Her
Nick & Samantha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I need some room to grow
I wanna fly I wanna let go
Of Her
Mirrors lie so why do we try so hard to please them
When its just glass?
Reflecting back all the broken pieces
Hiding in the cracks
Flooding down my spine
Let me float away
I think I need to change
So I can be myself again
These wings are getting heavy...
Think I'm finally ready...
To let go
I wanna fly I wanna float
Addicted to the high I'm getting from the low
Like a bird in the sky wanna let go gotta let go
Of Her
I wanna fly I wanna float
Need to say goodbye to the past I know
Like a bird in the sky wanna let go
Gotta let go
Of Her (uh)
I fall in love to easily
Ain't nothing but my dreams and me
The mirror is my enemy
It's staring back unsteadily
No remedy it's just my head
Feeling alive and dead
You said this jealousy is centrally within our chemistry
So hit me take the shot but I miss that time when you're around
We were chilling in Notts so listen to the sound (to the sound)
Working for others do you make them proud? (make 'em proud)
I cut through I guess I'm healing now (healing now)
A waterfall inside
Flooding down my spine
Let me float away
I think I need to change
So I can be myself I think I'm finally ready....
To let go
I wanna fly I wanna float
Addicted to the high I'm getting from the low
Like a bird in the sky wanna let go gotta let go
Of Her
I wanna fly I wanna float
Need to say goodbye to the past I know
Like a bird in the sky wanna let go
Gotta let go
Of Her
I wanna fly I wanna float
Addicted to the high I'm getting from the low
Like a bird in the sky wanna let go gotta let go
Of Her
I wanna fly I wanna float
Need to say goodbye to the past I know
Like a bird in the sky wanna let go
Gotta let go
Of Her
Mirrors lie so why do we try so hard to please them
When it's just glass?
Reflecting back all the broken pieces hiding in the cracks
(Let me float away)
After all this time I'm ready
To let go
(Let me float away)
The lyrics of the song "Her" by Nick & Samantha & Chris Coco explore themes of feeling trapped, the desire for change and personal growth, and the struggle to break free from unhealthy patterns and relationships.
In the opening lines, the singer expresses a feeling of being trapped in their own home and the need for space to grow. They yearn to fly and let go of the constraints imposed by "Her." This could refer to a person, a toxic relationship, or even an internal struggle that is holding them back.
The verse suggests that mirrors are deceiving and do not accurately reflect reality. The singer questions why they try so hard to please others when it is just an illusion created by the reflection in the glass. The broken pieces hidden within the cracks represent the parts of themselves that they are trying to conceal. There is a sense of internal struggle, with a waterfall of emotions flooding down their spine.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a growing desire for change and the need to be themselves again. The weight of their metaphorical wings, representing the burdens they carry, is becoming too heavy. They declare their readiness to let go and embrace freedom. The reference to being addicted to the high they get from the low suggests they have become accustomed to toxic patterns and are seeking to break free from them.
The chorus reinforces this desire for liberation and transformation. They want to fly and float above the past, saying goodbye to the person or situation that is holding them back. The image of the bird in the sky symbolizes freedom, a longing to soar and let go of the constraints represented by "Her."
The repeated line about mirrors lying and reflecting broken pieces reinforces the idea that the singer is challenging the superficial image society imposes and embracing their true self. They are ready to let go of the old ways and embark on a new journey of self-discovery.
Overall, the lyrics of "Her" speak to the universal human desire for personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and breaking free from unhealthy patterns or relationships. It encourages listeners to embrace change, let go of what holds them back, and find their true selves.

Ain't nothing but my dreams and me
There is nothing else but my aspirations and myself
The mirror is my enemy
The reflection serves as my adversary
It's staring back unsteadily
It gazes back at me uncertainly
No remedy it's just my head
There is no solution, it is solely in my mind
Feeling alive and dead
Simultaneously experiencing vitality and lifelessness
You said this jealousy is centrally within our chemistry
You mentioned that this envy exists deeply within our connection
So hit me take the shot but I miss that time when you're around
So go ahead and strike, but I yearn for the moments when you are present
We were chilling in Notts so listen to the sound
We were relaxing in Nottingham, so pay attention to the ambiance
Working for others do you make them proud?
When you work for others, do you earn their admiration?
I cut through I guess I'm healing now
I make progress, I suppose I am recovering
After all this time I'm ready
After an extended period, I am prepared
To let go
To release and detach myself
