TRUSTcompany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's over.
It kills me to watch you descend.
To the end.
Can't think straight.
Shutting me out.
Closing me out.
Taking me out.
Leaving me out.
(Keeps me struggling- I'm leaving)
You take me down.
Further inside of me.
Now I'm fading out.
I can barely see.
As I hover.
To see you caving in.
I'm undone
And to say it's the last time again.
It's the end.
I'm watching you descend.
I'm hovering instead.
The song "Hover" by TRUSTcompany is a reflection on a relationship that is coming to an end. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and pain as the singer watches the other person "descend" and "cave in." The use of the word "hover" suggests a feeling of being suspended in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward, as if waiting for something to happen or hoping for some kind of resolution.
The first verse sets a melancholic tone with the line, "To see you leave again. It's over." This repetition of "again" implies that the relationship has already ended and the two parties have possibly reconciled, only for it to fall apart once more. The singer expresses how painful it is to watch the other person "descend," emphasizing their inability to help or intervene. In the chorus, the singer describes feeling shut out and left behind, as the other person takes them down "further inside." They feel like they are "fading out" and can barely see, contributing to a sense of disorientation and confusion.
In the second verse, the singer laments that they are "undone" and that this might be the "last time again." They again reference the other person's descent, suggesting that they are spiraling out of control. The final line, "I'm hovering instead," reveals that the singer feels stuck and uncertain, unable to move forward or make a decision.
Overall, "Hover" is a somber reflection on a relationship that is unraveling, with lyrics that convey a sense of powerlessness and emotional distance.
