Everybody
My Nu Leng Feat. Fox Lyrics

The lyrics to the song "Everybody" by My Nu Leng ft. Fox delve deep into themes of confusion, betrayal, and lost trust. The use of rhetorical questions throughout the song suggest that the singer has been hurt and is questioning the motives of the people who have caused this pain. The opening line "Pointless offers, why'd you tear and mend it twice?" indicates that someone had offered something of value but then chose to break it, fix it and then break it again. This suggests a lack of reliability and the singer feels that they have been let down.

The line "We're not safe in numbers anymore" implies that there was once a time where there was a sense of community and safety, but now that sense of security has fallen away. The singer knows that they have let things slide and now they are questioning who supports this kind of violence. Throughout the song, the singer is trying to make sense of what has happened and is determined to get to the bottom of it.

The chorus "Everybody's down, had I known it'd be lies, I would have made a sound, half-hearted, nearly blind" presents the idea that everyone around the singer is suffering and they wish they had been able to see what was happening earlier. The use of repetition in the lines "How long, how long?" creates a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer is seeking closure and wants to know how long this pain will last.
