Everybody
Hot Since 82 feat. Black Box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't belong to me, I let you down
I walk around 'n' see your night skyline
I feel the light but you don't want to stay
So lonely now, just let me off downtown
Sad and free, sad and free
Sad and free, sad and free

When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
Won't be long for I'm leaving all my love
But I'll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
You can call that no livin' on my own, so free

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Oh, everybody
Oh, everybody
Everybody
Oh, everybody
Oh, everybody

You took me easy and then let me go
I never was, you see, that cheatin' kind
You feel all right, you never looked for me
So long, it's time, I've gotta get on by
Sad and free, sad and free
Sad and free, sad and free

When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
Won't be long for I'm leaving all my love
But I'll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
You can call that no livin' on my own, so free

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
(Repeat above over next verse)

Oh, everybody
Oh, everybody
Everybody, oh everybody
Oh, everybody
Everybody
Oh, everybody
Oh, everybody
Everybody
Everybody

When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
Won't be long for I'm leaving all my love
But I'll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
You can call that no livin' on my own, so free





Everybody

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hot Since 82 feat. Black Box's song "Everybody" seem to be about a relationship that has ended and the aftermath that follows. The singer expresses their remorse for letting their partner down and feeling lonely now that their partner has left. The phrase "so lonely now, just let me off downtown" suggests that the singer is feeling lost and wants to escape the city they are in. The repetition of "sad and free" throughout the song further adds to the sense of isolation and freedom that the singer is feeling.


The chorus of the song, "everybody, everybody, everybody" suggests that the singer is not alone in their feelings, and that everyone experiences heartbreak at some point. This is reinforced by the last line of the song, "you can call that no livin' on my own, so free", which suggests that while the singer may feel alone, they are actually part of a larger group of people who have experienced similar feelings.


Overall, the song's lyrics seem to be a reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the different emotions that come with them. The singer is acknowledging the pain of a breakup, but also the sense of freedom that can come from being single.


Line by Line Meaning

You won't belong to me, I let you down
I have failed to meet your expectations and as a result our relationship has ended


I walk around 'n' see your night skyline
I am reminded of the beautiful moments we shared together


I feel the light but you don't want to stay
I still have feelings for you, but you have moved on and don't wish to reconcile


So lonely now, just let me off downtown
I am experiencing a sense of emptiness and I want to be alone to deal with it


Sad and free, sad and free
I am sad about the end of our relationship, but I am now free to pursue other opportunities


When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
When I told you I wanted to end things, it hurt you deeply


Won't be long for I'm leaving all my love
I am ready to move on and leave behind the love we once shared


But I'll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
The memories of our love will stay with me forever and I will always carry them with me, even in silence


You can call that no livin' on my own, so free
Even though I am free to live my life without you, it doesn't necessarily mean I am happy or content


Everybody
Even though our love has ended, there are many others who are experiencing similar heartbreak and loneliness
