Evelyn
Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mind,
If your hands a little cold.
Cause I'm alive,
But I got no way to go.

So stay with me Evelyn.
Don't leave me with a medicine.
In the night
As you sit and watch me sleep
I know you cry
But I never want to see.
So if you go
I don't know what to do.
So don't you go
Cause I've got no one but you.

So stay with me Evelyn.
Don't leave me with a medicine.
Don't leave me with a medicine.

I see the lights
Casting shadows on my screen.
And I don't mind
The lullabies from the machines.
But if you go
I don't know what I'll do.
So don't you go
Cause I've got no one but you.

So stay with me Evelyn.
Don't leave me with a medicine.
Don't leave me with a medicine.





I'm more afraid than I've ever been,
So stay with me Evelyn

Overall Meaning

The song "Evelyn" by Hurts expresses a feeling of fear and desperation for the presence of someone important. The opening lines talk about not minding a little discomfort, as long there is someone around to be with. The person talking is alive, but doesn't have any purpose, as there is nowhere to go. The lyrics explicate that the person talking is scared of being left alone, especially because they know that the other person cries in their absence. The chorus, "So stay with me Evelyn. Don't leave me with medicine" pleads Evelyn to stay, as the singer doesn't want to be left with only medicine to cope up with their fear and anxiety.


Subsequently, the lyrics talk about the machines that surround the singer, casting shadows on their screen, and lulling them to sleep. However, there is still a lack of peace within them. The singer admits that they are more afraid than they have ever been in their life. The song concludes with the same request to stay, emphasizing the urgency and the importance of this request to Evelyn. In these lyrics, Hurts explores the idea of love and companionship, and the fear of being alone, which is a universal human longing.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't mind,
I am okay with your affection, despite it may not always be ideal.


If your hands a little cold.
Even if you are not perfect, I am grateful for your presence in my life.


Cause I'm alive,
I am grateful to be breathing and experiencing life, but also feeling lost.


But I got no way to go.
I feel purposeless and directionless in life, with no clear path to follow.


So stay with me Evelyn.
Please do not leave me alone to face the uncertainty of life.


Don't leave me with a medicine.
I do not want to rely on pills or other forms of medication to find happiness or solace.


In the night
During the quietest moments of my existence.


As you sit and watch me sleep
While you remain awake by my side, keeping watch over me.


I know you cry
I am aware of your pain and suffering, even if you try to hide it.


But I never want to see.
I love you too much to see you in any sort of distress.


So if you go
In the event that you leave me behind.


I don't know what to do.
I cannot fathom living without you by my side.


So don't you go
Please do not abandon me, or I will crumble apart.


Cause I've got no one but you.
I am isolated and without support or companionship, except for you.


I see the lights
I sense the artificial glow of technology in my surroundings.


Casting shadows on my screen.
The screens in my life may not always show me the truth.


And I don't mind
Despite the negative aspects of technology, I am able to cope with them.


The lullabies from the machines.
The monotonous, mechanical sounds somewhat comfort me.


I'm more afraid than I've ever been,
I am consumed with a greater sense of fear and uncertainty than I have experienced before.

Hurts

I don't mind
If your hands are a little cold
Cause I'm alive
But I got no way to go

So stay with me, Evelyn
Don't leave me with a medicine

In the night
As you sit and watch me sleep
I know you cry
But I never want to see

So if you go
And I don't know what to do
So don't you go
'Cause I've got no one but you

So stay with me, Evelyn
Don't leave me with a medicine
So stay with me, Evelyn
Don't leave me with a medicine

I see the lights
Casting shadows on my screen
And I don't mind
The lullabies from the machines

But if you go
I don't know what I'll do
So don't you go
'Cause I've got no one but you

So stay with me, Evelyn
Don't leave me with a medicine
So stay with me, Evelyn
Don't leave me

I'm more afraid than I've ever been
So stay with me, Evelyn
