Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna turn my back, right around on you
I'm gonna stop it right now, if you dare that I can
Send you right out the door, if you do it again
Try to understand, what's with all the lip
Not one to say, that we run a tight ship
It's come and go, ebb and flow, we give and we take
Sometimes it could be better with just a clean break
What'chu run to when there's no more fun and
How you gonna get when there's no one to take you
How you feel now, you bit more than you can chew
You don't appear to hear what anyone else says
You're in your own space now and it's become a mess
How bout you open up and look all around
Realize we're here together, not alone on the ground
Try to understand, what's with all the lip
Not one to say, that we run a tight ship
It's come and go, ebb and flow, we give and we take
Sometimes it could be better with just a clean break
Alarm bells are ringing in my head
Got up on the wrong side of bed
I don't care what you say or what you gonna do
I'm gonna turn my back, right around on you
What'chu gonna do when the past is coming
What'chu run to when there's no more fun and
How you gonna get when there's no one to take you
How you feel now, you bit more than you can chew
Alarm bells are ringing in my head
Got up on the wrong side of bed
What'chu gonna do when the past is coming
What'chu run to when there's no more fun and
How you gonna get when there's no one to take you
How you feel now, you bit more than you can chew
The lyrics of the song Bells by Hills and Valleys depict a situation where the singer is frustrated with someone who is not willing to listen to what they have to say. The opening line, "I don't care what you say or what you're gonna do, I'm gonna turn my back, right around on you" shows how the singer is ready to walk away from the situation. They are done with trying to make the other person understand their point of view, and they have had enough of the lip service.
Furthermore, the lyrics showcase the cyclical nature of life by saying, "It's come and go, ebb and flow, we give and we take." Sometimes it's better to end things with a clean break, and that's what the singer aims for, by wanting to "send you right out the door, if you do it again." The lines "Alarm bells are ringing in my head, Got up on the wrong side of bed" indicate that the singer is feeling anxious and tense due to the situation.
Moreover, the song addresses the repercussions of biting off more than one can chew. The lines "How you feel now, you bit more than you can chew" suggest that the other person is now regretting their actions. The song's central theme appears to be communication, as the singer is frustrated with the other person's inability to listen and consider their viewpoint.
