Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit

How could it end this way?
A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit

How could it end this way?

Don't leave me, love me

A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit

A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit

How could it end this way?
Don't leave me, love me
Just a little bit longer

How could it end this way?
Don't leave me, love me
Just a little bit longer

How could it end this way?
Don't leave me, love me
Just a little bit longer

Just a little bit longer

Overall Meaning

At its core, the lyrics of "Shivers" by Eller van Buuren ft Susana deal with the feeling of loss and the longing for connection. The opening lines suggest a sense of emptiness and isolation, with the world turning but the music lacking any sweetness. The repeated refrain of "a little bit just a little bit" seems to suggest a plea for even a small amount of love or affection.

As the song progresses, the theme of heartbreak and separation becomes more explicit. The singer laments the absence of the sun and the inability to feel love in their heart. The title "Shivers" refers to the physical sensation of chills running up and down one's spine, perhaps triggered by the memory of a lost love. The mention of tears on the singer's face highlights the emotional impact of this experience.

Despite the sadness and desperation in the lyrics, there's also a recurring message of hope. The plea to "stay tonight" and "let the truth shine bright" suggests a desire to rebuild the love that's been lost. The repeated entreaty to "just a little bit longer" serves as a reminder that even a small amount of time or attention can make a big difference.
