Averi Lyrics

In the beginning of this song, the singer, Averi, is reflecting on a dream she had where an individual who is no longer a part of her life was present, and held her hand tightly. The dream felt so real that she woke up thinking that it actually happened. However, she admits that she is not one to believe in signs or apparitions since she lost "that side" of herself a long time ago. This suggests that she may have been through some type of heartbreak or loss that made her lose faith in the idea of signs, omens, or the supernatural.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I don't want to talk about it, you're gone and now we're living without it." This line suggests that something or someone important is missing from her life and, while she doesn't want to express or discuss this loss, its absence is palpable. The grief is evident and hauntingly present. The singer then goes on to touch on mortality and the fleeting nature of life, "There is never enough time, and too many things to do over. We're given the years that we get but we always want a little bit longer." She's acknowledging that death is inevitable, and we are given what we're given, but she's also lamenting that there's always something that could have been done differently or more intensely.

The last verse shifts the focus to the concept of belief, "Well I know it will come to me, but is anyone ever ready? What do you really believe? Whatever makes it easier?" The singer is questioning her own beliefs, the inevitability of death, and whether it's possible to be fully prepared for it. The final line, "Whatever makes it easier?" is a poignant one, suggesting that perhaps the beliefs we hold or the ideas we tell ourselves about death and loss are primarily ways for us to cope—as opposed to being entirely true.
