Lover
Marike Jager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You cover all your lies
Floating away to silent endings
Hiding your cry
Won't you please tell your lover to come over
Won't you please tell your lover to come by
It always feels so good
When the season started calling
Changing your mood
Won't you please tell your lover to come over
Won't you please tell your lover to come by
Everybody's looking at you now
Ain't it wise to show them how you love
And why it's burning
Maybe it's blue, it might be covered up in cold
But take the chance and make it shine on him
Won't you please tell your lover to come over
Won't you please tell your lover to come by
Marike Jager's song "Lover" is a heartfelt plea for honesty and vulnerability in a relationship that is clouded by lies and hidden emotions. The opening lyrics "Don't you think it's time to stop pretending, you cover all your lies" sets the tone for the song, which is a call to action for the singer to open up to their lover and put an end to the facade that they have been living. The idea of "floating away to silent endings, hiding your cry" represents the sadness and isolation that comes with keeping secrets and not being truthful with oneself and others.
The chorus of the song, with the repeated lines "Won't you please tell your lover to come over, won't you please tell your lover to come by" is a simple yet powerful plea for connection and intimacy. The singer is desperate for their lover to come and bridge the gap that has been created by their lack of honesty and openness.
The final verse of the song, with the lines "Everybody's looking at you now, ain't it wise to show them how you love, and why it's burning" is a poignant reminder that relationships are not just about the two people involved - they are also about the community that surrounds them. By being truthful and vulnerable with their lover, the singer has the opportunity to show others what it means to love and be loved.
Overall, "Lover" is a beautifully crafted song that speaks to the universal desire for honesty, vulnerability, and intimacy in all our relationships.
