Shiver
N.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bird's got half a chance
There's nothing to it
Simple as 69
There's something else down the line
Call in your sweetheart
Standing in the welfare line
Cause it's right
And wrong
At the same time
There's words to a song
But they don't rhyme
You shiver shake Shiver shake
Shiver shiver shake
This daddy is loaded
Spring will well be in bloom
One two three two
This daddy . . .
What do we do
1, 2, 3, 2!
Cause you're right
And wrong
At the same time
There's words to the song
But they don't rhyme
Once upon a time there was a sing
This song it doesn't do anything
It just sits there
And looks at you
With those eyes
Over and over
And over
And over again
You shiver shake
Yeh shiver shake
Shiver shiver shiver shake!
The lyrics in "Shiver" by N.I. have a surreal quality to them and can be interpreted in several ways. The opening lines refer to a new dance that is simple to do, implying that anything new can be easy to learn. The line "a bird's got half a chance" seems to suggest that life is unpredictable and one can only hope for the best. The following lines "There's something else down the line, call in your sweetheart, standing in the welfare line" suggests two things: first, that something good may be coming down the line, and second, that even when things are tough, there is someone you can always turn to.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song and features the lines "shiver shake" repeatedly. This might indicate a feeling of discomfort or unease, as if the singer is unsettled or uncertain about something. The line "you shiver shake" could be interpreted as referring to a physical reaction to something or a metaphorical one.
The ending lines, "Once upon a time there was a song, this song it doesn't do anything, it just sits there and looks at you with those eyes, over and over and over and over again" are cryptic but seem to suggest that the song itself is somewhat pointless or repetitive.

There's a brand new dance
There is a new dance move
A bird's got half a chance
The new dance move is simple enough for anyone to try
There's nothing to it
The dance move is easy to learn
Simple as 69
The dance move is as easy as the sexual position 69
There's something else down the line
Something else is happening in the future
Call in your sweetheart
Get your loved one involved in what's happening
Standing in the welfare line
There are struggles and hardships to overcome
Cause it's right
The situation feels right
And wrong
But there may be some moral conflict
At the same time
Both feelings of right and wrong are present together
There's words to a song
There is a song with lyrics
But they don't rhyme
The lyrics don't follow a traditional rhyme scheme
You shiver shake Shiver shake
You are dancing and shaking
Shiver shiver shake
Continuation of the dance
This daddy is loaded
Someone is wealthy and powerful
Spring will well be in bloom
The season of spring is coming
One two three two
Counting down to something
What do we do
Asking what the plan is
Cause you're right
The situation still feels right
And wrong
But there is still some moral conflict
At the same time
Both feelings of right and wrong are present together
There's words to the song
The song with lyrics is still present
But they don't rhyme
The lyrics still don't follow a traditional rhyme scheme
Once upon a time there was a sing
A story is beginning
This song it doesn't do anything
The song is not really significant
It just sits there
The song does nothing
And looks at you
But it is still present and noticed
With those eyes
The song seems to have an all-seeing presence
Over and over
The song repeats itself
And over
Again and again
And over again
Continued repetition
You shiver shake
The dancing and shaking continues
Yeh shiver shake
Continuation of the dance
Shiver shiver shiver shake!
The dance intensifies and continues
