Meathook
Hannah Fury Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't put your red dress on for him
Don't put your red dress on
Don't put your red dress on for him
Don't put your red dress on
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him

Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him
No meathook is as bad as a hook in the heart
There's no pain that can make the non-feel feel at all
A hole through the skin will not make you whole
What is dominion over a faltering soul
And a heart that has severed from the body?
Is it anything to control someone that has been broken open?

Overall Meaning

The song "Meathook" by Hannah Fury is a hauntingly beautiful tune that uses vivid imagery and metaphors to portray the idea of not succumbing to the manipulation of a toxic relationship. The lyrics "Don't put your red dress on for him/Don't put your red dress on/Don't put your red dress on for him/Don't put your red dress on" convey the message that it is crucial not to lose one's self-respect by trying too hard to please someone else who does not value them. The repeated lines are emphasizing the importance of self-preservation, as it is better to be alone than to be in a relationship that is not healthy.


The chorus "Don't be afraid of the dark/Don't be afraid of the dark/Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him" further develops the theme of self-affirmation and independence. The darkness represents the unknown outcome of being on one's own, and the encouragement to not be afraid of it emphasizes that it is crucial to embrace one's strengths, even when they are not in a relationship. The following lines "No meathook is as bad as a hook in the heart/There's no pain that can make the non-feel feel at all/A hole through the skin will not make you whole/What is dominion over a faltering soul/And a heart that has severed from the body?/Is it anything to control someone that has been broken open?" are suggesting that physical pain is lesser than the emotional pain that comes with a broken heart.
