Hey Hey
Daniel Desnoyers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
I had my feet on the ground
So much for that

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
And now my life's upside down
Imagine that

And it's all because I heard you say
And it's all because I heard you say
And it's all because I walked your way

I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say

And I heard you say
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Oh just right
You got to sit tight
Close your eyes
And let your head go down
Let your feet up off the ground
And let your head go down
Let your feet up off the ground

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
I had my head straight and sound
They've told me that

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
And now my life is on the bounce
Just like that

And it's all because I walked your way
And it's all because I heard you say
And I should've known to stay away

But I heard you say

I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say

And I heard you say
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey




Hey hey
Hey hey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daniel Desnoyers's song Hey Hey depict the transformation of a person's life after meeting somebody new. The song is all about how one day, the singer was living an ordinary life with his feet on the ground - everything was stable and constant. However, things take a new turn when they meet someone who turns their life 'upside down'. From that point on, the singer's life has never been the same. They find themselves in situations they never thought they would be in, and everything seems to happen just because they heard the other person say something.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the impact of the other person on the singer's life. The repetition of 'Hey hey' gives the song a catchy and upbeat vibe, which complements the lyrics well. The chorus is the point where the singer reflects on how much their life has changed since they met the other person. The last section of the lyrics gives the listener advice on how they too can experience such a life-transforming event. They are told to close their eyes, let their head go down and their feet off the ground.


Overall, the song speaks to the magical effect of meeting someone that changes your life entirely. It highlights that these moments can happen when you least expect it and how life can suddenly turn on its head because of one person.


Line by Line Meaning

Just an ordinary day
My life was regular, nothing special was happening before I saw you


Till you came around
Everything changed when you arrived


I had my feet on the ground
I was stable and grounded before you showed up


So much for that
That stability disappeared when I met you


And now my life's upside down
My life is in chaos now that you're in it


Imagine that
It's hard to believe how much my life has changed since meeting you


And it's all because I heard you say
The reason for all this change is because I heard you speak


And it's all because I walked your way
The reason for all this change is because I came towards you physically


Hey hey
A phrase used to allure someone or get them excited


Oh just right
Everything is perfect now


You got to sit tight
You need to relax or be calm


Close your eyes
Shut your eyes, forget everything else


And let your head go down
Relax your head onto something comfortable, such as a pillow


Let your feet up off the ground
Lift your feet up, or relax them in a comfortable position


I had my head straight and sound
My thoughts and emotions were untangled before I met you


They've told me that
Others have informed me of this perception of myself


And now my life is on the bounce
Now my life is full of highs and lows, never consistent


Just like that
It happened out of nowhere


And I should've known to stay away
I should have realized that you were trouble from the beginning


But I heard you say
But I listened to your words and was drawn in
