For A While

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the corner of your mouth, it says:
stay for a while,
stay for a while,
and time will move faster
and soft eyes bring me from the corner of your bed
to the corner of your pillow, you say:
lay for a while,
but we both know its not that simple
when all I can say is that I love you
yeah I came all this way to let you know
it takes all that I am just to love you
so now all I can do is let you go
but my face fits in the space beneath your chin
the space beneath your chin, it says:
hide for a while,
cry for a while,
oh I will, one last time
so I press my cheek down to the beating in your chest
the beating in your chest, it says:
sleep for a while,
dream for a while,
but go on your own this time
now all you can say is that you love me
yeah that's all you can do, just let me know
it takes all that you are just to love me
there's no more you can do just set me free
and maybe if we're meant to be it'll happen in another life
yes maybe if we're meant to be it'll happen in another life
well maybe if we're meant to be it will happen in another life…
but go on your own,
yes, go on your own this time
strong winds come from the corner of the sky
the corner of the sky, it says:
stray for a while,
stray for a while,
and you will forget him,
and it will be just fine,
and he will forget you,
and it will be alright,
this time
so now all I can say is that I loved you
yeah I came all this way to let you go
it took all that I had just to love you
now we've got nothing left just let it go
just let it go
just let it go
just let it go
The song 'For a While' by Bellorage depicts a relationship that is coming to an end. The lyrics focus on the singer's attempt to hold onto the time they have, as well as coming to terms with the inevitable conclusion of their love. The opening lines talk about the soft words and eyes of the love interest, as they try to convince the singer to stay for a while longer. However, even as they lay together, they both know that it's not that simple.
The chorus mentions that the singer loves the love interest, and it takes all that they have to do so. However, despite their feeling, it's clear that they cannot hold on to this relationship any longer. The second verse revolves around the singer resting their face on the love interest's chest, feeling their heartbeat. The love interest, despite being unable to keep the singer by their side, provides comfort and solace to them, through gentle words and touches.
The bridge talks about how both the singer and the love interest have to let go of each other. There is a sense of closure, as they both acknowledge that they loved each other, but it's time to move on. The final lines of the song feature the winds providing a sense of rebirth, telling the singer to stray away and forget about the love interest. The repeated "just let It go" brings a sense of finality and acceptance, as if the singer has come to terms with what has to be done.
