Everybody
tony t. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind
At first glance, Tony T.'s song "Everybody" appears to describe a person who is feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around them. The opening lines, "Everybody's talking at me, I don't hear a word they're saying, only the echoes of my mind" suggest that the singer is either not interested in the conversations taking place around them or is struggling to connect with others on a deeper level. This feeling is amplified when the singer describes the people around them as "stopping, staring" and only "shadows of their eyes".
However, the song shifts towards the end when the singer declares that they "won't let you leave my love behind". This sudden shift in tone suggests that the singer is not as disconnected as they first appear and that they are in fact deeply connected to a particular individual. The song's title "Everybody" might therefore be interpreted as a reflection of the singer's perception of the world around them, rather than an accurate description of their emotional state.
On a broader level, the lyrics of the song speak to the human desire for connection and belonging. Despite feeling disconnected from those around them, the singer ultimately finds meaning and purpose in their relationships with others.

Everybody's talking at me
I'm being bombarded by the words of those around me
I don't hear a word they're saying
I'm not paying attention to them
Only the echoes of my mind
I'm preoccupied with my own thoughts
People stopping, staring
Strangers are taking notice of me
I can't see their faces
I'm not focusing on them
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm only seeing a glimpse of them
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
I'm seeking out a brighter place
Through the pouring rain
Even in the midst of difficult times
Going where the weather suits my clothes
I'm looking for a place where I fit in
Banking off of the North East winds
I'm relying on the forces of nature
Sailing on a summer breeze
I'm enjoying the freedom of movement

I'll do whatever it takes to keep you close
