Shiver
Lucy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything that was right
We both enjoyed a good fight
And we solved
All the holes we had to breathe
To make the other one leave
And I loved the way you looked at me
When we were alone
When we were alone
And I'll shiver like I used to
And I'll leave him just for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
Just for you
And we stole
Every moment we had to make the other one feel bad
And we hoped that we could be what we knew
It never turned out to be real
And I loved the way you looked at me
And I miss the way you made me feel
When we were alone
When we were alone
And I'll shiver like I used to
And I'll leave him just for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
Just for you
And if we turn back time
Could we learn to live right?
And if we turn back time
Could we learn to live right?
And if we turn back time
Could we learn to live right?
And if we turn back time
Could we learn?
And I'll shiver like I used to
And I'll leave him just for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
Just for you
Like I used to
Lucy Rose's song "Shiver" is a bittersweet ballad that explores the complexities of a tumultuous relationship. In the song, the singer reminisces about a past relationship that was both passionate and painful. "And we broke everything that was right," the singer admits in the first verse, suggesting that the couple's intense emotions often boiled over into destructive behavior. The couple enjoyed fighting, but their arguments also revealed the emotional wounds and insecurities that they both carried. They tried to patch up their relationship by filling in the "holes we had to breathe," but in the end, their love was not enough to overcome their issues.
The chorus of "Shiver" is a poignant reflection on the past. The singer remembers how much they loved the way their partner looked at them and how they felt when they were alone together. The line "And I'll shiver like I used to" suggests that the singer longs to feel that same intensity again, even if it means sacrificing their current relationship. The repetition of "just for you" emphasizes the power that their former lover still holds over them.
In the final verse, the singer wonders if they could have done things differently. "And if we turn back time, could we learn to live right?" they ask. This line suggests that the couple's behavior was driven by past traumas or unresolved issues. If they had been able to confront those issues and work through their problems, maybe they could have saved their relationship. But alas, they are left with only the memories of what could have been.

And we broke
We destroyed our relationship
Everything that was right
We ruined all that was good
We both enjoyed a good fight
We liked arguing with each other
And we solved
We fixed the issues we had in our relationship
All the holes we had to breathe
We fixed the problems that were suffocating us
To make the other one leave
So that one of us would eventually leave
And I loved the way you looked at me
I enjoyed the way you used to give me loving looks
And I miss the way you made me feel
I wish I could feel the way you made me feel again
When we were alone
When we were together in private
And I'll shiver like I used to
I'll feel the same fear and excitement again
And I'll leave him just for you
I'll end my relationship for you
And we stole
We took advantage of each other
Every moment we had to make the other one feel bad
We used every opportunity to hurt each other emotionally
And we hoped that we could be what we knew
We wanted to be the perfect pair we envisioned in our minds
It never turned out to be real
Our image of the perfect relationship was never achievable
And if we turn back time
If we could go back in the past
Could we learn to live right?
Could we make the right choices to live a better life?
And I'll shiver like I used to
I'll feel the same fear and excitement again
And I'll leave him just for you
I'll break up with my current partner for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
I'll feel the same fear and excitement again
Just for you
Only for you, the person I want to be with
Like I used to
Just like we used to feel about each other

"Shiver" is referring to that particular feeling similar of butterflies, that essence of comfort and warmth when you're deeply involved with someone else.
However, this is no simple romance.
Themes of a short-lived affair and heartbreaking nostalgia are brought forth based on the woman's melody and the lonely man strolling along in the video.
"And we broke everything that was right, we both enjoyed a good fight."
Notions of an affair is evident when she refers to breaking moral values. She was most likely married to another person under certain circumstances but she was willing to put up a "good fight" for the one that she truly loved.
"And we stole every moment we had to make the other one feel bad"
These nostalgic vintage scenes were these getaways that she had with her lover, these "moments" were the places that they both shared, alone together in romantic bliss.
"And I'll shiver like I used to-And I'll leave him just for you"
These lines reinforce the woman's desire to leave everything in exchange for experiencing that wonderful feeling of romance.
*Halfway through the song, subtle changes in tempo and repetition in the lyrics conclude the outcome of their relationship;
"And if we turn back time, Could we learn to live right"
Yes, she did experience this passionate romance with the guy but it was short lived and never lasted. By the lines "learn to live right" she and her lover made the mistake of not pulling through with their affair; to pursue their passionate romance. If they could turn back the clock, would they have been able to avoid that mistake and pursue happiness together despite complications and obstacles in their situation? A line from earlier on in the song help support the notion that they could not fulfill this passionate affair:
"And we hoped that we could be what we knew, It never turned out to be real"
They were both involved in this affair but knew in reality they could not stay together for long. Something was holding them both back; if the reason wasn't because the woman was married then it is most likely due to the possibilities of her already having children in her marriage.
The woman is singing from a place of romantic nostalgia and melancholic regret. The old man strolling through these scenes is her lover, the guy she could only spare a few moments of bliss with. He too is heartbroken, through all of his years he still comes by to the places and locations that he shared with her, the woman that he truly loved. Despite their complications in their relationship, she too still sings about and longs for that "shiver", that ecstasy of falling in love.
While it might have been years and years after, they still share the wonderful memories and feelings of what it means to be in love.
The crux: follow what your heart tells you, or else it will bleed with regret and depressing nostalgia.
Well, that's my interpretation anyways lol.
Great song, love Lucy's voice.
@davantiowo6519
Actually I think this is true. Up until now my own theory was.... Well dark?
So after playing this song again and again a few years ago, my own interpretation of the song was.... And bare with me here....
About the sexual relationship between a daughter and her father
I know, I know gross right, especially for a song as wholesome as this but hear me out.
The lines "and I'll shiver just for you" "when we were alone" says that when they were alone together, he'd ya know... Do stuff, and why would she shiver? Out of fear? or anxiety?
Of course it could be when a lover touch's you you'd shiver a little.
But the following line also adds questions.
"And I'll leave him just for you" what does she mean here? Will, now as an adult she leave her current lover to be with her dad again, to shiver like that again?
But after watching the MV again and reading ur comment I don't think my theory holds up. Just something I wanted to put out :-)
