Good Morning
Two Door Cinema Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm an alien when I'm myself
I'm a healer, I'm a fixer
I'm a present danger to my health
I'm so strong
Doing what I'm supposed to do
There's something wrong
I've been here before, the warning
It opens up the door
And now I'm falling
Why did I let it go?
Why did I leave myself?
No explanation as to why I'm here and
Not somewhere else
It's reaping what I sow
I think I need some help
I wanna let you in and I'll begin
One for science
One for Krishna
One for luck and one more for the road
I've been trying to find an answer
That I'm certain I will never know
I won't depend on something supernatural
I won't pretend that it's gotta be right for me
I've been here before, the warning
It opens up the door
And now I'm falling
Why did I let it go?
Why did I leave myself?
No explanation as to why I'm here and
Not somewhere else
It's reaping what I sow
I think I need some help
I wanna let you in
Think I already know
It's out of my control
Found no solution but to let the pieces fall where they fall
Even with nothing left, I've got more than you know
I wanna let you in and we'll begin
I over simplify this all the time
Somehow I think that I'm alone
I wake up every day and change my mind
Good morning
I've been here before, the warning
It opens up the door
And now I'm falling
Why did I let it go?
Why did I leave myself?
No explanation as to why I'm here and
Not somewhere else
It's reaping what I sow
I think I need some help
I wanna let you in
Think I already know
It's out of my control
Found no solution but to let the pieces fall where they fall
Even with nothing left, I've got more than you know
I wanna let you in and we'll begin
The lyrics to "Good Morning" by Two Door Cinema Club are a contemplative reflection on the complexities of the singer's identity and sense of self. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges their contradictory nature, describing themselves as both a sinner and a victim, as well as a healer and a danger to their own well-being. Despite this duality, the singer asserts their strength and determination to do what they are "supposed to do," while also acknowledging that "there's something wrong with somebody like me."
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges their struggle to find answers and dependency on supernatural explanations. They also express a desire to let someone in and find support in their journey. The chorus repeats the question of why the singer has found themselves in their current circumstances without explanation, and acknowledges the consequences of their actions as "reaping what I sow." However, despite the challenges, the singer finishes the song with a sense of hope and a willingness to begin again.
Overall, "Good Morning" is a introspective and vulnerable exploration of the singer's struggle with their identity and search for direction and support. The lyrics offer a powerful reminder of the importance of self-reflection, acceptance, and reaching out to others for help when needed.
