Evelene
Kid Freud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you think that you're being a little bit mean?
Come on and tell me what's wrong
Instead of taking it out on me
Evelene,
Tell me what is the view like from way up there.
Can you feel the wind sweep through your hair?
Ooo are you happy alone?
Porcelain rim for a throne...
But down your pride and pick up your life
Evelene,
You reached your peak when you were sixteen
Throwing daggers for words
Rubbing elbows with kings
Evelene,
Tell me what is the view like from way so high
Open your eyes to the dead of the night
Time to wake up
Ooo are you happy alone?
Porcelain rim for a throne...
But down your pride and pick up your life
You're a lot like me
E-e-e-evelene
Everybody gets a little high up sometimes
I'm just ready to come down
Pick any mask you want
We'll act like fools who aren't scared of the outcome
You make me wanna not care
Quit telling me I'm not ready at all
Not ready...
The song "Evelene" by Kid Freud highlights the concern that the singer has for a person named Evelene. The singer feels like Evelene is being a little bit mean to him and others, and rather than lashing out, he encourages her to explain what's wrong. The lyrics imply that Evelene is living the dream, just looking down on everyone else from her high position. However, the singer believes that Evelene has reached her peak at sixteen and is now rubbing elbows with kings, throwing daggers for words. The song urges her to come down from her porcelain rimmed throne and pick up her life, wake up and not be alone.
The chorus repeats multiple times in the song where the singer asks Evelene if she is happy alone, sitting on a throne with a porcelain rim. He urges her to break down her pride and pick up her life. The lyrics indicate that the singer sees a reflection of himself in Evelene, and he wants to come down from his high too. He is ready to take off his mask, act like a fool and stop caring about the outcome. The song ends with the singer telling Evelene to stop telling him he's not ready and that he's ready to come down.
