Everywhere
Ex Hex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don’t exist, I don’t care
I’ll find you everywhere
Waterfalls are in the air
If you don’t see them, I don’t care
There are waterfalls in the air
I could see right through you
Even though you were right here
You’re a crystal chandelier
Your prisms ring so clear
Crystal chandelier
I’ll find you everywhere
If you don’t exist, I don’t care
I’ll find you everywhere
And when I saw you
You were hanging out with your friends
I knew that it was over
But I didn’t know it had come to an end
The lyrics to Ex Hex’s song “Everywhere” are open to interpretation, but one possible explanation is that the singer is searching for someone who may not be present physically, yet feels their presence everywhere. She declares that if this person doesn’t exist, she doesn’t care and will still find them everywhere. The notion of “waterfalls in the air” suggests a sense of wonder and possibility that expands beyond the tangible world. The singer seems to transcend reality in her search for this person.
The phrase “looking into the mortal mirror” is interesting. It references the idea of a mirror reflecting back our mortal selves, but in this context, it suggests that the other person is also not entirely of this realm. The singer can see right through them, which could be interpreted as seeing into their soul or beyond their physical form. This adds to the sense of otherworldliness and mystery that pervades the song.
The metaphor of a “crystal chandelier” with “prisms [that] ring so clear” adds another layer to the song. The chandelier symbolizes something dazzling and awe-inspiring, but the clear ring of the prisms implies a certain sharpness or clarity that could also be painful or melancholy. The singer could be longing for someone who is just out of reach, or mourning the loss of someone who shone brightly but is now lost to her. Either way, the song feels wistful and poignant.

I’ll find you everywhere
No matter where you go, I'll always be able to find you
If you don’t exist, I don’t care
Whether or not you're real, it doesn't matter to me
I’ll find you everywhere
No matter how hard it is, I'll keep looking for you
Waterfalls are in the air
There are beautiful things all around us, even if we can't always see them
If you don’t see them, I don’t care
If you're not able to appreciate the beauty around us, it's not my problem
There are waterfalls in the air
There's wonder in the world, even in the unlikeliest of places
I saw you looking into the mortal mirror
I saw you staring at yourself in the mirror, thinking about life and death
I could see right through you
I knew what you were thinking, even though you didn't say anything
Even though you were right here
You could be standing right next to me, but feel far away
You’re a crystal chandelier
You're beautiful, but also fragile
Your prisms ring so clear
Your beauty and your pain are both so clear to me
I’ll find you everywhere
No matter what happens between us, I'll still be searching
If you don’t exist, I don’t care
Whether or not you ever existed, you mean the world to me
I’ll find you everywhere
No matter how lost I feel, I'll keep trying to find you
And when I saw you
When I saw you for the last time
You were hanging out with your friends
You were living your life, having fun with the people you love
I knew that it was over
I knew that our relationship was coming to an end
But I didn’t know it had come to an end
I thought we still had a chance, but it was already too late
