Watch Over Me
Hanson(핸슨) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never bothers to ask why the mirror sheds no light at all
The days turn into lesser days until there's only night
The light it wouldn't help she's too far gone
Her time is up it's five o'clock
It never stops
And she says please, watch over me
I watch her slowly make her way
Down on a road she shouldn't take
She always ends where she began
The years go by, they're adding up
She clicks her heels but she's still stuck
She's giving in but won't give up she'll never stop
And she says please, and she says please
And she says please, watch over me
And she says please, and she is,
On her knees and she begs and she pleads
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
She counts the time 'til her heart breaks
Just waiting for her next mistake
And I said please, and she says please
And she says please, watch over me
On her knees and she begs and she pleads she says
Please, and she says please and she says please watch over me
She counts the time 'til her heart breaks
Just waiting for her next mistake
Don't give up I know you've stopped believing
And you're down and you're begging you're pleading
Don't give up cause you're not too far gone
The lyrics to Hanson's song "Watch Over Me" paint a picture of a woman who is trapped in a cycle of monotony and despair. She wakes up every day and follows the same routine, not questioning why her reflection in the mirror shines no light. The days blend together until there's only night, and the darkness swallows her. Time ticks by, unrelentingly, as she pleads desperately for someone to watch over her. She tries to move forward but always finds herself back where she started.
As the years pass, she becomes increasingly stuck, clicking her heels but unable to break free. She gives in, but she won't give up. She begs and pleads for help, her heart breaking with each passing moment. The message of the song is one of perseverance, urging the woman to not give up hope, even when she feels like she's reached the edge of a cliff.
The lyrics are powerful and relatable to anyone who has ever felt trapped or hopeless. They acknowledge the pain and despair that can come with feeling stuck, but they also offer a message of hope and encouragement.

Don't give up cause you're not too far gone
There's still hope for a better future, and she shouldn't give up just yet
