have you ever
Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Follow the blue rivers down my chest
From the tips of my toes to the spine in my neck
From the arch in your back to the one in my heels
This is everything you ever made me feel
Your hands never lingered, they never existed
Their touch never left, but your words they persisted
And remember when you said that you thought you couldn't breathe?
But now you're breathing down her neck and it's brought me to my knees
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
The cold betrays your lips turns darker hues
Looks like you’ve gone and you’ve found a muse
Suppose you thought that I’d be amused
But I don’t crave the bitter taste of your faded eyes and your wasted ways
So I’ll send my love to you thru the satellite
I got my fingers crossed the timing’s right
Oh I know it’s a phantom feeling, but it’s the one that keeps me dreaming
Waiting for my lips to turn blue so I can come home back to you
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue




Mocked by the colour blue
Mocked by the colour blue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Green's song "Have You Ever" delve into themes of longing, heartbreak, and the lingering effects of a past relationship. The opening lines, "Follow the blue rivers down my chest, From the tips of my toes to the spine in my neck," paint a vivid image of emotional pain and vulnerability. The color blue is used as a symbol throughout the song, representing sadness, loneliness, and the feeling of being mocked.


The lyrics also touch on the physical and emotional aspects of the relationship. The reference to the arch in the back and the touch that never left hints at physical intimacy that still resonates. However, the absence of the partner's hands and the persistence of their hurtful words illustrate the lasting impact of emotional scars. The mention of the partner breathing down another person's neck while the singer is brought to their knees implies a sense of betrayal and the pain of being replaced.


The chorus, "Mocked by the color blue," is repeated several times, emphasizing the ongoing torment and reminders of the past. The following lines, "The cold betrays your lips turns darker hues, Looks like you’ve gone and you’ve found a muse," suggest that the ex-partner has moved on to someone else, further intensifying the singer's feelings of being mocked and discarded.


As the song progresses, the singer sends their love through the metaphorical satellite, hoping for the timing to be right for a reunion. The phrase "phantom feeling" suggests that the longing and hope may be illusory, yet it remains the driving force behind their dreams. The desire for their own lips to turn blue, symbolizing a shift in emotions or circumstances, underscores the singer's readiness to return to the past relationship, even after being mocked and rejected.


Overall, "Have You Ever" delves into the complex emotions of heartbreak, longing, and the desire for reconciliation, while highlighting the ongoing pain and the struggle to let go.
