes we rush
Yes we rush too much
You make me chase you
Yes something is wrong
The lyrics of the song Twin Peaks by Russell Alice describe a person who is lost and confused, seeking guidance and direction in life. They feel like they are sleepwalking through life with their eyes closed, unsure of what they are seeking or what is inside of them. The person is filled with fear and anxiety about what might happen and is desperately seeking someone to talk sense into them and take away their pain. They implore this person to be tender with their heart and not play games with them.
The chorus repeats the idea that this person is the only one who can help them, to talk sense into them and take away their pain. However, there is a sense of urgency as time is running out and there isn't much left to gain. The person is afraid of what they might discover if they look behind them, but they know they need to do it anyway. The lyrics end with a repetition of the chorus and a sense that something is wrong, that they are rushing too much and that the person they are seeking is making them chase them.
Overall, the song has a sense of desperation and uncertainty about life, with a focus on seeking guidance and direction from another person. It conveys a feeling of being lost but also a determination to keep seeking answers.
