Cocoon
Tommy Ashby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All in the limelight
The silver, the pale white
Reflecting the moon
And the lone dove
The curve of your spine
How it fits into mine
I can be your cocoon
Watching you grow
Watching you grow
You can slow time
With a finger, you are mine
You unpick the fault lines
You stop all the clocks in the room
A slow dance
A shiver, a quick glance
The obvious romance
Waiting to bloom
Watching it grow
Watching it grow, oh
Dear God
I'm so tired
Crank my head
In your arms
I was uninspired
Then you came around
I'm starting to come around
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Still need you
I still need you
I still need you
I still need you
The lyrics in Tommy Ashby's song Cocoon express admiration and love for someone, as the singer describes their physical features as they reflect the moon's light. The lines "the curve of your spine/How it fits into mine" depict the intimacy and closeness between the two individuals. The singer also expresses a desire to protect and provide comfort for this person, as they offer to be their "cocoon." The chorus, "watching you grow," may suggest that the person is going through a personal transformation or change, and the singer is there to witness and support them.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe how the person has the ability to slow down time, and how the simplest things like a slow dance or a shiver can hold such significance in their relationship. The words "you unpick the fault lines" suggest that the person has a gift for identifying and repairing their partner's flaws. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the importance of watching and supporting the person as they continue to grow and evolve.
The bridge of the song shifts the focus of the lyrics towards the singer's own feelings. The lines "I'm so tired...I was uninspired" may suggest that the singer was feeling lost and unfulfilled before meeting this person. However, being in their arms has brought them new inspiration and a desire to continue growing together.
