Every Word
Hybrid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Colour my heart in the shade of yours
Safe in my mind is my choice
Watching the shades change to blue and green
See all the things that I know you've seen

Sometimes I run away
But sometimes I just want to stay
Sometimes I just want days
Where I'm watching every word you say

Straight ahead as fast as I can run
Wild horses beckon me to come
Open the doors and let the wind blow in
Finding the place that I've always been

Sometimes I run away
Sometimes I just want to stay
Sometimes lately
I am watching every word you say




I am watching every word you say
I am watching every word you say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hybrid's "Every Word" suggest a sense of surrender and unity, as the singer longs to connect with someone who understands them on a deeper level. The first two lines, "Colour my heart in the shade of yours / Safe in my mind is my choice," imply a willingness to blend and merge with this person, both emotionally and intellectually, while also asserting the importance of personal agency and boundaries. This duality is reinforced in the following line, "Watching the shades change to blue and green / See all the things that I know you've seen," which suggests a shared experience of the beauty and complexity of life, even as each person retains their unique perspective.


The chorus emphasizes the singer's conflicting desires to run away or stay and listen closely to the other person's words. These lines, "Sometimes I run away / But sometimes I just want to stay / Sometimes I just want days / Where I'm watching every word you say," suggest a certain amount of fear or uncertainty in the singer's mind, as they try to navigate the push and pull of their emotions. However, the repetition of the phrase "watching every word you say" suggests that ultimately, the singer values this connection and wants to hold onto it as tightly as they can.


The second verse shifts the tone somewhat, as the imagery becomes more wild and free. The first two lines, "Straight ahead as fast as I can run / Wild horses beckon me to come," suggest a sense of adventure and possibility, as the singer is drawn toward new experiences. However, this sense of freedom is tempered by the desire to find a place of belonging and authenticity. The lines "Open the doors and let the wind blow in / Finding the place that I've always been" suggest that the singer's search for connection and understanding is not just about finding someone else, but also about discovering their own true self.


Overall, the lyrics of "Every Word" suggest a complex mix of emotions, including longing, uncertainty, and a desire for connection and self-discovery. The use of imagery, such as the changing shades of color and the wild horses, adds depth and richness to the lyrics, while the repetition of certain phrases reinforces the central themes of the song.
