Sofi Needs A Ladder
deadmau5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Especially now that you and I have traded place
You walk around in shoes that don't fit for a change
There is a way for you to win this race
Crisscross, you turn your shirt inside out
You like to think I can't figure you out, but the tables have turned
What goes around comes around, you're about to get burned
Flip the script, you're checking in, I'm checking you out
You're just too sweet 'til you get on my nerves and hurt like cavity
You left a bad taste in my mouth, my Sour Patch Kid
You and me, it's no mystery, no magic trick
Let me hear this broken record again, just press repeat
I can be your new favorite waste of time, and you'll be mine
All I want is your attention, it's all the same thing
Are you in? What's it gonna be?
Don't roll with the punches, make it hard for me, baby
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch
Watch you walk in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, flip my switch
Go around in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch
Watch you walk in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, flip my switch
Go around in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch
Watch you walk in circles hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, flip my switch
Go around in circles, hit the beat
Let's play musical chairs, one of my favorite games
Especially now that you and I have traded place
You walk around in shoes that don't fit for a change
There is a way for you to win this race
Crisscross, you turn your shirt inside out
You like to think I can't figure you out, but the tables have turned
What goes around comes around, you're about to get burned
Flip the script, you're checking in, I'm checking you out
You're just too sweet 'til you get on my nerves and hurt like cavity
You left a bad taste in my mouth, my Sour Patch Kid
You and me, it's no mystery, no magic trick
Let me hear this broken record again, just press repeat
I can be your new favorite waste of time, and you'll be mine
All I want is your attention, it's all the same thing
Are you in? What's it gonna be?
Don't roll with the punches, make it hard for me, baby
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch
Watch you walk in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, flip my switch
Go around in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch
Watch you walk in circles hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, flip my switch
Go around in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch
Watch you walk in circles, hit the beat
Drop you like a needle on the record, flip my switch
Go around in circles, hit the beat
The lyrics to "Sofi Needs a Ladder" by Deadmau5 are about a romantic relationship that is portrayed as a game of musical chairs. The singer states that they have traded places with their partner, who is now walking around in shoes that don't fit. The singer encourages their partner to turn their shirt inside out and make use of unconventional methods to win the game.
The chorus of the song speaks of the singer's attraction to their partner, who they describe as "too sweet" until they get on their nerves. They liken the taste the partner leaves in their mouth to that of a sour candy. The singer wants their partner's attention, challenging them to make it hard for them and warning that they will drop them like a needle on a record if they do not.
The song is driven by an electronic dance beat, providing the perfect atmosphere for the game-like nature of the lyrics. The repetition of certain phrases, like "hit the beat" and "drop you like a needle on a record" add a sense of urgency and intensity to the overall song.
