Hey You
Fallulah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t ever want it back
Nothing good has come from it
For you
Pleading for another chance
Don’t you see that’s what I get
Take your life and run with it
Hey, you
What’s on your mind?
I could dig it out
But I don’t have time
Hey, you
What’s on your mind?
I could dig it out
But I don’t have time
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I am going somewhere
And I’m, I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
You can’t be another guy
Doesn’t matter if you try
If we don’t see eye to eye
We’re through
And I can’t be another me
I try and fail so miserably
There is nothing more to see
For you
Hey, you
What’s on your mind?
I could dig it out
But I don’t have time
Hey, you
What’s on your mind?
I could dig it out
But I don’t have time
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I am going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere
And I’m leaving you here
I’m going somewhere (here)
And I’m leaving you here (here)
I’m going somewhere (here)
And I’m leaving you here (here)
The song "Hey You" by Fallulah talks about a relationship that has gone sour, and the desperate need from one of the partners to move on and leave the other person behind. The lyrics say that the singer gave her heart to the other person but did not receive anything good from it. She is pleading for another chance, but at the same time, she feels that she needs to leave to be able to move on with her life. The other person is asked what is on their mind, but the singer does not have time to dig into their thoughts anymore. They need to go somewhere and leave the other person behind, no matter how hard it is.
The tone of the song is melancholic and desperate, but it also portrays a sense of determination and strength to move on. The lyrics suggest that even though the singer still cares for the other person, they need to prioritize their own wellbeing and happiness, and that means leaving the past behind and starting anew. It's a poignant message that many people going through a breakup can relate to.
