Always Everywhere Charli XCX lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Verse 1]
On the hillside, shadows chase the dawn
Your name is carved where the wild winds have gone
Black flowers burn, violet fades to grey
Still I hear your laughter tearing through the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't escape the storm you gave me
Constant lightning in my veins
Every echo calls your name
Calls your name, calls your name
Flash right back at me, oh
[Chorus]
Always everywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're evеrywhere
Always evеrywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
[Verse 2]
On the water, your face on top of mine
A fever dream of mirrored features, hungry eyes
I feel like home, still you pull away
You disappear to somewhere dark, so far away
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't escape the storm you gave me
Constant lightning in my veins
Every echo calls your name
Calls your name, calls your name
Flash right back at me, oh
[Chorus]
Always everywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Always everywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
On the hillside, shadows chase the dawn
Your name is carved where the wild winds have gone
Black flowers burn, violet fades to grey
Still I hear your laughter tearing through the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't escape the storm you gave me
Constant lightning in my veins
Every echo calls your name
Calls your name, calls your name
Flash right back at me, oh
[Chorus]
Always everywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're evеrywhere
Always evеrywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
[Verse 2]
On the water, your face on top of mine
A fever dream of mirrored features, hungry eyes
I feel like home, still you pull away
You disappear to somewhere dark, so far away
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't escape the storm you gave me
Constant lightning in my veins
Every echo calls your name
Calls your name, calls your name
Flash right back at me, oh
[Chorus]
Always everywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Always everywhere
Always everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Translation
Normal
[Verso 1]
En la ladera, las sombras persiguen el amanecer
Tu nombre está tallado donde los vientos salvajes se han ido
Flores negras arden, el violeta se desvanece a gris
Aún escucho tu risa desgarrando la lluvia
[Pre-Coro]
No puedo escapar de la tormenta que me diste
Relámpagos constantes en mis venas
Cada eco grita tu nombre
Grita tu nombre, grita tu nombre
Revive frente a mí, oh
[Coro]
Siempre en todas partes
Siempre en todas partes
Sí, estás en todas partes
Siempre en todas partes
Siempre en todas partes
Sí, estás en todas partes
[Verso 2]
Sobre el agua, tu rostro sobre el mío
Un sueño febril de rasgos reflejados, ojos hambrientos
Me siento como en casa, pero aún te alejas
Desapareces hacia algún lugar oscuro, tan lejano
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
En la ladera, las sombras persiguen el amanecer
Tu nombre está tallado donde los vientos salvajes se han ido
Flores negras arden, el violeta se desvanece a gris
Aún escucho tu risa desgarrando la lluvia
[Pre-Coro]
No puedo escapar de la tormenta que me diste
Relámpagos constantes en mis venas
Cada eco grita tu nombre
Grita tu nombre, grita tu nombre
Revive frente a mí, oh
[Coro]
Siempre en todas partes
Siempre en todas partes
Sí, estás en todas partes
Siempre en todas partes
Siempre en todas partes
Sí, estás en todas partes
[Verso 2]
Sobre el agua, tu rostro sobre el mío
Un sueño febril de rasgos reflejados, ojos hambrientos
Me siento como en casa, pero aún te alejas
Desapareces hacia algún lugar oscuro, tan lejano
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Meaning & Explanation
Charli XCX's 'Always Everywhere' is a haunting exploration of lingering emotional presence after a relationship ends. The song masterfully uses contrasting imagery of nature's elements (hillsides, winds, rain) to represent the turbulence of memory and loss. The recurring motif of 'black flowers burning' suggests the paradoxical pain of holding onto something toxic yet beautiful. Lyrically, it captures the universal experience of being haunted by a past lover's presence in everyday spaces and thoughts. The pre-chorus's 'storm you gave me' metaphor powerfully conveys how past relationships can become internalized as permanent emotional weather systems. What makes this particularly resonant is how it portrays the modern paradox of connection - feeling someone is 'everywhere' yet completely inaccessible. The watery imagery in Verse 2 reflects the instability of memory, where faces merge and separate like reflections. This speaks directly to Gen Z/listeners who experience relationships through both physical and digital spaces, making the 'always everywhere' phenomenon particularly acute. The song's brilliance lies in its ability to transform personal heartbreak into a shared psychological landscape, using sparse yet vivid lyrics that leave space for listeners' own experiences to fill in the emotional details.
