Zephyr
Twin Bandit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're always walking out the door
How many times we run away, a thousand matches in your hand?
How many bridges we've burned?
Under another cover, behind another door,
Between your fingers and your feet
All the dirt from all your ways
Wash it off, dust it away
throw it to the zephyr
throw it to the wind
throw it to the zephyr
throw it to the wind
All your talk of love and gratitude,
Your common cool, it graddged me in
and I saw fire when you cut me loose
I wanted you to feel that burn
Under another cover, behind another door
Between your fingers and your feet
All the dirt from all your ways
Wash it off, dust it away
Lift it off, throw it to the zephyr
throw it to the zephyr
throw it to the wind
throw it to the zephyr
throw it to the wind
throw it to the zephyr
throw it to the wind
But through the hallways of your mind
I saw a face I recognized
I thought I saw you as myself
The lyrics of Twin Bandit's song Zephyr seem to be about a complicated relationship that has left the singer with feelings of regret and bitterness. The opening line "You're a pile of broken hands, heavy heads, and fierce regret" creates an image of someone who is burdened by the weight of their mistakes and their inability to move on from them. The next line "You're always walking out the door" suggests that this person is constantly running away from their problems and their feelings.
The chorus of the song encourages this person to let go of their past and move on. The line "All the dirt from all your ways, wash it off, dust it away, lift it off, throw it to the zephyr" is a call to action, urging the person to let go of their regrets and leave them behind in the wind. The repetition of "throw it to the zephyr, throw it to the wind" reinforces this idea of letting go and moving on.
The second verse suggests that the singer had their own issues within the relationship, feeling trapped by the other person's "common cool" and seeing "fire" when they were finally cut loose. However, the final lines of the song suggest that the singer may have seen themselves in the other person all along, reinforcing the idea that we are all capable of making mistakes and moving on from them.
Overall, "Zephyr" seems to be a song about the complicated nature of relationships and the struggle to let go of the past and move forward.

Tirant des grandes étendues glacées de leur pays natal la source de compositions mélancoliques évoquant les joies d'un nouvel amour, ou les cicatrices laissées par celui / celle qui s'en va, Hannah Walker et Jamie Elliott, alias Twin Bandit, allument un feu de cheminée aux reflets délavés de couleurs folk, que le premier album (For You, 29/06) du duo de Vancouver alimente d'arpèges délicats et de voix suaves, en bande son idéale des matins d'hiver, un vieux chien et un thé noir à portée de main.
