On the upbeat “Cocoon”, Holly flips the script of her discography and puts herself in the position of being helped to overcome depression and all the challenges that come with it.
Unlike many singer-songwriters, Humberstone has always written about the people around her, almost never about herself....
[Verse 1]
Are you free tonight to watch The O.C.?
This is protocol
I need you here beside me
I've been paralysed for more than a week
But don't let it scare you
This is fairly routine
[Pre-Chorus]
(Soon, I'll) Break out this cocoon
And take the car out for a drive
We'll play cassettes
Share cigarettes out in the half-light
Maybe, I'll blossom into something you might like
Lie-de-die
Lie-de-die
Lie-de-die
[Chorus]
I'm just going through something
Uh-huh
I'm just going through something
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Are you free tonight to help pass the evening?
We'll drink our body weight
'Til we forget our feelings
I'll be swimming in the pools of your fragrance
When you're in proximity, I'm totally weightless
[Verse 3]
Now I've become a taxidermy version of myself
The laundry's piling up
The plants are dying on the shelf (Ooh-ooh-oh)
You said you'd give me both your kidneys
If I cried for help
Like, Jesus Christ, calm down!
[Pre-Chorus]
(Soon, I'll) Break out this cocoon
And take the car out for the night
We'll play cassettes
Share cigarettes out in the half-light
Maybe, I'll blossom into something twice as bright
Lie-de-die
Lie-de-die
Lie-de-die
[Chorus]
I'm just going through something
Ah-huh
I'm just going through something
Ah-huh
[Post-Chorus]
So don't you keep me on your mind
Another minute more
Don't you keep me on your mind
[Bridge]
Are you free tonight to watch The O.C.?
This is protocol
I need you here beside me
[Chorus]
I'm just going through something
Uh-huh
I'm just going through something
Uh-huh
[Outro]
I'm just going through something
Going through something
Uh-huh

I got off tour and was trying to navigate picking things up at home after being away for so long. It’s really hard getting back home and being jet-lagged, and then that rolling into not wanting to get out of bed [or] face the fact that I’ve returned to normal life. Mental health and feeling depresse...
