Arizona
Evenstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to do all that he can
Turns to her she hasn't got the answer
He's coming up with empty hands
She is doing every little thing she cansixteen years in your own hell
Or at least that is what it seems
So many days spent searching for the answer
Only to find you're no better than anyone else
Hold on a little bit longer this time
For a little bit longer
Just try a little bit for me this time
For the last
Arizona came to this harbor town
She turned her back on all that she had
Leaving her mark without a sound
Didn't wanna be like her mom and dad
Hold on a little bit longer this time
For a little bit longer
Just try a little bit for me this time
For the last
He's a wreck a modern day disaster
Trying to do all that he can
She turned her back on all that she had
Didn't wanna be like her mom and dad
Hold on a little bit longer this time
For a little bit longer
Just try a little bit for me this time
For the last
The lyrics of Evenstar's song Arizona are very introspective and convey a sense of helplessness and a search for answers. The first verse talks about a man who is struggling to find his way and is turning to his partner for guidance, but she doesn't have the answers either. The second verse talks about a person who has been in their own personal hell for sixteen years and has been constantly searching for answers, only to find that they are no better than anyone else.
The chorus urges both these individuals to hold on just a little bit longer, to keep trying for a little bit longer. The word Arizona in the title refers to a place where the woman in the song has left and turned her back on, in order to not end up like her parents. The repeated lines of the chorus provide comfort and assurance that things will get better and they should not lose hope.
Overall, the song seems to be commenting on the human condition and how we are all just trying to navigate our way through difficult times. It highlights the importance of support from loved ones and the need to keep pushing forward, even when things seem bleak.
