Drown
Twin Caverns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lover don't you dare hide
Come over, figure me out
Scream & shout
Your water come wine I drown
I am held back by hands I grow
Too lucky to tell the truth
Too blind to know
Islands only to depart
They're drowning in their own blood
Hey do I terrify?
Close your curtains so we can hold
Ourselves on the line
Let it lie
On this ghost of a heart untold
It is cold but I do not mind
Too blind to know
Islands only do depart
They're drowning in their own blood
Pick you up, tear you apart
Stitch me up with your honour
Islands only do depart
Stare me down
I spit you out
The lyrics of Twin Cavern's song, Drown, contain themes of love and the uncertainty that often accompanies it. The singer tells their lover to slow down and not hide, asking them to come over and figure out their feelings. The line "Your water come wine I drown" is particularly interesting, as it could be interpreted as the intoxicating effect the lover has on the singer.
However, the second verse takes a darker turn as the singer describes "Islands only to depart / They're drowning in their own blood." This could be interpreted in various ways, but it seems to suggest that relationships can sometimes turn toxic and destructive. Despite this, the singer is almost willfully ignorant, saying that they are "too blind to know." The ending of the song is cryptic, with the singer describing themselves as both picking up and tearing apart their lover, while in the same breath asking to be stitched up with their honor. It seems like a complicated relationship that is both intoxicating and damaging.
