Shiver
Brainstorm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my getaway from all the things you've done
'Cause you let me fall astray
For all the sorrow that I see the purpose is all gone
And you think there's nothing left to say
We should have done things differently
But different worlds always collide in me
I'm running out of nowhere
There's nowhere left to hide
I'm on my way to nowhere, it's me against you all
I shiver down your spine
When you lose your mask tonight
You tried to pull the strings of my memory
And tried to break my walls in two
Keeping you from getting in, no word that I can say
...I can't explain all you put me enough




I'm drowning with you by my side
The pain of mine just tears me down inside

Overall Meaning

In "Shiver," Brainstorm sings about a broken relationship and the aftermath of it. The singer needs to get away from their former partner and all the pain they caused. The sorrow has drained the purpose out of life, and the singer believes that there is nothing left to say. Despite knowing that they should have handled things differently, the situation has become a collision of different worlds within the singer. Nowhere left to go, they are on their own and shivering with the coldness and emptiness of it all.


The partner tried to manipulate the singer's memories and break their emotional walls to get through to them again. However, the singer feels like they have nothing left to give and everything has already been taken away. They are drowning and suffocating in their pain, which is tearing them down from inside. The song is an emotional depiction of a relationship gone wrong and the aftermath of dealing with the trauma and heartbreak that comes with it.


Line by Line Meaning

This is my getaway from all the things you've done
I need to distance myself from the actions you've taken


'Cause you let me fall astray
You led me down the wrong path and abandoned me


For all the sorrow that I see the purpose is all gone
The sadness I witness has left me questioning the meaning of it all


And you think there's nothing left to say
You believe words won't help fix the situation


We should have done things differently
There were better choices we could have made


But different worlds always collide in me
My conflicting feelings and experiences clash constantly


I'm running out of nowhere
I'm losing my sense of direction


There's nowhere left to hide
There's no longer a safe place for me to go


I'm on my way to nowhere, it's me against you all
I'm heading towards a place of uncertainty where I must face you alone


I shiver down your spine
My presence makes you feel uneasy


When you lose your mask tonight
When you drop your façade and show your true self


You tried to pull the strings of my memory
You attempted to manipulate my recollection of events


And tried to break my walls in two
You attempted to break down the barriers I've put up to protect myself


Keeping you from getting in, no word that I can say
I'm unable to keep you from invading my thoughts even if I try


...I can't explain all you put me enough
I can't articulate the ways in which you've hurt me sufficiently


I'm drowning with you by my side
I feel suffocated by your presence


The pain of mine just tears me down inside
The emotional turmoil I'm experiencing is slowly destroying me
