Bearings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found you laying in your room
I Stood by your bedside every night
I did my best to comfort you
It's the morphine and the painkillers
That left you tired and confused
They said the cancer wasn't cureable
(what is happening?)
I don't believe a word they say
(what is happening?)
I couldn't watch you fade away
All I'm saying is the ending scares me every time
Your words replaying
Over and over I save them in my mind
Now I'm grabbing a hold
Of what's about to unfold
I'm walking hospital halls now that you're gone
All I'm saying
Is I still call your answering machine
I know
I've been busy now the last little while
I've got a, small apartment in Ottawa
I've got a girl with a beautiful smile
I've got dreams, I've got needs
I've got things I believe
That I just can not let go
I still, think about you every single day
I still miss that old North Hansen Home
Sometimes I wanna go home
All I'm saying is the ending scares me every time
Your words replaying
Over and over I save them in my mind
Now I'm grabbing a hold
Of what's about to unfold
I'm walking hospital halls now that you're gone
All I'm saying
Is I still call your answering machine
I'm so scared I'm trembling
Your words worth remembering
I'm so scared I'm trembling
Your words worth remembering
The song “North Hansen” by Bearings depicts the emotional journey of the singer visiting a terminally ill friend in the hospital. The artist expresses the emotional turmoil of watching a loved one slowly succumb to their sickness, the inevitable loss of someone that has been a crucial part of their life, and the fear of dealing with the aftermath of the loss. The lyrics “I found you laying in your room, I stood by your bedside every night, I did my best to comfort you” express the efforts made by the singer to comfort their friend during their stay in the hospital.
The singer appears to be in denial, and does not believe the medical professionals that their friend's condition is untreatable, and that nothing else could be done. As the lyrics “I don't believe a word they say, I couldn't watch you fade away” show the reluctance of the singer to accept the eventual death of their friend. The artist describes how the words spoken by their friend before their death haunt and stay with them. The lyrics “Your words replaying, over and over I save them in my mind” express how the singer can’t let go of the memories they shared with their friend.
