Either or Either
Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've done it before, it's amazing I love you still
Girl, this won't be, no no no no not like the last time
You spoke with words so gentle and made me feel fine
Now my cup is running over, oh the pain is so strong
I can't go no further
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
Come to me now or stay forever
I'd like to know that we still can get along
And if you're willing, I can forget the things you've done
Things like hurting, like suffering and standing in the rain
I don't know what you're playing but it sure is a dirty game
Cause now my cup is full and running over
Oh the pain is so strong I can't go no further
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
Don't make me promises that you can't fulfill
You've done it before, it's amazing I love you still
Girl, this won't be, no no no no not like the last time
You spoke with words so gentle and made me feel fine
Now my cup is running over, oh the pain is so strong
I can't go no further
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
Either or Either, it's now or never
Come to me now or stay forever
The lyrics of Beres Hammond's song "Either or Either" give a glimpse into a tumultuous relationship, where promises have been made and broken before. The singer, who is presumably the one who has been hurt, is now at a point where they can no longer take the pain and uncertainty. The lines "Now my cup is running over, oh the pain is so strong, I can't go no further" depict the unbearable suffering that the singer is going through.
The chorus of the song, with the repetition of "Either or Either, it's now or never, come to me now or stay forever", highlights the ultimatum that the singer is giving. They want the other person to make a clear choice, to either commit fully to the relationship or to walk away forever. It is evident that the singer still has feelings for the other person and wants things to work out. However, there is an underlying sense of resignation, as they have been hurt multiple times before and do not want to go through that pain again.
Overall, the song conveys an emotional plea for clarity and honesty in a relationship. The lyrics reveal the struggles that come with trust issues, past wounds, and a desire for a deeper connection.
