The View Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see the cold reaction when she realises actions I've taken,
To start conversation.
They tell me hope that really pulls the strings the most,
Clever little words from the boring little boy in the corner,
We love one another.
And no one asked you to come here,
They're saying words people don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
So stop shouting.
A piece of mind it carries tension up the stream,
The truth can pierce a hole right through the dingy little boat you sailed in on,
And the one you'll go down on.
Oh what an awful way to throw away the day,
Your season is colliding with the evil massive things you're providing,
No way you can hide in.
No one asked you to come here,
No one asked you to come here,
They're saying words that we don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
So stop shouting.
I never asked you to come here,
And no one asked you to come here,
They're saying things that we don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
Exceptions are creative in your sister's way,
Your mother won't approve of these newfound days,
Think of no one but your little selfish mind,
And always think of no one.
I pull my covers off my lady in the night,
To see the cold reaction when she realises actions I've taken,
To start conversation,
To start conversation.
The song "Covers" by The View is a reflection on society and the different perspectives people hold. The first verse talks about pulling the covers off one's partner, possibly referring to revealing one's true self or intentions. The line "to see the cold reaction when she realizes actions I've taken" shows that the action taken may not have been positive, and the person is curious about the reaction. The action is taken to start a conversation, which shows the importance of communication in relationships and society.
The second verse talks about hope and how it can influence people's decisions. The line "clever little words from the boring little boy in the corner" refers to someone who may not seem important or influential but is actually very clever with their words. The line "we love one another" shows that despite the different beliefs and perspectives people hold, love is still a unifying factor.
The chorus talks about people who come to a place uninvited and start saying things that are not wanted or needed. The singer tells them to stop shouting and that they never asked them to come. This can be interpreted as a commentary on people who force their opinions on others without considering their feelings or perspectives.
Overall, "Covers" is a commentary on society's different perspectives and the importance of communication and respect for others' beliefs.

You only consider your own needs and desires, neglecting everyone else
And always think of no one.
You won't ever prioritize anyone other than yourself
I pull my covers off my lady in the night,
I will reveal my vulnerable side to my significant other at night
To see the cold reaction when she realises actions I've taken,
I want to assess her response to my past choices that may have disappointed her
To start conversation.
My intention is to initiate communication between us
