Woe To You Lover
Hollywood Nobody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too late praying for the clouded sky
Searching something's not there
Hurricane's not there but in your heart
You feel too much it shattered
Your homes and your trees and every little pieces
To you and your heart your every little pieces

They sing ooh
In your love your salvation's gone
In your love your own shadow dies
Little moon holler remind you of the stars
They can tell you a secret
As long as you're down on your knees
Pouring your heart out crying
Your pride and your veins and every little pieces
To you and your heart, your every little pieces

They sing ooh
In your love your salvation's gone
In your love your own shadow dies
In your love your nightmare remains
In your love your last vein stops beating
Your pride and your veins and every little pieces
To you and your heart, your every little pieces

They sing ooh
In your love your salvation's gone
In your love your own shadow dies
In your love your nightmare remains
In your love your last vein stops beating

The tree's claping their every leaves, you see?
Woeing for your stories




Got tripped down and tricked to the last
How come you didn't notice?

Overall Meaning

The song "Woe To You Lover" by Hollywood Nobody is a haunting and introspective ballad about the pain and devastation of lost love. The lyrics are beautiful yet mournful, describing the feeling of being lost and alone after a love that once seemed so perfect has fallen apart. The song begins with the image of a clouded sky, conveying a sense of despair and uncertainty. The singer then searches for something that they know is missing, perhaps a sense of belonging or purpose. They feel the turmoil of the hurricane in their heart, even though it is not physically present, and it has shattered their homes, trees and every other little piece of their life.


The chorus seems to offer a glimmer of hope, with the suggestion that the singer's salvation and shadow will return once they let go of their love. However, this feeling of hope is quickly replaced by a sense of despair as the nightmare of lost love remains and their pride, veins and every little piece of their being is shattered. The final verse indicates that even nature itself is mourning the loss of this love, as trees rustle and whisper their stories of love lost. The singer is left wondering how they could have been so blind to the signs that this love was doomed from the start.


Overall, "Woe To You Lover" is a powerful and emotional song that delves deep into the complexities of love and heartbreak. It speaks to anyone who has ever experienced the pain of lost love and provides comfort in the understanding that this pain is universal.
