Hush

AViVA's song 'Hush' delves into the seductive and ominous nature of secrecy and the dark side of human emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mysterious and almost sinister relationship where silence is both a command and a promise. The repeated phrase 'Hush now darlin', don't say a word' sets the tone for the entire song, suggesting a need to keep certain truths hidden, perhaps to protect or to control.

The song's chorus, 'Hush hush, keep your pretty mouth shut,' emphasizes the allure of secrecy and the power dynamics at play. The invitation to 'lose your inhibitions' and 'show you what hell really feels like' hints at a deeper, darker experience that the speaker is eager to share. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for exploring the hidden, often suppressed aspects of one's personality or desires. The repeated 'La la la' lines serve as a haunting reminder that some things are better left unsaid, adding to the song's eerie atmosphere.

The bridge of the song, which references the lullaby 'Hush, Little Baby,' adds a layer of irony and darkness. Traditionally a comforting song, its inclusion here underscores the twisted nature of the relationship being described. The final lines, 'Please come inside, you're begging to know, bring me to life, just give me your hush hush,' suggest a mutual, albeit dangerous, curiosity and desire to delve into the unknown. AViVA's unique blend of dark pop and alternative rock elements enhances the song's haunting quality, making 'Hush' a compelling exploration of the shadows that lurk within us all.
