Cocoon
Embracing Shadows: Exploring the Depths of Heartache in Sarah Mendelsohn's 'Cocoon'
Lyrics
I want to crawl into a cocoon
Desire to retreat and seek solace, symbolized by a cocoon.
Go back to the womb
Expressing a wish to return to a state of innocence and safety, reminiscent of the womb.
Where no one will ask, no one will see
Yearning for a space where there are no inquiries or judgments, a desire for privacy.
Let the darkness cover me
Seeking refuge in darkness, possibly to escape emotional pain or distress.
I’m not trying to forget
Acknowledging the difficulty of forgetting, suggesting a struggle with memories.
But it hurts to remember
Emphasizing the pain associated with remembering certain experiences or events.
Your face, fear in your eyes
Recalling a specific memory of fear in someone's eyes, possibly a traumatic experience.
And I’m helpless
Expressing a feeling of powerlessness in the face of difficult memories or situations.
What about the stories left untold
Mentioning unresolved narratives and unanswered questions from the past.
Answers I’ll never know
Expressing a sense of frustration or sadness about not obtaining certain answers.
A past full of love, a past full of pain
Reflecting on a history filled with both love and pain, a complex and emotional past.
A stoic heart holding on til the end
Describing a resilient heart that endures challenges and holds on until the end.
I’m not trying to forget
Reiterating the difficulty of trying to forget and the pain associated with remembering.
But it hurts to remember
Repeating the theme of remembering with pain, emphasizing a struggle with memories.
Your face, fear in your eyes
Revisiting a specific memory of fear in someone's eyes, reinforcing the emotional impact.
And I’m helpless
Reiterating a sense of helplessness in dealing with challenging memories or experiences.
Could you hear me when I cried
Pondering if one's emotional cries were heard, seeking connection or understanding.
Could you hear me when I whispered goodbye
Raising the question of whether whispered goodbyes were acknowledged, suggesting an emotional farewell.
I’m not trying to forget
Reaffirming the struggle to forget and the pain associated with remembering.
But it hurts to remember
Repeating the motif of remembering with pain, underlining the persistent emotional challenge.
Your face, fear in your eyes
Recalling a specific memory of fear in someone's eyes, emphasizing its lasting impact.
And I’m helpless
Restating a feeling of helplessness in the face of haunting memories or experiences.
