Meaning of "Twinstar" by Veruca Salt

The lyrics of "Twinstar" explore themes of feeling stuck in one's own destructive patterns and struggling to break free from them. The persona describes a desire to escape the darkness and heaviness they feel ("all I want to do is die," "all I wanna do is drown") but acknowledges the difficulty in doing so. There is a sense of frustration and resignation in the repeated lines "stuck in my ways," emphasizing the struggle to change despite external efforts to lift them up. The repetition of "You wanna lift me up but you don't know and you don't see" highlights a sense of perceived invisibility or misunderstanding on the part of those trying to help. The persona's internal battle between wanting to change and feeling unable to is a poignant exploration of the complexities of mental health and personal growth.
