Cocoon

Best line of the song: "I don't wanna be your regret, I'd rather be your cocoon" that says it all right there - you wanna hope that in failed relationships you were that person with whom the other person needed to be with in order to grow before emerging as a beautiful butterfly with someone else ... instead of one of their mistakes. jack's a genius. loovvve it!

This song is about two people who have been hurt in relationships in the past. he is saying that she looks like she is ready to leave or dis connect because of the fact that past relationships bring baggage and her heart may still be in the past. But maybe there is nothing to learn from relationships but that you take what you need and they are what they are. We all are dealing with somewhat of a broken heart and we want to be able to be vulnerable again and not regret the next relationship like the one before. we are all looking for our cocoon. :) Here he is just asking her to share with him what she has and he will do the same.

I take this as a breakup song, and it's one of my favorites along with Song For the Dumped by Ben Folds Five. They show such different views on breaking up, and while BFF's is alot more fun, this one makes so much more sense. "I don't want to be your regret, I'd rather be your cocoon." It's such a good way of saying, "I hope you came out of this a better person," instead of "fuck you."

the genuine emotion in his voice takes this song to the next level.

especially at the end when he holds out the not on "please"

i love it.

i was about to say something about his voice.

it's extremely powerful

Have been to Finland, met a dancing girl (from Lettland) at a strip club (Naima Club, Saariselkä). We talked to eachother, she listened to "Cocoon" from Jack Johnson on my mp3-player and immediately broke up into tears... Afterwards we cuddled a long time (strictly forbidden in such a bar!) but later never met again.

"i guess all we had is really all we need" ... "let's use only what we really need you know we only have so little so please take these broken hearts and leave"

This is my favourite Jack Johnson song. Yeah i know it's impossible to choose just one because there all so amazing. But this one hits close to home and every time i hear it, i immediately just zone out and put everything into perspective. I don't know why but theres something about this song that does it too me.

I can't believe no one has posted anything about cocoon. This is one of my most favorite jack johnson songs ever!
