Endless Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes a fever makes me sick
You hold me
You wake me up from my nightmare but lately
I can't get out of it
Don't sit so close, I feel your breath
It's raising prickles on my neck
I didn't mean you couldn't stay
Sometimes an X can mean a kiss or two
But sometimes an X just means delete
Well maybe an O don't mean a thing to you but lately
A hug is what I need
Please don't come closer
I don't need you to be here beside me
But I can't hear my voice
What you're thinking
Why you always will leave me alone dear
I don't have a choice
It's just a dream
Sometimes I need support to help me through
But sometimes you need a looser grip
Well maybe I'm better off all by myself
But lately I'd die without you with
Sometimes a scream can mean a true delight
But sometimes I scream in agony
Well you heal me with loving words and bandages
But maybe my wounds are much too deep
Please don't come closer
I don't need you to be here beside me
And I can't hear my voice
What you're thinking
Why you always will leave me alone dear
But I don't have a choice
Is it me?
Is it me?
Is it me?
It's just a dream
Don't sit so close, I feel your breath
It's raising prickles on my neck
I try so hard to push away
I didn't mean you couldn't stay
Please don't come closer
I don't need you to be here beside me
And I can't hear my voice
What you're thinking
Why you always will leave me alone dear
But I don't have a choice
What you're thinking
Why you always will leave me beside you
And I can't hear my voice
Don't come closer
Why you always will leave me alone dear
But I can't hear my voice
What you're thinking
Why you always will leave me beside you
And I can't hear my voice
What you're thinking
Why you always will leave me alone dear
It's just a dream
Fever Dreams by Endless Blue is a song about the struggle with love and the fear of abandonment. The lyrics describe a protagonist who is torn between wanting to be close to their lover and wanting to push them away. The song opens with the lines, "Sometimes a fever makes me hot for you, but sometimes a fever makes me sick." This represents the singer's conflicted emotions towards their lover. They are experiencing a fever due to the overwhelming feelings of love, but also feel sick because of their fear of abandonment.
The chorus of the song is the singer's plea for their lover to stay away while also wanting them to stay. They express that they cannot hear their own voice because they are so focused on their lover's thoughts and actions. The singer wonders if the reason their lover always leaves them is because of something they did wrong. However, they conclude that it is all just a dream, symbolizing their fear of losing their lover.
The second verse talks about how the singer needs support, but sometimes their lover's grip is too tight. They question whether they are better off without them, but ultimately realize that they would "die without [them] with." The song ends with the repetition of the chorus and the line "It's just a dream," emphasizing that the singer's fear of abandonment and desire for closeness may not be grounded in reality.
Overall, Fever Dreams is a poignant and emotional portrayal of the complicated nature of love and the fear of rejection.
