Eve
Greg And Nick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't even need to see straight
You're an excellent shot
At hitting yourself in the foot
Maybe sit this one out
I'll hold my breath while you breathe out
You're in excellent shape
And maybe I'm a fool
But I don't believe it's true
And as for what they say
And as for what stands in your way
And as for Winter
It is only May
The next exit is no way out
The bridge ahead is long enough
For you and I to take our sweet time on
Maybe I'm a fool
But I don't believe it's true
And maybe I'm a fool
But I don't believe you're through
And as for what it takes
To make it through another holiday
For the rest of your New Year's Eves I'm free
And as for what it takes
To make it through another holiday
For the rest of your New Year's Eves I'm free
The lyrics to Greg And Nick's song Eve are complex and thought-provoking. The first stanza talks about how someone is so good at sabotaging themselves that they don't even need to try, as they always manage to hit themselves in the foot. The singer suggests that maybe the person should sit this one out and quit while they're ahead. However, the singer also admits that they might be a fool for thinking this way.
The second stanza talks about the obstacles that people face and how it's only May, meaning that there's still time for things to change. The singer suggests that there's no easy way out, but the journey ahead is long enough to take their time. The singer also admits that they might be foolish for believing that things will work out, but they don't believe it's true that the person is finished.
The last stanza talks about how it takes strength to make it through another holiday, but the singer is free from the burden of New Year's Eves. The lyrics are poetic and open to interpretation, but they seem to be about the struggles of life and the hope that things can get better.
Line by Line Meaning
No matter how far
No matter how distant or unreachable the goal is
You don't even need to see straight
You don't need any external guidance or support to achieve it
You're an excellent shot
You have the ability to hit the target with precision
At hitting yourself in the foot
But unfortunately, you tend to make self-destructive choices that sabotage your own success
Maybe sit this one out
So maybe this time, you should opt out of the situation
I'll hold my breath while you breathe out
I'll wait patiently while you make your decision
You're in excellent shape
You are highly capable of succeeding
Of quitting this while you're ahead
But it's better to quit at a good point rather than proceeding further and failing
And maybe I'm a fool
And maybe I'm naive or foolish
But I don't believe it's true
But I don't believe what others are saying about you or the situation
And as for what they say
And as for what others are saying
And as for what stands in your way
And as for the obstacles you are facing
And as for Winter
And as for the difficult times or challenges you are going through
It is only May
It's just a temporary phase and it will pass soon
The next exit is no way out
Even though there are options available, they might not lead to a satisfactory solution
The bridge ahead is long enough
The path to success is challenging and requires patience
For you and I to take our sweet time on
But we can take our own time to tackle it without rushing
And maybe I'm a fool
And maybe I'm oversimplifying the situation
But I don't believe it's true
But I don't believe that the situation is hopeless
And maybe I'm a fool
And maybe I'm foolish for thinking this way
But I don't believe you're through
But I don't believe that you have reached the end of your potential or that you can't succeed
And as for what it takes
And as for the effort or sacrifices required
To make it through another holiday
To survive another challenging situation
For the rest of your New Year's Eves I'm free
I'm free to celebrate my future New Year's Eves without being worried about this particular situation
