Hush
Trills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trust little baby, won't take long
I'll wrap you warmly in my care
Close to my heart I'll keep you there
Hush little baby don't you cry
You know your mama was born to die
You know your life is running out
Walk into the water over your head
I'll bring you down, help you forget
Hush little baby don't you cry
You know your mama was born to die
Come close, come near, I'll rock you my dear
Come close, come near, I'll rock you my dear
Drag you down, drag you down, drag you down
Drag you down, drag you down, drag you down
Come now, come here, the light disappears
Come now, come here, the moment is near
Come now, come here, the light disappears
Come now, come here, the moment is near
Drag you down, drag you down, drag you down
Drag you down, drag you down, drag you down
The lyrics to Trills's song Hush are a haunting lullaby that serves as a warning to a baby about the harsh realities of life. The song begins with a hopeful message about the baby's growth and strength, but the tone quickly darkens with the lyrics "Hush little baby don't you cry, you know your mama was born to die." It seems that the singer is resigned to the idea of death, perhaps even their own, and is preparing the baby for this eventuality.
The repetition of the phrase "Hush little baby don't you cry" serves as a reminder to the baby that crying won't change the outcome of their life, and that they must accept what is to come. The imagery used in the lyrics is also quite powerful, with the singer promising to wrap the baby "warmly in my care" and to keep them close to their heart. However, there is an ominous undertone to this promise, with the phrasing "Close to my heart I'll keep you there" making it seem as though the baby will become a part of the singer in some way.
The verse that begins with "Walk into the water over your head" is particularly striking, with the idea of drowning being used as a metaphor for forgetting the worries of life. The repeated phrase "Drag you down" adds to the feeling of impending doom that permeates the song. Overall, Hush is a powerful song that deals with themes of mortality and acceptance, with a haunting melody that lingers long after the song is over.
