Hey Ya
Julia Zahra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure.
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door.
Don't try to fight the feeling
thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how...
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But you just don't get it
'Til there's nothing at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes,
Then what makes
love the exception
So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you always so in denial
When you know we're not happy here...
And now we're singing
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Now we're singing
Hey.ya.
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Now we're singing
hey.ya
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Now we're singing
hey.ya
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (oh oh)
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake, shake it
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
Hey... ya.
Hey ya.
The lyrics of Julia Zahra's song "Hey Ya" describe the complexity of a romantic relationship, particularly one with conflicting emotions. The first verse describes the singer’s partner as loving her deeply, but also not wanting her to leave, indicating that there may be some insecurity or possessiveness in the relationship. This is reinforced by the second verse, where the singer explains that being apart may be a better option when strong emotions are involved, but questioning why people stay in unhappy relationships.
The chorus is repetitive, but it serves the purpose of emphasizing the central message of the song, which is that relationships can be both challenging and rewarding. The repetition of the phrases “Hey ya” and “Shake it, shake it, shake it” represent the idea of moving on, despite feelings of uncertainty.
Overall, the song suggests that love is not always easy, but it can be worth fighting for. It highlights the importance of honesty, communication, and being true to oneself in relationships.
