Twice
Reflecting Fragility: Unraveling the Deep Layers of Little Dragon's 'Twice'
Lyrics
Twice I turn my back on you
Expressing the act of turning away from someone twice.
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Despite facing failure, the speaker did not give up.
Tell me where would I go
Pondering where one would go after turning away.
Tell me what led you on I'd love to know
Curiosity about the reasons that influenced the other person's actions.
Was it the blue night
Referencing a period of emotional vulnerability, possibly sadness.
Gone fragile?
Questioning if the vulnerability was due to a particular night.
Was it both men
Speculating on the impact of two individuals on the speaker's state of mind.
In wonder steady gone under?
Wondering if both men played a role in the emotional descent.
Was it the light ways
Considering whether certain ways of light were intimidating.
So frightening?
Questioning if the fear stemmed from the light ways.
Was it two wills?
Reflecting on the possibility of conflicting wills.
One mirror holding us dearer now
Describing a mirror as a symbol of closeness between two individuals.
I thought I had an answer once
Recalling a time when the speaker believed they had a solution.
But your random ways swept me along
Being swept away by the unpredictable actions of the other person.
Colossal signs so I got lost
Feeling lost due to significant signs or events.
With so many lovers singing soft
Experiencing confusion amidst the presence of many lovers.
Was it the blue night
Reiterating the association of vulnerability with a blue night.
Gone fragile?
Questioning if the fragility is linked to the blue night.
Was it both men
Referencing two men and their impact on wonder and vulnerability.
In wonder steady gone under?
Wondering if both men played a role in the emotional descent.
Was it the light ways
Questioning whether certain ways of light were intimidating.
So frightening?
Asking if the fear is associated with specific light ways.
Was it two wills?
Reflecting on the possibility of conflicting wills.
One mirror holding us dearer now
Emphasizing the closeness between two individuals through a mirror.
