Shout Out Louds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the ice, beyond shades, on the sharpest of blades
So I calculate every move, every step
On the shadow in the light, on the last breath at night
But when my heart stops
I'm letting you go
There'll be another one,
When my heart stops
I'm making the call
To send another one,
I'll send another one
I follow you down to the edge of town
In the car behind, with a face in my hand
I see the man, hiding from the bridge at night
I see him crying in my sleep
But when my heart stops
I'm letting you go
There'll be another one,
To follow you home
When my heart stops
I'm making the call
To send another one,
I'll send another one
In Shout Out Louds's song "Hermila," the singer expresses their unwavering dedication to a loved one, as they carefully calculate every move and every step towards ensuring their safety and happiness. Whether it be on the ice or in the shadows, the singer is vigilant and tireless in their efforts to protect their loved one. However, the lyrics take a poignant turn when the singer acknowledges their own mortality, stating that when their heart stops, they will ultimately have to let go of their loved one. But in a final act of love, they vow to send another one to follow and protect them even after they are gone.
The lyrics to "Hermila" are open to interpretation, but they seem to speak to the lengths we often go to for the people we love. The singer's calculating and protective nature suggests a deep sense of care and responsibility, while their acknowledgement of their mortality speaks to the universality of loss and the desire to ensure the safety and happiness of the ones we love even in death.
Line by Line Meaning
So I calculate every move, every step
I am extremely cautious and plan every action I take with great detail.
On the ice, beyond shades, on the sharpest of blades
I am willing and able to take risks and push myself to my limits.
On the shadow in the light, on the last breath at night
I am constantly aware of the contrast and balance of life's light and dark moments.
But when my heart stops
In the event of my death or my emotions no longer being involved,
I'm letting you go
I am releasing you from my grasp or influence.
There'll be another one,
There will always be someone else who can take my place.
To follow you home
To pursue and be with you.
I'm making the call
I will decide what happens next.
To send another one,
To replace myself with someone new.
I'll send another one
I will ensure that someone else can take my place and follow you.
I follow you down to the edge of town
I am willing to go wherever you go, even to the outskirts of town.
In the car behind, with a face in my hand
I am in a vehicle following you, possibly holding a photo or something else that reminds me of you.
I see the man, hiding from the bridge at night
I witness a man who is seeking shelter and possibly trying to avoid something or someone.
I see him crying in my sleep
Even when I am not awake, I am aware of the man's pain and distress.
