Twin Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Straight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
She said five seconds and you're high
Straight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
Thinking bout the right time
To be mine
Give you a sign
I don't believe in you
You don't believe in me
So how could you make me cry
Five seconds to your heart
Straight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
There's no way to get iron
Five seconds to your heart
Straight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
Five seconds to your heart s
Traight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
She said five seconds in your heart
Straight to the heart
I can't to your heart
You keep loosing on
On a stream
Could you feel
When it comes it sounds like
And when it comes we kiss
When it comes it sounds like
And when it comes we kiss
Five seconds in your heart
Straight to the heart
I can't get to your heart
She said five seconds in your heart
I can't get to your heart
That's no way to get it on
Five seconds in your heart
Straight to the heart I can't to your heart
I'm not trying to make you cry
I don't believe in you
You don't believe in me
So how could you make me cry
That's no way to get it on
I don't know why
But I'm not trying to make you cry
Five seconds in your heart
Straight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
Five seconds in your heart
Straight to the heart
I can't get to your heart
That's no way to get it on I don't know why
But I'm not trying to make you cry
Five seconds in your heart
Straight to your heart
I can't get to your heart
Five seconds in your heart
Straight to the heart
I can't get to your heart
The lyrics of "Five Seconds" by Twin Shadow are all about the struggle to connect with someone emotionally. The song is essentially about someone who is trying to find their way into another person's heart but finding it incredibly difficult. The lyrics reference this difficulty multiple times throughout the song, with lines like "I can't get to your heart" and "That's no way to get it on."
The person singing the song seems to be trying to get the other person to open up and connect with them, but they are met with resistance. The line "You don't believe in me, so how could you make me cry?" perfectly encapsulates the frustration felt by the singer. Despite this, the singer keeps trying, repeating the phrase "five seconds to your heart" multiple times throughout the song. The phrase seems to be both a reference to the amount of time it takes for someone to get high, as well as the amount of time it would take for this person to open up emotionally.
Overall, the song is a powerful, emotional depiction of the struggles of trying to connect with someone on a deeper level.
