Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Solveig Martin's song "Hello" seem to be about a person who goes to a party and encounters someone they find attractive. However, the person is not necessarily interested in pursuing anything beyond a casual encounter, explaining that they are just there to enjoy the party and are not really into the other person. The repetition of the word "hello" seems to be a way of acknowledging the person's presence without necessarily implying any further interest or commitment.

Throughout the song, the singer makes it clear that they are not interested in getting "messed up" with the other person, suggesting a desire to avoid any kind of emotional entanglement. This is further reinforced by the line "I'ma let you try to convince me to," indicating that the other person is attempting to persuade them to change their stance. However, the singer seems to enjoy the attention and the game of flirting, even though they have made their intentions clear.

Overall, the lyrics to "Hello" seem to be about the complexities of human attraction, and the ways in which people can engage in flirtation and casual encounters without necessarily committing to anything more serious.

I love the break, when he gets another chance and she sings "I just came to say hello" it feels like such relief. And then, he gives up and I feel so bad for him. Sigh. I know it's fiction, but it feels like characters to feel for. Brilliant, espicially when you consider this wasn't intended to be a music video.
