The song "Didn't You Say" by Holy Hive is about broken promises and disappointment. The lyrics describe a promise made by someone to build a strong and reliable shelter, but in the end, the house they build is not up to par. The protagonist feels let down and left out in the elements, and despite attempts to fix it, realizes they're on their own. The chorus questions the authenticity of the promise and its ability to truly protect them from the storm. Ultimately, the protagonist comes to accept that they don't need the promise to survive the elements and will weather the storm on their own. The song speaks to the disappointments and false promises we experience in life, and the resilience we must find to overcome them.
