Hey
SupaRed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sinner cries
With all his breath
The runner never gets to rest
The widow fights her loneliness
The doctor says he'll do his best

The remedy will promise cure
The millionaire still needs his more
The soldier keeps on fighting for
Our plastic peace behind our doors

But hey!
I get a million volts right into my brain
All those ideals just add to the pain
And fallen angels sing the refrain
Hey!
We passionate all learn to dance on the edge
Some recommend a shot in the head
I put all men's despair on my bread

It's up to you or down to me
Hard-hearted man unlearned to be
The lunatic showed up to see
If he's still him eventually

Still I get sick from time to time
As she still tends to loose her mind
Yes, fortune's still hard to define
Unwillingness sure waits in line

[Refrain:]

You love honesty as much as the lie
Especially when honesty is a lie
The human mind's a turner
Turns out to turn wrong
The ego's such a burner
Burns our brains out strong

Is up to you or down to me





[Refrain:]

Overall Meaning

In SupaRed's song "Hey," the lyrics express the struggles that individuals face in their lives while ultimately questioning the meaning of life itself. The first verse describes the pain that the sinner, runner, widow, doctor, and soldier face in their respective situations. The chorus then says "hey," addressing the listener, and reflects on the pressures to conform to societal ideals and expectations, which only add to the experience of pain. The fallen angels singing the refrain call attention to the idea of mortality and that life is limited. The bridge is reflective and absolving, with the singer acknowledging that they too are not immune to life's hardships.


The second verse focuses on the difficulties of achieving happiness and the continuous pursuit of success and wealth. The refrain speaks to the human condition of being conflicted in one's choices and the mind's tendency to turn towards self-serving behavior. Ultimately, the song suggests that the answer to life's questions is not up to one person but rather a collective understanding and surrendering to the unknown.
