Space
Ally Hills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't even care that my clothes aren't there, you needed the hanger space.
You don't even mind cos' you don't waste time, filling in all the blanks.
I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to be lonely.
I wish you would stay in for a night to see what it's like fading slowly.
You were my love, you wanted this, I gave it all, then you took what you did.
You were my life, you turned off like a switch.
You know what they say, well they say life's a bitch.
You don't even care you can't get yourself a spare, like you always do.
But wouldn't it be nice if my kind of paradise wasn't lying there buried in you?
I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to want more.
I wish I could find my dignity so that I didn't have to be just another call that you ignore.
You were my love, you wanted this, I gave it all, then you took what you did.
You were my life, you turned off like a switch.
You know what they say, well they say life's a bitch.

Overall Meaning

In Ally Hills's song Space, she sings about a relationship in which one partner seems to have grown distant and cold. The opening lines of the song show the lack of care from the other partner- "You don't even care that my clothes aren't there, you needed the hanger space. You don't even mind cos' you don't waste time, filling in all the blanks." It shows that the partner is not bothered about the absence of her clothes because they needed the hanger space; almost acting as if their partner and their presence did not matter. This is a clear indication that the partner is not invested in the relationship.


Ally Hills goes on to express her want for her partner to experience what she is feeling- "I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to be lonely. I wish you would stay in for a night to see what it's like fading slowly." She wishes that her partner could understand the pain of loneliness and the struggle of fading away slowly in the relationship. Her partner seems to have taken her love for granted and discarded it without any guilt or remorse- "You were my love, you wanted this, I gave it all, then you took what you did. You were my life, you turned off like a switch. You know what they say, well they say life's a bitch."


In the second verse, Ally Hills addresses the fact that her partner has no care for her feelings and emotions- "You don't even care you can't get yourself a spare, like you always do." She wishes that her partner could understand her desires for a better life and relationship, one which wasn't just buried in him. Ally Hills wants to be more than just another call that her partner can ignore. The song ends with her partner stating that they needed space.

Effy

You seem so far away
but I try and make you stay
oh, I would
I would
if I could
those eyes always shine so bright (shine so bright)
your heart I'd hold on tight
oh, I would
I would
if I could
so, just give me time
you could make me change my mind
with all the things you say
you could make me change my way
for you
only for you

You're the one I'm thinking of
one word I fall in love
oh, I would
I would
if I could
I swear I'd wait forever
cause I know you'd make things better
oh, I would
I would
if I could
so, just give me time
you could make me change my mind
with all the things you say
you could make me change my way
for you
only for you
for you
only for you

I fall asleep at night
unwind my restless mind
but I can't seem to let you go
you're always in my thoughts
no way of getting lost
And I just wanted you to know
so, just give me time
you could make me change my mind
with all the things you say
you could make me change my way
for you
only for you
for you
only for you
