The story behind the song

"Cocoon" captures the turbulent, magnetic pull of an on-again, off-again relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of someone falling fast and deep, while their partner tries to "out-drink me" to get away with more. It's a snapshot of a connection that's both intoxicating and perhaps a little self-destructive, where intense feelings meet a desire for escape. Released in 2014 on their debut album The Balcony, this track embodies the raw energy and emotional directness that Catfish and the Bottlemen are known for. Playing it feels like tapping into that push and pull of a complicated love.
