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
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
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
The song "Duvet" by Bôa showcases a feeling of loss and desperation. The first verse refers to a man who may have seemed honest, but there are fears that he holds near and dear to his heart that will soon turn into whispers in his ear. The lyrics here suggest that while this man may seem honorable and truthful, deeper insecurities are present. The phrase "you know what they say might hurt you" is particularly telling, alluding to an understanding that the truth can be painful.
In the second verse, the singer refers to herself and her ability to read the mind of the man previously mentioned. The candle-lit smiles they share suggest a romantic interest or a deep connection between them. The lyrics "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" show the singer's desperation for a connection with someone who may not feel as deeply as she does.
The chorus is repeated twice and emphasizes the singer's feelings of falling, fading, drowning, and hurting. The final plea for help in breathing and losing it all seems to encapsulate a desire for some sort of resolution, whether it be through the resolution of the relationship represented in the song or some other form of closure. Overall, the lyrics show a raw authenticity in their portrayal of emotion and the pain of loss.
