Shiver
Avec Sans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're there walking, walking, walking right
There on my grave
But try as I may, it's a thought that I couldn't shake
Now who's hands are holding on you just couldn't say
Shiver
You say that walking over me
Shiver
Shiver
You say that walking over me
Shiver
It goes up my spine on to my teeth
Follow me, follow me
My heart's a waste, my love remains
Shiver
Is this what I like? Is this where I lay?
Are all the worlds above me slowly fading away?
As slight as it was you know the memory stays
At least it wasn't you the one to get what you say
Shiver
You say that walking over me
Shiver
It goes up my spine on to my teeth
Shiver
You say that walking over me
Shiver
It goes up my spine on to my teeth
Follow me, follow me
My heart's a waste, my love remains
Shiver
Oh, no, what have you done?
You wielded like a loaded gun to me
Oh, no, are you aware
Of how your words can slice the air?
Oh, no, what have you done?
You wielded like a loaded gun to me
Oh, no, are you aware
Of how your words are welcome here?
Shiver
You say that walking over me
Shiver
It goes up my spine on to my teeth
Shiver
You say that walking over me
Shiver

The song "Shiver" by Avec Sans talks about the pain that one feels after a relationship has ended. The lyrics show the emotions and feelings that come with being walked over and feeling like a waste. The singer mentions that someone is walking over their grave, but they cannot shake the thought of who the person holding on to them could be. The chorus talks about shivering and how the feeling goes up the spine and onto teeth when they think about the person walking over them.
The second verse continues the same theme, talking about how the memory of the relationship stays despite how slight it was. The singer also questions whether they are in the right place, and if all the worlds above them are fading away. The bridge talks about the power of words and how they can be like a loaded gun, slicing through the air. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus and the word "shiver." This repetition emphasizes the haunting sensations the singer feels.
