Her Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me make a summary of what I've felt up to now
When is the first time you started to keep in touch with me?
Your waking life is not what it seems
Thinking every piece that coming out of you, all the time
And nowadays I rename my name
It is not because I want you to forget days with me, that's my job
I hope to find and know the way to close
I don't even need your words, don't even need your tears
But tonight,




I feel like crying at the sight of you
I feel like crying at the sight of you

Overall Meaning

The song "Her" by the band Her is a heart-wrenching ballad about a recent breakup. The lyrics are written from the perspective of someone who is struggling to move on from the relationship and make sense of the emotions they are feeling. The singer begins by summarizing their feelings up until this point, conveying a sense of confusion and introspection. They then ask when their ex first started to keep in touch with them, suggesting that this may have been a pivotal moment in the relationship.


The second verse takes a turn, with the singer suggesting that there was something deeper going on beneath the surface of their relationship. They imply that their ex's "waking life is not what it seems" and that they were constantly questioning every word and action. This sense of paranoia is compounded by the fact that the singer has since changed their name, hoping that their ex will forget about the time they spent together. However, despite trying to move on, the singer admits that they still feel a deep attachment to their ex. The final line, "I feel like crying at the sight of you," sums up the raw emotion of the song and the singer's struggle to let go.


Overall, "Her" is a powerful song that captures the complex emotions and experiences that come with a breakup. The lyrics blend introspection with raw emotion, creating a relatable and moving experience for listeners.
