Saint Lucia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me drown
I don't want
To have any of it
Flow my cloud
On the ground
I don't want
We could run, all you want
We could talk
Like you never knew it
'Cause there was never anyone to talk to you
Like you ever knew it
But you don't mind
You don't mind
Where you want it, do ya?
And you can talk loud
You can talk loud
if you know you want it
I just want you to remember
Before you get carried away
What happened just this September
If you know you want it, baby
Hold your head up
Reach for the sun
Reaching for the sun
Reaching for the sun, you know it
I just want you to remember
Before you get carried away
What happened just this September
if you know you want it, baby
Yeah, I just want you to remember
Before you get carried away
What happened just this September
If you know you want it, baby
Saint Lucia's song "September" appears to be a warning about getting too caught up in the moment and forgetting what has happened in the past. The first two lines, "Hold me down, let me drown," suggest that the singer feels overwhelmed and unable to cope with something, and they want to surrender to whatever it is.
The next lines, "Flow my cloud, on the ground," seem to suggest that the singer's emotions are running wild and uncontrollably, like a cloud that has fallen to the ground. The singer doesn't want to deal with any of it, suggesting they are tired of feeling this way and want to let go.
The chorus talks about how the singer and another person could run away and avoid the problem, pretending like nothing ever happened. But the lines "there was never anyone to talk to you like you ever knew it" suggest that perhaps the singer has been avoiding talking about the issue for a long time, and it has built up to this point. Despite this, the other person doesn't seem to mind and is able to talk about it loudly without being affected.
The last verse is a call to action for the other person to remember what happened in September, suggesting that it was a significant event that they shouldn't forget. The lines "hold your head up, reach for the sun, reaching for the sun, you know it" may suggest that the other person needs to stay positive and move forward, rather than getting lost in negative emotions.
Overall, the song seems to be a warning to the other person not to forget what happened and to stay grounded, rather than getting carried away with emotions and pretending like everything is okay.
