Together Forever
Hana Pestle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could not hide 'cause he knew me
He looked right through me
When I looked away and I held on
But inside I felt my needs
I could not breath, I could not think
As I faded away

Well, you love me

And you need me
And we'll always be together forever

Then the leaves fall
And snow comes
Our hands warm the others
I could not see anyone around me
As my eyes were cloudy

Well, you love me
And you need me
And we'll always be together forever
Well, I love you and I need you

I don't feel the same
But I don't know what about
And I just feel cloudy
Like I don't know
Anything anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore

Well, you love me
And you need me

And we'll always be together forever
Well, I love you and I need you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hana Pestle's song "Together Forever" seems to be about the struggle of a relationship that is not working out. The singer could not hide from her partner because he knew her too well, and even when she tried to look away and hold on, he could see through her. She was feeling her needs, but it seemed like her partner couldn't understand her or wasn't meeting her halfway. She was fading away and feeling unable to breathe and think clearly.

However, despite the turmoil in their relationship, they still had a powerful connection. The singer acknowledges that her partner loves her and needs her, and she reciprocates those feelings even though something has changed, and she doesn't feel the same anymore. She feels cloudy and confused, not knowing what exactly went wrong or what to do next. Nevertheless, she knows that they'll be together forever, and they'll continue to work on their relationship.

Overall, this song captures the complexity of a relationship that's in trouble, where both partners still love and need each other but are struggling to communicate and connect. It's a poignant reminder that relationships take work and that even the strongest connections can wane over time.

Line by Line Meaning

I could not hide 'cause he knew me
I was unable to conceal myself because he knew me so well

He looked right through me
He was able to see straight through me

When I looked away and I held on
Despite my attempts to look away, I held onto my feelings

But inside I felt my needs
Internally, I was aware of my emotional requirements

I could not breath, I could not think
I found it difficult to breathe and focus

As I faded away
I began to disappear

Then the leaves fall
The leaves fall from the trees

And snow comes
Snow begins to fall

Our hands warm the others
We hold each other's hands to keep warm

I could not see anyone around me
I was unable to spot anyone around me

As my eyes were cloudy
My vision was unclear due to cloudiness in my eyes
