Hannah
Coin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a long drag
As you walk downtown
And as I catch my breath
You appear from a cloud of cigarettes

You listen and you disregard
The traffic on the boulevard
Well, I couldn't spend another night
In your arms

I'm sorry Hannah
But I've got other plans
So keep on dancing
Into the arms of another man
Hold your head up, Hannah
Hold your head up high
I'm sorry Hannah
How will you know if you never try?

Oh you'd break your neck
Trying to let your hair down
And is it worth the risk
Just to crash your car for the sound of it?

Oh you call yourself an indigo
You had it once but let it go
Well, I couldn't spend another night
In your arms

I'm sorry Hannah
But I've got other plans
So keep on dancing
Into the arms of another man
Hold your head up, Hannah
Hold your head up high
I'm sorry Hannah
How will you know if you never try?

Tell me that you're bored to death
In a skyline that you never left
The light in your eyes is flickering
But are you listening?
Are you listening?

Tell me that you're bored to death
With a skyline that you never left
The light in your eyes is flickering
But are you listening?
Are you listening?

Hold your head up, Hannah
Hold your head up high
I'm sorry Hannah
How will you know if you never try?





How will you know if you never try?
How will you know if you never try?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Coin's song "Hannah" tell the story of a romantic relationship that has run its course. The singer addresses Hannah, telling her that he cannot spend another night in her arms, and that he has other plans. The imagery in the song highlights the disconnection between the two of them, with Hannah smoking as the singer catches his breath, and the hopelessness of the situation is exemplified through the repeated questioning of "How will you know if you never try?"


The singer seems to have an understanding of who Hannah is as a person, describing her as someone who tries to let her hair down and take risks, even if it means crashing her car for the sound of it. He also acknowledges that Hannah once felt unique and different (an "indigo"), but has lost this sense of identity. Despite all of this, the singer urges Hannah to hold her head up high and continue to try, despite the possibility that she may be hurt again.


Overall, "Hannah" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships and the struggle to move on from something that once felt special, but has since become unsustainable.


Line by Line Meaning

Take a long drag
Inhale deeply on a cigarette


As you walk downtown
While you move towards the city center


And as I catch my breath
As I pause to rest my lungs


You appear from a cloud of cigarettes
I see you emerge from a dense haze of cigarette smoke


You listen and you disregard
You hear but pay no attention


The traffic on the boulevard
The noise of the cars on the road


Well, I couldn't spend another night
I am done spending any more nights


In your arms
Holding you tightly


I'm sorry Hannah
I apologize Hannah


But I've got other plans
I have other things to do


So keep on dancing
Keep on moving with rhythm


Into the arms of another man
Fall in love with someone else


Hold your head up, Hannah
Keep your head up, Hannah


Hold your head up high
Be proud of yourself


Oh you'd break your neck
Trying to impress/excite others


Trying to let your hair down
Trying to loosen up and be wild


And is it worth the risk
Is it worth it to take such a big chance


Just to crash your car for the sound of it?
Just to have a wild experience and cause significant damage


Oh you call yourself an indigo
You identify as a spiritual person


You had it once but let it go
You used to have something important but lost it


Tell me that you're bored to death
Confide in me if you feel extremely dull


In a skyline that you never left
In a place that you've never left


The light in your eyes is flickering
You seem to be losing your enthusiasm and spirit


But are you listening?
Are you paying attention?


Are you listening?
Are you paying attention?


How will you know if you never try?
You won't know unless you attempt it.
