Ever So Shy
General Fiasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's get wasted
It's all we ever do,
We're so stupid
But that's ok the drunks are your friends
We'll just sit here
Wasting our time
Thinking out loud
There's nobody listening

Well I'm ever so cold
Is all I get told, I'm ever so cold
You're ever so shy
You keep it inside
It's more than just lies
You're ever so cool
And I'd be a fool if you left me
I'm ever so shy,
You're ever so shy,
We're ever so shy

And oh we are
Counting up the reasons to be shy, she is
Counting out the reasons to try
I know, I know we're getting there
I know we're coming now well let's pretend
Waiting around in the back bored and i think
5 minutes more of this well this is wearing thin
I know I know we're getting there
I know well come on now yeah let's pretend

Well I'm ever so cold
Is all I get told, I'm ever so cold
You're ever so shy
You keep it inside it's more than just lies
You're ever so cool
And I'd be a fool if you left me
I'm ever so shy, you're ever so shy, we're ever so shy

Stop!

You must be kidding..
You must be having me on

And it's easy yeah yeah
And there's no reason to be shy
Go ahead and let her lie
I can not figure it out
I can not figure it out

Whilst you know the ones they're coming for and
Whilst you know the ones they're calling for you

Why you know the ones they're coming for and
Why you know the ones they're calling for you
They're calling for you..

Well I'm ever so cold
Is all I get told,
I'm ever so cold
You're ever so shy
You keep it inside it's more than just lies
You're ever so cool
And I'd be a fool if you left me
I'm ever so shy,
You're ever so shy,
We're ever so shy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Ever So Shy" by General Fiasco are about the angst and insecurities in a relationship, as well as the youth culture of partying and socializing. The opening lines, "Let's get wasted, It's all we ever do, We're so stupid, But that's ok the drunks are your friends," suggests that the characters in the song are reckless and possibly using drinking and partying as a way to cope with their insecurities. The following lines, "There's nobody listening," can be interpreted as feeling alone and isolated despite being surrounded by people.


The chorus, "Well I'm ever so cold, Is all I get told, You're ever so shy, You keep it inside, It's more than just lies, You're ever so cool, And I'd be a fool if you left me, I'm ever so shy, You're ever so shy, We're ever so shy," showcases the conflicting emotions and vulnerabilities in the relationship. The repetition of "ever so" emphasizes the intensity of their feelings.


The bridge, "And it's easy yeah yeah, And there's no reason to be shy, Go ahead and let her lie, I can not figure it out," suggests that there may be issues with trust and communication in the relationship. The ending lines, "Why you know the ones they're coming for and, Why you know the ones they're calling for you, They're calling for you," leaves the listener with an ambiguous and unresolved feeling.
