My Gun
Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make out, last shot, keep dancing naked feeling free
That's my gun, that's my gun, that's my gun
Last night you were who you prefer because of me
Wake up messed up but you're still happy as can be
That's my gun, that's my gun, that's my gun
Do you think I'm easy ooh ooh
Boy if you're gonna shoot me down
Do it gently
I'm not easy, ooh ooh
But go ahead and touch me now
Do it gently
You're fine, you're mine, I'm the mistake you wanna make
Hey ho let's go, it's one more chance you gotta take
That's my gun, that's my gun, that's my gun
I'm ace in space and oh, I know you want to fly
My tune, your moon, jump on my cloud and we go high
That's my gun, that's my gun, that's my gun
Do you think I'm easy ooh ooh
Boy if you're gonna shoot me down
Do it gently
I'm not easy, ooh ooh
But go ahead and touch me now
Do it gently
Do it gently eh eh, gently eh eh, gently eh eh
Gently eh eh, gently eh eh, gently eh eh
That's my gun
Do you think I'm easy ooh ooh
Boy if you're gonna shoot me down
Do it gently
I'm not easy, uhu, uhu
But go ahead and touch me now
Do it gently
Do it gently eh eh, gently eh eh, gently eh eh
Do it gently eh eh, do it gently eh eh, gently eh eh
The lyrics to Tove Lo's song My Gun are a bit ambiguous but seem to be about a person who is a bit of a troublemaker and enjoys being in control of their sexual encounters. The lines "Heads turn, your body burn rip off your clothes for me" and "Make out, last shot, keep dancing naked feeling free" suggest that the singer is urging their partner to let go of their inhibitions and give into the moment. The repetition of the line "That's my gun" seems to reinforce the idea of control and power.
The second verse implies that the singer is able to bring out a wild side in their partner, and even though they may feel a bit messy afterward, they are still happy. The line "I'm ace in space and oh, I know you want to fly" suggests that the singer knows what they're doing and can provide a thrilling experience. The chorus, with its repeated pleas to "do it gently," implies that the singer enjoys being in charge but still wants their partner to be respectful and considerate.
Overall, the lyrics give the impression of a person who is comfortable with their sexuality and enjoys exploring the boundaries of what is socially acceptable. The repeated use of the phrase "That's my gun" suggests a level of possessiveness and assertiveness, while the plea to "do it gently" betrays a vulnerable side.
