Hello Hello
Jens O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, it′s me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time′s supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I′ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There′s such a difference between us
And a million miles

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I′ve done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I′m sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn′t tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you
It's so typical of me to talk about myself I'm sorry
I hope that you′re well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened

It′s no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time

So hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I′ve done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I′m sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn′t tear you apart anymore

(Highs highs highs highs
Lows lows lows lows)

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I′ve tried




To tell you I′m sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn′t tear you apart anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jens O.'s song "Hello Hello" convey a sense of longing, regret, and a desire for connection and reconciliation. The opening lines set the tone, as the singer wonders if, after all these years, the person they are addressing would be willing to meet and discuss everything that has happened. The mention of time as a healer suggests that there may have been past wounds and issues that the singer has not been able to recover from.


The chorus, "Hello from the other side, I must have called a thousand times, to tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done, but when I call you never seem to be home," highlights the repeated attempts by the singer to reach out and apologize, but their efforts have been in vain as the person they are addressing never seems to be available. This further emphasizes the theme of longing and a lack of closure.


The verse "It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry, I hope that you're well, did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened" reveals a self-awareness of the singer's tendency to center themselves in conversations. They express remorse and inquire about the other person's well-being, indicating a genuine concern for their former companion's life and experiences.


Overall, "Hello Hello" explores the complexities of relationships, regret, and the longing for reconciliation. It reflects on the pain caused by past actions and the difficulties of communication. The lyrics capture a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when both parties were younger and free, while also acknowledging that time is running out for any chance of repair.
