Stevie Doesn't Wonder
Hotel Ugly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel so high
You′ve been switching up and telling me lies
I've been waiting for you to change (la la la la la)
Fight or flight

But I′ll stay with you tonight
There's a lot of things I can't explain (la la la la)
Baby call me one more time
Moving fast left me behind

There′s a lot of things that I could say
I could take a cigarette (take a cigarette)
Draw your face into my head (oh)
There′s a lot of things I can't forget

I could take my memory (take my memory)
And paint your picture in my dreams (oh
There′s a lot of things that I regret (la la la la)

I could take a cigarette (take a cigarette)
Draw your face into my head (oh)
There's a lot of things I can′t forget

I could take my memory (take my memory)
And paint your picture in my dreams (oh
There's a lot of things that I regret (la la la la)

Overall Meaning

The song "Stevie Doesn't Wonder" by Hotel Ugly seems to be a lament about a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is still in love with the person who has been dishonest with them and is finding it difficult to move on. The opening line "Feel so high" suggests that the singer may be under the influence of something to help deal with the pain of the situation. The next line "You've been switching up and telling me lies" indicates that the other person has been unfaithful or at least dishonest, which has caused the singer much heartache.


Despite this, the singer seems to want to hold on and give them another chance as they sing "I'll stay with you tonight". There's a sense of desperation in the repetition of "There's a lot of things I can't explain/Baby call me one more time/Moving fast left me behind". The chorus "I could take a cigarette/Draw your face into my head/ There's a lot of things I can't forget" reiterates the idea that the singer is still in love with this person and struggling to get over them.


Overall, "Stevie Doesn't Wonder" may be interpreted as a sad love song about a person who can't let go of a failed relationship. Despite the pain and unfaithfulness, the singer still holds on to the hope that the other person will change their ways and come back to them.
