Morning
Somegirl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her black hair entwined with mine
I can feel her breathing
Above me beneath me her eyes are so deceiving
They tell me they want me
She'll hurt me in the morning
She's ruthless
I'm useless
I can't escape this feeling
This tension
It's tightening
It suffocates my reason
I don't know who I am
How I survived this beating
The strong me
She's left me for the secret light of morning
My innocence was of a child
So I can't stop from bleeding
And my trust was abounding
That was my mistake
And I thought heaven was burnt into blackness
Burnt into the background when we left
My ocean so quiet it echoes it resonates within me
It tells me to leave here eradicate these boundaries
My fire is much deeper than ever they've imagined
It burns far more brightly than the perfect light of morning
My innocence was of a child
So I can't stop from bleeding
And my trust was abounding
That was my mistake
And I thought heaven was burnt into blackness
Burnt into the background when we left
I'm running in circles no longer
I'll get myself together
It can't hurt
I'm stronger
The frequency is fading
The blood flow is slowing
It's thicker than this feeling
I'll find it
It's not far the lovely light of morning
The song "Morning" by Somegirl is a hauntingly beautiful dive into the complexities of a toxic relationship. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, describing the singer's lover as simultaneously lovely and frightening in the early morning. The intimacy between the two is palpable, with their entwined hair and shared breath. However, there is a sense of danger and manipulation present, as the lover's eyes betray their true intentions. The singer knows they will be hurt come morning but succumbs anyway, unable to resist the pull of this toxic dynamic.
In the second stanza, the singer reflects on their own sense of helplessness and uselessness in the face of this relationship. The tension and suffocating feeling is overwhelming, blurring their sense of identity and reason. The repeated reference to their innocence and trust being taken advantage of contributes to the sense of betrayal and loss. The final lines of the stanza reveal that the lover has left the singer, but not for good: the "secret light of morning" implies they will return again and again to repeat this pattern of hurt.
The final stanza offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer resolving to leave these boundaries behind and find their own strength. They recognize that the toxicity of this relationship cannot be erased completely - evidenced by the continued bleeding - but they can move forward and find their own version of light. The reference to "heaven burnt into blackness" suggests a loss of faith or belief in something, adding another layer of complexity to the emotional journey of the song.
Overall, "Morning" offers a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the complexity of toxic relationships, with insightful lyrics that capture the emotional toll of such dynamics.
Line by Line Meaning
She's never more lovely or frightening than early in the morning
In the early morning, she is at her most beautiful and scary
Her black hair entwined with mine
Our hair is interwoven
I can feel her breathing
I feel her breath on me
Above me beneath me her eyes are so deceiving
Her eyes are tricky even when she is above or below me
They tell me they want me
Her eyes communicate a desire to be with me
She'll hurt me in the morning
I know she will harm me when the morning comes
She's ruthless
She is cruel and unmerciful
It's senseless
It does not make sense
I'm useless
I am without value
I can't escape this feeling
I cannot evade this sensation
This tension
This stress
It's tightening
It is becoming more intense
It suffocates my reason
It smothers my sensibility
I don't know who I am
I am unsure of my own identity
How I survived this beating
I am surprised I made it through this ordeal
The strong me
The resilient version of myself
She's left me for the secret light of morning
She has departed for the concealed illumination of morning
My innocence was of a child
I was naive like a kid
So I can't stop from bleeding
So I cannot prevent myself from bleeding
And my trust was abounding
And I had complete reliance
That was my mistake
That was my error
And I thought heaven was burnt into blackness
I believed paradise was consumed by darkness
Burnt into the background when we left
Vanished in the distance after we departed
My ocean so quiet it echoes it resonates within me
My still waters reverberate inside of me
It tells me to leave here eradicate these boundaries
It urges me to go away and get rid of these restrictions
My fire is much deeper than ever they've imagined
My passion is much more profound than they could have envisioned
It burns far more brightly than the perfect light of morning
It shines much brighter than the flawless morning light
I'm running in circles no longer
I am not running in circles any more
I'll get myself together
I will improve myself
It can't hurt
It cannot harm me
I'm stronger
I am more resilient
The frequency is fading
The vibe is disappearing
The blood flow is slowing
The blood is clotting
It's thicker than this feeling
It is denser than this sensation
I'll find it
I will locate it
It's not far the lovely light of morning
The gorgeous morning light is nearby
