Softer Cell
You Love Her Coz She's Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the greenery holding onto me
A noise for meaning
An empty shell
A tired heart leaving
A softer cell
Under the sea
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
Under the sea
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
Woke up found myself another dream
And all the people staring down at me
A noise for meaning
An empty shell
A tired heart leaving
A softer cell
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
Hijack the darkness and never close the eyes
Unknown maneuvers when you turn out the lights
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
Hijack the darkness and never close the eyes
Unknown maneuvers when you turn out the lights
I hung around for you
A noise for meaning
An empty shell
A tired heart leaving
A softer cell
Under the sea
I hung around for you
A softer cell
Under the sea
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
Hijack the darkness and never close the eyes
Unknown maneuvers when you turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
I hung around for you
I hung around for you
A softer cell
I hung around for you
"Softer Cell" by You Love Her Coz She's Dead is a song with lyrics that navigate a dreamlike state and the emotions tied to it. The opening line, "Woke up found myself under the sea," suggests a feeling of being submerged, out of touch with reality, and perhaps overwhelmed. The mention of "greenery holding onto me" evokes a sense of entrapment or being caught up in something that is confining.
The repetition of the lines "A noise for meaning, an empty shell" and "A tired heart leaving, a softer cell" suggests a struggle between searching for purpose and feeling emotionally drained. The phrase "a softer cell" could be interpreted as a metaphorical prison, hinting at the desire for a more gentle or tranquil existence.
As the song progresses, the lyrics depict a change in dreams. The line "Woke up found myself another dream" implies a shift in perception or experience. The presence of "people staring down at me" adds a sense of observation or judgment, indicating a potential feeling of vulnerability or scrutiny.
The repetition of "hijack the darkness and never close the eyes" suggests a refusal to succumb to fear or uncertainty, embracing the unknown instead. The line "unknown maneuvers when you turn out the lights" could signify a willingness to explore uncharted territory and take risks despite the potential consequences.
Overall, "Softer Cell" captures the complex emotions and internal struggles associated with dreams and the longing for a softer, more meaningful existence.
