Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But then you looked the other way
I’m comin’ in and out of style
Oh baby please change the dial
You said you wanted take it slow
But now you order it to go
If how you treat me is a gage
I think its time to turn the page
Let you go (oh baby)
Let you go (oh baby)
I have so much you wanna say
But you’re just drivin’ me away
You said to close my eyes and blow
I wish that you will ever know
I saw you with another guy
So many other reasons why
This situations getting’ low
I think I have to let it go
I don’t want to beg
But you are stuck inside my head
There’s nothing left I haven’t tried
I think I should get off this ride
Let you go –heyyyy-(oh baby)
Let you go – heyy heyy-(oh baby)- heyy heyy heyyy
Let you go – heyyyy- (oh baby)
Let you go – heyy heyy-(oh baby)- heyy heyy heyyy
You said you wanted me to stay
But then you looked the other way
I’m comin’ in and out of style
Oh baby please change the dial
I saw you with another guy
So many other reasons why
This situations getting’ low
And I just have to let you go
I don’t want to beg
But you are stuck inside my head
There’s nothing left I haven’t tried
I think I should get off this ride
The song “Hundredaire” by Hey Willpower seems to be about the end of a romantic relationship, with the singer feeling conflicted and overwhelmed by their emotions. The opening lines suggest that the singer's partner has been sending mixed signals- they said they wanted the relationship to continue but then looked "the other way" when the singer was present. The singer also feels like they are falling out of favor ("I'm comin' in and out of style") and that their partner isn't treating them well ("If how you treat me is a gauge, I think it's time to turn the page"). They seem to be struggling with the decision to end the relationship, but are ultimately resigned to it ("I think I have to let it go").
The chorus repeats the phrase "let you go" over and over, emphasizing the singer's feelings of wanting to move on, but also the difficulty they are having in doing so. The second verse is more introspective, with the singer acknowledging that they have been trying everything to save the relationship but nothing seems to be working ("There's nothing left I haven't tried"). They repeat the idea of being "stuck inside my head" as a way of conveying how much the end of the relationship is weighing on them emotionally.
Overall, "Hundredaire" is a poignant meditation on the end of a relationship and the fallout that comes with it. The lyrics are straightforward but effective in conveying the singer's emotional state, and the repetition of the chorus lends a sense of urgency to the song as a whole.
