Everybody
Solveig Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody run, everybody knows,
Everybody pull the gun, everybody rolls,
Everybody skip, everybody choose,
Everybody sticks and everybody loose,
Everybodys favours, everybody waits,
Everybodys gorgeous and everybody fakes,
Everybodys screaming, everybodys blind,
Everybody could be dying, anybody fine.

Is this a mirror of myself,
Am I somebody else,
I don't wanna be...everybody!

Everybody..

Everybody run,everybody knows,
Everybody pulls the gun, everybody rolls,
Everybody skips, everybody choose,
Everybody sticks and everybody loose,

Everybodys jealous, everybody objects,
Everybodys anxious, everybody forgets,
Everybodys asking for everybodys aid,
Everybodys bonking unless everybodys paid

Is this a mirror of myself,
Am I somebody else,
I don't wanna be...everybody!
Is this a mirror of myself,
Am I somebody else,
I don't wanna be...everybody!

everybody !
come on!




come on!
come on!

Overall Meaning

In Solveig Martin's song "Everybody," the lyrics explore the idea that everyone is different, yet they often try to conform to societal norms or expectations. The repetition of "everybody" emphasizes the universality of these human experiences. The song opens with a sense of urgency, with the line "everybody run." This could represent the pressure people feel to keep up with the chaos of life or to chase after success or happiness. The following lines - "everybody pulls the gun, everybody rolls" - could symbolize the idea that people are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, even if it means resorting to violence or cheating.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that achieving happiness or fulfillment often means sacrificing one's true self. For example, "everybody gorgeous and everybody fakes" highlights the pressure people feel to present themselves as perfect, even if this means hiding their flaws or insecurities. The line "everybody bonking unless everybody's paid" suggests that people might use their looks or bodies to get ahead, rather than relying on their talents or intelligence. The repeated question of "is this a mirror of myself, am I somebody else?" asks listeners to reflect on their own lives and question whether they are living authentically or simply following the crowd.


Overall, "Everybody" is a commentary on the never-ending struggle to fit in and be successful, and the toll this can take on individuals as they navigate their way through life.
