Cocoon Lyrics

[Intro]
Eh-ah, eh-ah, eh-ah, eh-oh
Eh-ah, eh-ah, oh
Eh-ah, eh-ah, eh-ah, eh-oh
Eh-ah, eh-ah, oh

[Verse 1]
I know that you must feel like facing
With ruin, facing with ruin
I messed it up as always, I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid of losing
I made you thinking oh so wrong
I made you feeling the worst
And I don't know how to get along
With myself when I'm weakened
When I'm weakened

[Chorus]
So let's go back to our cocoon
On the blackened afternoon
I see your heart is bleeding too
Let me bleed instead of you
So let's go back to our cocoon
On the blackened afternoon
I see your heart is bleeding too
Let me bleed instead of you
Let me bleed, let me bleed
Eh-ah, eh-ah
Let me bleed, let me bleed
Eh-ah, eh-ah
Instead of you

[Verse 2]
I've been always playing
Solid as I'm waving, solid as I'm waving
So I became a liar, I've been underrating
Overestimated
I made it really hard for you
Hard for you to love me
But there's so many things we could do
And all we need is escaping, escaping

[Chorus]
So let's go back to our cocoon
On the blackened afternoon
I see your heart is bleeding too
Let me bleed instead of you
So let's go back to our cocoon
On the blackened afternoon
I see your heart is bleeding too
Let me bleed instead of you
Let me bleed, let me bleed
Eh-ah, eh-ah
Let me bleed, let me bleed
Eh-ah, eh-ah
Instead of you

[Refrain]
Eh-ah, eh-ah, oh
Eh-ah, eh-ah

[Chorus]
So let's go back to our cocoon
On the blackened afternoon
I see your heart is bleeding too
Let me bleed instead of you
So let's go back to our cocoon
On the blackened afternoon
I see your heart is bleeding too
Let me bleed instead of you
Let me bleed, let me bleed
Let me bleed, let me bleed
Let me bleed, now I will bleed
Instead of you

How did Clemens from Milky Chance begin writing this song?

I was back home. You can check the verse and the chorus, “On a blackened afternoon.” I was back at home. It was afternoon, nearly evening. It was just a gray day. Everything was really dark outside. So I just began to write this song out of the mood that I was into.

How does Philipp from Milky Chance remember this song evolving from demo stage?

There was a demo of that song from a long time ago. Like one and a half years or something. We were already in the process of making the new album and did a couple of new songs. One day our manager said, “I remember this song. You showed us the demo a long time ago. Maybe you should work on that aga...

How does Philipp define the "cocoon?"

For me it’s easy. It’s basically two things: music and family. So, it’s not really a place for me. It’s more like the people who make the place. I think for both of us music is something that, since we were small kids, has made us be able to escape. By doing it, you set your mind free.

What does Philipp want people to take away from this song?

The coolest thing about music is that people can grab anything out of music very differently. No matter what the artist writes in the lyrics or the artist doing the music put into it. Other people, by listening, can take something really different out of it. And this is what makes it so special. We...
