Hush
Dotan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hush, can't you see what is there
Don't wake the lost
It's all just around you and
Hush, can't you see what is there
Calling the coast
Oh its all just around you (yeah)

Waking up for moment
Finding you're not there
Is all that's left
I promised us forever
Hiding out the feelings
All that can rest

So oh wont you sing a song,
Oh wont you sing a song for me
And I will sing along
I will sing along you'll see

Hush, can't you see what is there
Shadow and soaps
It's all just around you
And hush, can't you see what is left
Of these hollow bones
It's all just around you (yeah)

Waking up for moment
Finding you're not there is all that's left
I promised us forever
Hiding out the feelings
All that can rest

So oh wont you sing a song
Wont you sing a song for me
And I will sing along
I will sing along you'll see

And oh wont you sing a song
Oh wont you sing a song for me
And I will sing along
I will sing along you'll see-eee...

Hush, can't you see what is there




Don't wake the lost
Oh it's all just about you

Overall Meaning

Dotan's song "Hush" is a beautiful yet melancholic ode to lost love. The song is about the desperation of a man trying to hold on to a love that is slipping away from him. In the first stanza, he tells the listener to 'Hush' and not to wake the lost because everything he needs is right there. He's pleading with his lover to stay with him and not leave him.


In the second stanza, the singer wakes up and finds that his lover is no longer with him. All that's left is the memory of their time together. He promised her forever, but now that promise seems to have faded away. He's hiding his feelings and holding on to memories that he can't let go of. The refrain of the song is a plea to his love to sing to him, to help bring back the love they once shared before it's too late.
