Everywhere
Polaris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put your photograph away
I can't look at you today
I put your letters upstairs
But it's no good because you're everywhere

I can try to hide,
But why waste my time?
You left your glasses behind
And somebody said you were doing fine
I play a game, but you're not there
But it's no good, because you're everywhere

I can try to hide,
But why waste my time?
Center round of you
Everything I do says you're everywhere
Everywhere

I hear a song that you sang
It hits my head like a circus train
I cried out when you were there
You were there because you're everywhere

I can try to hide
But why waste my time?
Center round of you,
everything I do
I can try to hide
But why waste my time?
Center round in me,
Everything I see says you're everywhere
Everywhere

Overall Meaning

The song "Everywhere" by Polaris is a heartfelt reflection on the pain of getting over someone you still love. The singer is trying to move on from a relationship, but can't escape the memories and reminders of their former lover, who seems to be ubiquitous. In the lyrics, she describes putting away photographs and letters, hiding herself and trying to play games, but these efforts are fruitless because her ex is everywhere she looks and in everything she hears. The recurring line, "I can try to hide, but why waste my time?" captures her sense of futility, while the plaintive repetition of "everywhere" in the chorus emphasizes the pervasiveness of her ex's presence in her life.


The lyrics of "Everywhere" paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil of a brokenhearted person, and they weave together various elements - memories, sensations, objects, songs, etc. - to create a tapestry of pain. The singer's choice of words is strikingly raw and honest. For example, when she hears a song that her ex sang, it "hits [her] head like a circus train", which conveys the force and unpredictability of her grief. Similarly, when she cries out, it's not because she's sad, but because her ex is there. This distinction reveals how the separation has ruptured the singer's sense of self, and the imagery of her crying out evokes a sense of desperation and loneliness.


Overall, "Everywhere" is a poignant and affecting song that captures the feeling of being unable to escape the memories of a past love. The lyrics are simple, yet powerful, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful. It's a song that resonates with anyone who's gone through a breakup, and serves as a reminder that sometimes the only way to heal is to confront the pain directly and let yourself feel it.

That’s when I knew, the truth. New Year’s resolutions were a joke..

For one night you get all wiggly, thinking about changing everything, but in the end you’re just a feeb.

I tried and what happened?
I lost everything, my brother, my superhero, and my dream.
All I had left was this terrible feeling, that life was a lot like my runaway bike a bumpy out of control ride to nowhere..

I put your photograph away
I can't look at you today
I put your letters upstairs
But it's no good because you're everywhere

I can try to hide
But why waste my time

You left your glasses behind
And somebody said you were doing fine
I play a game that you're not there
But it's no good because you're everywhere

I can try to hide
But why waste my time
Center round of you
Everything I do says you're everywhere
Everywhere

I hear a song that you sang
It hits my head like a circus train
I cried out and you were there
You were there because you're everywhere

I can try to hide
But why waste my time
Center round of you
Everything I do
I can try to hide
But why waste my time
Center round in me
Everything I see says you're everywhere
Everywhere

"I can try,
to hide,
but why waste,
my time?

Scent around of you,
everything I do,
Says you're everywhere...
everywhere..."

Damn man, I think everyone must know this feeling, perfectly put into words.
Thank you

My sister and I grew up watching Pete and Pete on TV. We always loved not only the show but the music itself. My whole family ended up being huge fans of the show and Polaris in general. My sister passed away in May 2019 from cancer at 33. We made sure to play this at her funeral.

You guys made music that touched so many people in my life and for that, I will forever be greatful.

@MattiusFincham

May she RIP, my friend

@jordan2479

Great memories with your sister. Thanks for sharing.

@sarahm.4926

All I can say is thank you Polaris and thank you Pete & Pete for helping me have a beautiful childhood 😢

@ALFAJERKBFH

Hell yeah. That goes for me too. It's a flashback to my teen years every time I see an episode or hear these songs.

@jonashoffmann3730

Word.

@HeroLionHeart68

Yes it helped me have a great childhood to.

Suxs this day in age is perverse and not full of funny but good morals like the 90s of old :(

@goodmythicalmukbang3757

I hope Mark reads the comments here. These are the people that he touched and these are the people that will immortalize him in their memories.

"Why is it that when you miss somebody so much that your heart is ready to disintegrate, you always hear the saddest song ever on the radio?"
