Morning
The Lagoons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something I want to forget
A certain blade makes me feel
Like a sacrifice to a hungry god
Why are you so perfect as I fall apart
Right before your very eyes?
Am I just the consequence of secret sin?
Please don't leave me here to die
Oh darling, please let me be your obsidian mirror
Of all the ways I've wronged you
This evil burns me to the core
A certain curse I'm aware about
But don't call by name
It's coming after blood
Why do you still love me
When you see my eyes
And catch me staring at my shoes
I know you know, as well as I,
That I'm no good
Still, your love is morning blue
Can you see yourself in my obsidian mirror?
Can you feel the jewel that I've tried to conceal?
Please don't leave me here to die
Please don't leave me here to die
Please don't leave me here to die
I won't leave you here to die
In The Lagoons's song "Morning," the singer is grappling with a feeling of guilt and shame that they can't quite articulate to their partner. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song: "Something I can't tell you / Something I want to forget." The singer is harboring a secret that they can't bring themselves to share, a burden that is causing them to feel like a "sacrifice to a hungry god." Despite feeling like they are falling apart, the singer is still in awe of their partner's perfection and wonders why they are loved even when they are not deserving of it.
