Christine
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you outside after your big show.
I stopped to talk to you but now I don't know.
Further and further away from me, I don't know where you are.
You were just a shooting star.
I say Christine.
Now I write you letters everyday.
I haven't sent them yet but that's ok.
I lie in bed every night and all I can dream of is you.
Tell me now this isn't right, what am I to do?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Copperpot's "Christine" seem to convey heartbreak experienced by the singer. The song starts with the singer seeing Christine after her "big show." However, as he approaches her, he realizes that she's "further and further away" from him, and he doesn't know where she is. This line conjures up images of fleeting love and the feeling of loss that follows. The next line, "You were just a shooting star," further emphasizes this sentiment, perhaps indicating that he believed that their time together was short-lived, and now she's gone.


The chorus of the song has the singer saying Christine's name, which can be seen as a form of yearning for her. He then goes on to say that he writes letters to her every day, even though he hasn't sent them. The idea of writing letters but not sending them could indicate that he's holding back his emotions, perhaps out of fear of rejection or just the acknowledgement that it's over. The last line of the chorus - "I lie in bed every night, and all I can dream of is you" - emphasizes his inability to move on from Christine.


Overall, the song seems to encapsulate the feeling of longing for someone who's no longer in your life, and the pain that comes with that. Despite the time that has passed since their breakup, the singer still holds onto his feelings for her, unable to let go.
