My Darling
SWANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The water’s cold in January
What do you see in the mirror?
I’d like to know what’s coming after.

Every night I die, the choice is not mine
Every night I rewrite the story of my life.
Every night I rewrite the story of my life.

One more trip with you my Darling,
Can’t you see that we are drowning?
Take a last breath my Darling,
We shall always be together.


Every night I die, the choice is not mine




Every night I rewrite the story of my life.
Every night I rewrite the story of my life.

Overall Meaning

SWANN’s song “My Darling” is a powerful and emotional song about the struggles of life, death, and love. The first line of the song, “The water’s cold in January,” is a metaphor for the difficulty of life. It refers to the coldness and harshness of the winter season, which also represents the hardship and struggle we face in life. The next line, “What do you see in the mirror?”, shows the singer questioning themselves and their choices. They are trying to figure out what their future will hold and what lies beyond the current situation.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the struggles the singer faces every night. They die every night and are forced to rewrite the story of their life. This may be interpreted as a metaphor for depression or a difficult life situation. The fact that they have to rewrite their life story every night emphasizes the ongoing struggle and the everyday effort it takes to survive.


The last verse of the song speaks of acceptance of the circumstances. The singer is taking one last trip with their loved one before they both drown. They will always be together, implying that the love they have for each other will transcend death.
