Lyrics
I found this girl, same age as me
Speaker found a girl of the same age.
Something 'bout her seemed so sweet
The girl had a charming quality that attracted the speaker.
Thought one day we could both meet
Expressed hope to meet the girl someday.
And not just chat about what's on TV
Desire to engage in deeper conversations beyond discussing TV shows.
Met her brother, when we were a couple
Met the brother of the girl while dating her.
Met two others Before the trouble
Encountered two other people before encountering difficulties.
Those dark clouds seemed to follow us all
A metaphor for ongoing troubles or problems.
Drown my girl and I started to fall
The problems affected the girl and caused emotional distress to the speaker.
And I don't know, oh
Expresses uncertainty or confusion about the situation.
After the suicide, my girl's brother and I
After the suicide of the girl's brother, the speaker and the brother tried to protect themselves emotionally from the problems.
Tried to stay dry from those dark clouds.
Struggling to cope with the continuing difficulties.
Those dark clouds seemed to follow us all
Reiteration of ongoing troubles affecting both the girl and the speaker.
Drown my girl and I started to fall
Emotional distress intensified after the girl faced problems.
And I don't know, oh
Reiteration of confusion or lack of understanding about the situation.
Those dark clouds seemed to follow us all
Continued struggle with persistent difficulties.
Drown my girl and I started to fall
Intensified emotional turmoil after the girl faced problems.
And I don't know, oh
Repeated confusion or lack of understanding about the situation.
Mum thinks that I've been doing my homework
Mother assumes the speaker is doing schoolwork, but the reality is different.
Dad don't know I, I haven't left the house all day
Father is unaware that the speaker hasn't left the house.
We both know that the brother had to go
Suggests mutual knowledge about the brother's departure due to suicide.
Held the knife
The brother held the knife, possibly indicating involvement in his own demise.
I shot and looked into my eyes so we both
The speaker and the brother shared a moment of understanding or recognition.
know oh oh know oh oh
Reiteration of the shared understanding between the speaker and the brother.
