Little Sister
Twarres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never knew her name
I never knew what she looked like
Even when I passed her on the street
It was just a girl to me

Now I know her name
Now I know what she looks like
I saw her picture, read the story
She was breaking news

Never ever can imagine
How they just took away your little sister
Never ever could say to her goodbye
Sometimes I wish I could cast a spell

I never knew her name
I never knew what she looked like
Even when I passed her on the street
It was just a girl to me

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Now I know her name
Now I know what she looks like




I saw her picture, read the story
She was breaking news on tv.

Overall Meaning

The song "Little Sister" by Twarres is a heartfelt tribute to a young girl who was taken away too soon. The lyrics express regret and sadness over the fact that the singer didn't know anything about the girl until after her passing. The lyrics seem to be addressing the family of the girl, expressing condolences and wishing that the singer could somehow have helped prevent the tragedy.


The first verse sets the scene of the singer's lack of knowledge about the girl before her death. The second verse, however, reveals that the singer has since learned about the girl and her story. The chorus expresses the singer's grief over the girl's death and their desire to say goodbye. The final verse repeats the first, with the addition of the knowledge that the girl was on TV as "breaking news." The song ends with the repeated "oohs" of the chorus, emphasizing the sorrow and loss.
