Shivers
Netrum & Halvorsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It started out on a Wednesday and I
Couldn′t figure out why you would be mad at me
Ooh-woah
You say it's nothing, but it never ever drained, it′s just like that
It's always whatever,
Anyway every time we try to talk I am out of here everyday
It's always something, but we never ever change, it′s just like that
I get the shivers
Whenever I′m thinking about you
Just wanna leave and live without you
Be on my own again
I get the shivers
Whenever you go out of line, yeah
I feel it creeping down my spine, yeah
Wanna be alone again

It's almost nighttime waiting for the right time
Gotta get this right I′m scared of death
Scared of your eyes looking into my eyes
Scared that I'll let out and hold my breathe

Wake up one morning and see your face,
I can feel it coming back, these shivers are everyday
Ooh-woah
I say it′s over I get out of bed to leave, yeah just like that

I got the shivers
Whenever I would think about you
Now that I left I live without you
I'm on my own again
I got the shivers
Whenever you went out of line, yeah




Now like everything is fine, yeah
′Cause now I'm alone again

Overall Meaning

In Netrum & Halvorsen's song Shivers, the singer recounts a tumultuous relationship that has finally come to an end. The song suggests that the relationship was riddled with arguments, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings, and that the singer was constantly walking on eggshells, never quite sure when the next dispute would arise. The opening lines of the song set the scene: "It started out on a Wednesday and I / Couldn't figure out why you would be mad at me." From there, the singer describes how it always seems like there's something keeping them from truly connecting ("It's always something, but we never ever change"). Despite this, the singer is still drawn to their ex-partner and experiences "shivers" whenever they think of them. However, the song ends on a note of liberation, as the singer has finally left the relationship behind and is "on [their] own again."


The use of the word "shivers" is a recurring theme throughout the lyrics of the song. While the shivers could be interpreted as a metaphor for the lingering emotions the singer still feels for their ex-partner, they also serve as a literal description of the physical sensations one might experience when feeling anxious or scared. This layering of meaning adds depth to the song and makes it more relatable to listeners who have experienced a similar emotional state.


Overall, Shivers is a heartfelt, emotionally charged song that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the sometimes-painful process of moving on.
