Shiver

Lucy Rose's 'Shiver' is a poignant exploration of a tumultuous relationship that has left a lasting impact on both individuals involved. The song delves into the complexities of a love that was both passionate and destructive. The opening lines, 'We broke everything that was right, we both enjoyed a good fight,' set the tone for a relationship marked by conflict and intensity. The imagery of sewing 'all the holes we had to breathe to make the other one leave' suggests a mutual effort to push each other away, despite the deep connection they shared.

The chorus, 'And I'll shiver like I used to, and I'll leave him just for you,' reveals a longing for the past and a willingness to abandon current commitments for the sake of rekindling an old flame. The repetition of 'shiver' evokes a visceral, physical reaction to the memories of the relationship, highlighting the emotional and physical toll it took. The song's bridge, with its repeated questioning of whether they could 'learn to live right' if they could turn back time, underscores a sense of regret and a desire for redemption.

Lucy Rose's delicate yet powerful vocal delivery adds an extra layer of vulnerability to the lyrics, making the listener feel the weight of the emotions being expressed. The song captures the bittersweet nature of reminiscing about a love that was both beautiful and painful, leaving the listener to ponder the complexities of human relationships and the enduring impact they can have on our lives.
