The Crown
Twin Caverns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

if it wasn't
it wasn't there
you've come to find it

is it alright
stranger to the crown
near and beside
all the brings you down
it only hurts because you want it to




it only hurts because you want it to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Crown by Twin Caverns are quite evocative and open to interpretation. The lines "if it wasn't there, you've come to find it" might be seen as a commentary on how people often seek out their own pain and problems, even when none are present. This idea is reinforced by the phrase "it only hurts because you want it to," suggesting that the pain and sorrow in someone's life might be self-inflicted, either through a desire for drama or a fear of change.


The phrase "stranger to the crown" is a bit more enigmatic, but might be read as a metaphor for feeling out of place or not living up to one's own expectations. That "all that brings you down" is "near and beside" reinforces the idea of being weighed down by one's own negative emotions and self-doubt. The contrast between the active verb "come to find" and the passive phrase "only hurts" is interesting, suggesting that while the singer may be actively seeking out pain and problems in their life, they are still not in control of their own emotions.


Overall, The Crown is a haunting, introspective song that invites listeners to reflect on the ways in which they might be contributing to their own suffering through their thoughts and actions.
