Claws
1000mods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel it into my head
everybody look at me
I can feel it into my head
bring it on don't waste my time
I can see clear through your eyes
everything is coming down
had enough with all these lies
Help me 'cause I'm doing it wrong
help me 'cause I'll die alone
everybody does
everybody knows
Take me back into the sun
where the skies are turning red
let me fly until tonight
when the moon covers my bed
lay me down and leave me back
I don't wanna cut my flesh
this is what I wanna be
a pretty vulture in my nest
Help me 'cause I'm doing it wrong
help me 'cause I'll die alone
everybody knows
my claws inside you baby
everybody knows
The lyrics of 1000mods's song Claws depict someone who is struggling with their own thoughts and actions. The plea for help is heard throughout the song, as the singer realizes they are doing wrong and knows that everyone is looking at them. There is a sense of frustration and a desire to push through these feelings and the lies they have been fed.
The second stanza adds more layers to the struggle, as the singer longs to be taken away from the situation and into a new reality. They envision themselves as a pretty vulture in their nest, a metaphor for wanting to be able to rest and be comfortable in their own skin. However, the chorus still rings out with the singer's plea for help, as they acknowledge that they will die alone if they do not receive the help they need. The final line, "my claws inside you baby," suggests a sense of desperation and the feeling of being trapped that the singer cannot shake.
