Anything
Neve Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't wait on you no more
'Cause I've been guided by a private semaphore
And while you think I live in greed
I always make sure you get everything you need

I won't feel free
Until there is reprieve
You see there is no truth

To your belief

CHORUS:
You won't get anything anything from me
You won't get anything anything from me
I won't take everything everything I need
But you won't get anything anything from me

So go ahead and live it up
'Cause you don't want to know what I've been thinking of
You drink away 'till you can't feel
Well now's the time, now's when it's for real

You're out of phase
'Cause you wanted to be
Tripped out in a daze
But don't you want to be free
For when it all comes 'round again
Sometime?

You won't get anything anything from me
You won't get anything anything from me
You don't say anything you just sit there and you grieve
But you won't get anything

You won't get anything anything from me
You won't get anything anything from me

You don't say anything you just sit and disagree
You won't get anything anything from me

Overall Meaning

The song "Anything" by Neve seems to be about the end of a relationship, where one person has been giving their all to the other, but now refuses to continue doing so. The first verse talks about how the singer has been guided by a "private semaphore" which could be interpreted as an internal signal that they have had enough. They have been accused of greed, but they always made sure their partner had everything they need. In the chorus, the singer is telling their former partner that they won't be getting anything from them. They won't take everything they need, but neither will they continue to give to their partner who doesn't appreciate it. The second verse is directed at the former partner, telling them to go ahead and live it up, but they don't want to know what the singer has been thinking of. Perhaps the things that the former partner has been doing have been hurtful or damaging. The bridge talks about how the former partner is out of phase, wanting to be tripped out in a daze, but the singer wants to be free. The song ends with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the fact that the former partner won't be getting anything from the singer anymore, but they also won't get any satisfaction from disagreeing with them.

Overall, the song seems to be about the end of a one-sided relationship, where one person has been giving their all and the other person hasn't been appreciating it. The singer has reached a point where they don't want to continue giving anymore and won't be giving anything further. There seems to be a sense of bitterness and hurt, with the repeated chorus emphasizing the fact that the former partner won't be getting anything from them.

Line by Line Meaning

I won't wait on you no more
I won't continue to put my life on hold for you

'Cause I've been guided by a private semaphore
I've been guided by my own intuition and inner voice

And while you think I live in greed
You assume I am selfish and only think of myself

I always make sure you get everything you need
But in reality, I always make sure you are taken care of and have all that you need

I won't feel free
I won't feel truly free and able to be my authentic self

Until there is reprieve
Until I am free from your expectations and judgments

You see there is no truth
You believe things about me that are not true

To your belief
And this is not fair or accurate

You won't get anything anything from me
I am done giving to you and allowing you to take advantage of me

You won't get anything anything from me
I am standing up for myself and my own needs

I won't take everything everything I need
But I won't take more than what I deserve and require for myself

But you won't get anything anything from me
You don't have the right to expect or demand from me anymore

So go ahead and live it up
You can do whatever you want

'Cause you don't want to know what I've been thinking of
Because you wouldn't like or understand my true thoughts and feelings

You drink away 'till you can't feel
You numb yourself with alcohol and other things to avoid dealing with your own issues

Well now's the time, now's when it's for real
But it's time for you to face reality and take responsibility for your own life

You're out of phase
You are not in sync with the rest of the world and what's happening around you

'Cause you wanted to be
Because you chose to distance yourself and live in your own world

Tripped out in a daze
You are disconnected and not fully present in your own life

But don't you want to be free
But deep down, don't you want to be truly free and happy?

For when it all comes 'round again
For when life comes full circle and you have to face the consequences of your actions

Sometime?
Will you be ready and willing to face that reality?

You won't get anything anything from me
I am done sacrificing myself for you

You won't get anything anything from me
I am taking back control and ownership of my life

You don't say anything you just sit there and you grieve
You don't communicate or show any effort to improve our relationship, you just sit in sadness and regret

But you won't get anything
But that's not enough for me to continue giving to you

You won't get anything anything from me
I am setting boundaries and standing strong in my decision to change our dynamic
