Emotion
O'G3NE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean

You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tight

nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of O'G3NE's song "Emotion" express the depth of pain and longing caused by a breakup. The singer is devastated that the relationship has ended, but the heartache continues even after the physical separation. She wonders who her former partner is with now and why they are not together. She feels abandoned and alone, crying herself to sleep with tears on her pillow. Despite the pain, she remains steadfast in her love, hoping that her partner will come back to her and hold her tight. The lyrics are imbued with intense emotion and vulnerability, reflecting the universal experience of heartbreak and the longing for a lost love.

The song "Emotion" was originally written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees in the 1970s. It was recorded by a number of artists over the years, but O'G3NE's version is a tribute to their mother, who passed away from cancer in 2017. The three sisters who make up the group decided to cover the song as a way to honor their mother's love for the Bee Gees and to express their own emotions about her loss. The song was also O'G3NE's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017, where it reached the semi-final.

Line by Line Meaning

It's over and done
The relationship has ended

but the heartache lives on inside
The pain of the break-up continues to be felt

And who's the one you're clinging to
Who is your new partner?

instead of me tonight?
Instead of being with me

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Where are you when I need you the most?

Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I cry wherever you go

I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
I will cry so much that my tears will form a river which flows into your ocean

You never see me fall apart
You don't see how much I'm hurting

In the words of a broken heart
This is how a broken heart feels

it's just emotion taking me over
My emotions are overwhelming

Caught up in sorrow
Trapped in sadness and grief

lost in the song
Lost in my own thoughts while listening to this song

but if you don't come back
If you don't come back to me

Come home to me, darling
Please come back to me, my love

don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
You are the only one who can comfort me and hold me tight

nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
No one else to say goodnight to me

Goodnight, goodnight
I say goodnight, even though it hurts

I'm there at your side,
I'm still here for you

I'm part of all the things you are
I'm a part of your life, even if we're not together

But you've got a part of someone else
You're with someone else now

You've got to find your shining star
You need to find the person who makes you truly happy

Amazing! This is pure singing. I don't understand a word in Dutch but from what we see the whole jury was under Og3ne's spell. Holland definitely has great singers😍
