Tremors
S O H N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago
Tear holes in the fabric of all that we know

Can't survive with the secrets we have
All that we have is a lie
Hold the line
'Til the thread comes undone
If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do

If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do
If you're thinking of letting me go,

Flood lines we etched when we merged into one
Rewind and scroll on before they were done

Can't survive with the secrets we share
If all that we share is a lie
Hold the line
Let the thread come undone
If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do

If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do
If you're thinking of letting me go,

If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do
If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do
If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do
If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do

Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago
Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago
Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago
Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago





That shook long ago,
Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago

Overall Meaning

In "Tremors," S O H N explores the fragility of human relationships and the emotional turmoil caused by secrets and lies. The opening line "Vibrations of tremors that shook long ago" sets the stage for the chaos and disruption that follows. The tremors may refer to past traumas or experiences that continue to haunt the present, and the "tear holes in the fabric of all that we know" may signify the irreversible damage caused by these events.


The singer acknowledges that they "can't survive with the secrets we have" and "all that we have is a lie," suggesting that honesty and transparency are crucial for any relationship to flourish. The repetition of the line "If you're thinking of letting me go then it's time that you do" reinforces the notion that holding on to a doomed relationship can only inflict more pain and suffering. The second verse repeats the same themes, using water imagery ("flood lines") to describe the dissolution of the relationship.


Overall, "Tremors" expresses a deep sense of despair and hopelessness, captured in the haunting vocals and sparse instrumentals. The song's minimalist structure allows the lyrics to take center stage, and S O H N's distinctive falsetto adds an ethereal quality to the proceedings.
