Beg
Evans Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a lit cigarette
In the hand of my new angel
She's blowing smoke like halos
And now everybody wants her
But I shouldn't even bother
Because you made me so complete dear
But you left me so alone here
Hang a noose for my new sinner somewhere everyone can see it

Won't you beg me and then tell me how to love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
Go run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her
So much you're moving on and on

Now there's a whole wide world that wants to know
Have cheap hotels lost their turn-on?
She's bathing in the neon
And she's polluting all the airways
While I'm passed out in the hallway
And you left me so in love here
You left with so much hate dear
Was I creating only chaos?
This world lives just fine without us

Won't you beg me and then tell me how to love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
Go run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her
So much you're moving on and on

Will it change your life if I change my mind?
When she's lit the whole wide world
I want to know if you will

Beg me and then tell me how to love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
But I'd hope you set your levels (for how long)
So you can run for cover
You better start to love her
Now are we this pathetic?
You made me finally see it
(Will it change your life when I change my mind?)

Go run for cover (Will it change your mind)
You better fucking love her
So much you're moving on (When I change my life?)
I'm so pathetic,
You made me finally see it
Got what you want? I'm gone

For how long?
For how long?
For how long
Will it change your life?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Evans Blue's song Beg are full of raw emotion and personal introspection. The singer is grappling with the aftermath of a breakup and the pain that comes with it. He describes his new love interest as someone who is attractive and commanding of attention, but ultimately, he knows he can't pursue her because of the lingering love he still has for his ex-girlfriend. He questions if he created chaos in his previous relationship and wonders if he can change for the better. The chorus is a plea for guidance on how to love properly, like anybody else would.


The verse "She's bathing in the neon and she's polluting all the airways" could represent the new love interest as someone who is flashy and ostentatious, but also capable of changing the singer's mood or manipulating their thoughts. The allusion to cheap hotels being a turn-on implies that the new love interest is not necessarily genuine or desirable. The singer is incoherent and drunk ("while I'm passed out in the hallway"), highlighting the pain and confusion that he is experiencing from the breakup. In the end, the singer acknowledges his own flaws and begs for clarity on how to love sincerely.
