I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Don't keep me hangin' on a string
Tell me what I feel is no big thing
Don't turn away I'm listening
Over and over again
Don't give me visions to explain
There are no doubts I feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again
Every day I see you
Every day I need you
Every way I breathe you
On and on and on and on again... again
It's not important to wonder why
What is just is no more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and over again
Every day I see you
Every day I need you
Every way I breathe you
On and on and on and on again
Imagine all the ways to cope
I close my eyes, that gives me hope
It cures the silence
Every day I see you (see you)
Every day I need you (need you)
Every way I breathe you (breathe you)
On and on and on and on
Every day I see you (I see you)
Every day I need you (I need you)
Every way I breathe you (I breathe you)
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on again, again
Tell me what I feel is no big thing
Don't turn away I'm listening
Over and over again
Don't give me visions to explain
There are no doubts I feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again
Every day I see you
Every day I need you
Every way I breathe you
On and on and on and on again... again
It's not important to wonder why
What is just is no more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and over again
Every day I see you
Every day I need you
Every way I breathe you
On and on and on and on again
Imagine all the ways to cope
I close my eyes, that gives me hope
It cures the silence
Every day I see you (see you)
Every day I need you (need you)
Every way I breathe you (breathe you)
On and on and on and on
Every day I see you (I see you)
Every day I need you (I need you)
Every way I breathe you (I breathe you)
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on again, again

this song always reminds me of a friend of mine who stopped talking to me a while ago. it really bugged me that she was always around, which was a constant reminder that she didn't want me around. so yeah, that's my tragic story for the day.
Oh dear ... Yeah it must have been very hard for you :/ I understand what you felt then because I was in similar situation :/ But in addition to that that guy brought his girlfriend to show me what kind of big loser I am. But now it's only past for me - as Stevie would say: "I can see past you to the white sand".
I dont really exactly know what this song's about, even though Stevie didn't write it (John Shanks did), it's still a great song. Although, the lyrics ARE very fitting to Ms. Nicks' life!
I don't know the meaning either but the song is so great.The music video is great and she is great.Her voice is also great !
I think Stevie wrote this song around the movie 'Great Expectations'. In the lyrics, "Don't keep me hangin' on a string" and "Everyday I see you", "Everyday I see you", she is making a comparison to the the character, Miss Havisham who had been jilted on her wedding day and forever remained broken hearted in old age. In Stevie's music video you can see comparisons to the movie with a large table adorned with a dusty candelabra, a banquet of decaying food and cobweb covered goblets. In the movie 'Great Expectations' we see the abandoned wedding table with elegant settings now tarnished and overgrown with vines.
@whyanbeel But Stevie didn't write this song - "Producer John Shanks sent Stevie Nicks an envelope labeled “Every Day.” Inside was the demo for “Every Day,” a song which Shanks and songwriter Damon Johnson had written for Stevie to record. When Stevie walked past her office desk and saw the envelope, the title reminded her of Buddy Holly’s hit 1957 “Everyday.” From that connection, Stevie decided to record the song" - this can be found on Internet.
