Hey
The Shelter feat. Doris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think some day she'll come to you
Her with her nose in the air
She has dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Won't take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
The Shelter feat. Doris's song Hey is a song about a person who is infatuated with someone who does not reciprocate their feelings. The song starts off by addressing the person with "stars in their eyes" - this suggests that the person is dreamy, idealistic, and possibly in love. The lyrics, "Love never made a fool of you/ You used to be too wise" suggest that the person was once more experienced and knowledgeable about love or relationships but has now become infatuated with someone who is not interested in them.
The second stanza describes the person as being on a "high flying cloud" but also speaks of the unrequited love present in the situation. The lyrics suggest that the person believes that the object of their affection may eventually come to them even though they are currently ignoring them. The chorus, which is repeated twice throughout the song, urges the person to forget the object of their affection who has them "dancing on a string". The singer suggests that even if the person were to break that string, it would not matter to the other party.
The final stanza reiterates the singer's advice to the person to forget about the person they are infatuated with. The singers question whether the person is too in love to see clearly and whether their advice is going "in one ear and out the other." Overall, the song is a warning to the person to be mindful of their situation and to avoid getting hurt by someone who is not interested in them.
