Shiver
Unveiling Hidden Realities: Motion City Soundtrack's Shiver
Lyrics
Shiver away, up on the action was real
Feeling a sense of shivering or unease, observing something genuine happening
Somewhere I know that's just the way you are
Accepting someone's inherent nature as it is
It's hard to believe that you're a part of me
Expressing disbelief that this person is connected intimately
I can't believe when you carry on and on
Surprise at the continuous behavior of the person
I can't believe you got that right (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Astonishment that the person did something correctly, repeated for emphasis
I can't believe you got that right (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh)
-Just as the radio goes on and on
Analogizing the repetitive nature of the situation to a radio playing endlessly
Yea, I can't believe you got that right
Continued disbelief in the person's correctness
Shiver away, after the years past us by
Continuing to feel uneasy despite time passing
Make no mistake we don't know who you are
Uncertainty or lack of recognition of the person's true identity
And sometime in the mirrors, you get to me every time
Seeing reflections that provoke emotional reactions
And I can't believe when you carry on and on
Surprise at the person's continuous behavior (reiteration)
I can't believe you got that right (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Amazement at the person getting things right, repeated for emphasis
I can't believe you got that right (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
-Just as the radio on and on and on
Comparing the ongoing situation to a radio continuously playing
Yea, I can't believe you got that right
Continued disbelief in the person's correctness (reiteration)
Shiver away, I thought the action was real
Reflecting on a past event where authenticity seemed present
Somewhere I know that's just the way you are
Understanding someone's inherent nature as it was before
Let me believe, let me be anything at all
Desiring to believe or accept anything due to disbelief
'Cause I can't believe when you carry on and on
Surprise at the continuous behavior of the person (reiteration)
I can't believe you got that right (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Surprise at the person getting things right, repeated for emphasis
I can't believe you got that right (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh)
-Just as the radio goes on and on
Comparing the ongoing situation to a radio continuously playing (reiteration)
Yea, I can't believe you got that right
Continued disbelief in the person's correctness (reiteration)
