Her
Soundtrack and Theme Master Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe you were right after all,
Maybe I'm just bad news,
I've been drowning in memories
Call it residual blues.
I fell asleep watching Veronica Mars again.
(Hey!)

I still fuss with that tourniquet,
And tried to squeeze in your dreams.
Slung it on- it's a perfect fit.
What do you suppose that means?

My parents keep asking when you're planning on coming around.

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start anything at all.

Got a job at uncommon grounds,
I finally shaved off that beard.
I sold my Xbox to Jimmy down the street.
Hell, I even quit smoking weed.
I'm taking an online course- I'm learning to speak Japanese.

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start anything at all.

The things that used to mean so much to me,
Have gone the way of dinosaurs, hopes and dreams, and everything.
All I want for you to be is happy or something,
I guess anything is better than the time you spent hoping I'd get it sorted out.

I sent you a post card
But the post office sent it back
They said the buildings been torn down.
I just miss what I thought we would have.

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
It's all my fucking fault!

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.




I stall before I start.
I stall before I start anything at all.

And the Award for the most charismatic villain in Doctor Who history goes to... The Master.
Umm ... should I say more to it? 😉 Like: evil, chaotic, sly, clever...
It doesn't matter if New Who or Old Who - The Master just knows it how to let evil deeds look like a big entertainment event 😆😉

@Tess1061

Season 10 Spoiler alert, ahead. Read at own risk.

I just realized that the music that plays before she kills herself is at 7:36. How fucking fitting is that???? Literally the Heaven score is used for both Master deaths.

"I loved being you. Every second of it."
