bôa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I have lost it all
And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candlelit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
I am falling, I am failing, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
Oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
I am falling, I am failing, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
In the song "Duvet," Boa expresses deep emotions of pain and disillusionment in a relationship. The first set of lyrics reveals a feeling of betrayal and confusion as Boa sings, "And you don't seem to understand/A shame you seemed an honest man/And all the fears you hold so dear/Will turn to whisper in your ear/And you know what they say might hurt you/And you know that it means so much/And you don't even feel a thing." The song describes a sense of detachment between two people who should be close, with the singer feeling like her emotions and words are falling on deaf ears.
The second verse of the song is a reflection on this disconnect, exposing the idea that even when you think you know someone, their thoughts and actions can still surprise you. Boa sings, "And you don't seem the lying kind/A shame that I can read your mind/And all the things that I read there/Candle-lit smile that we both share/And you know I don't mean to hurt you/But you know that it means so much/And you don't even feel a thing." These words express a feeling of sadness and loss, with the singer recognizing that she is losing her own sense of self and her perspective as she tries to hold onto a relationship that is slipping away from her.
Overall, "Duvet" is a song that delves deep into the complexities and contradictions of relationships. Through its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song captures the pain of feeling like you are losing someone you love but cannot seem to reach or understand.

Luke 11:13 | If you, though you are evil, know how to Give Good gifts to your children, how much more Will GOD in Heaven Give The Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
John 1:11-13 | He Came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him. Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His Name, He Gave the Right to become children of GOD—children Born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but Born of GOD.
John 3:19-21 | "This is the Verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of Light because their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and will not come into it for fear that their deeds be exposed. But whoever lives by the Truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been in the Sight of GOD."
Romans 5:10 | If while GOD’s enemies, we were Reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more will you be Reconciled and Saved through His Life!

First one to apologize is the bravest
First one to forgive is the strongest
First one to forget is the happiest
