Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
It started with the hayloft a-creaking
Well, it just started in the hay (loft)
With his long-john's on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay
Young lovers and they are not sleeping
Young lovers in the hay (loft)
With his gun turned on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
It started with the hayloft a-creaking
Well, it just started in the hay
With his long-john's on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

The song "Hayloft" by Mother Mother tells the story of a man, likely a father, who catches young lovers in his hayloft and threatens to shoot them with his gun. The repeated line "my daddy's got a gun, you better run" sets the ominous tone of the song and creates a sense of urgency for the young lovers to escape.
The lyrics describe the man creeping towards the hayloft, with his gun turned on, and the young lovers with their legs tied up in knots as they try to escape. The use of the hayloft as the setting for the violent encounter adds a sense of rural Americana to the song. The repetition of the lyrics "ah, yeah, yeah, yeah" and "ga-ga-ga-ga-ga" create a haunting and unsettling feeling, amplifying the tension of the situation.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the overprotective and possessive behavior of certain fathers towards their daughters, as well as a critique on the prevalence of gun violence in America. Overall, "Hayloft" is a dark and ominous song that captures the fear and paranoia of encountering an armed and angry individual.

My daddy's got a gun
My father possesses a firearm
You better run
It would be wise to flee from danger
It started with the hayloft a-creaking
The events began with a noise in the hayloft
With his long-john's on, Pop went a-creeping
Wearing his long underwear, the father quietly approached
Out to the barn, up to the hay
Heading to the barn, and climbing to the hayloft
Young lovers and they are not sleeping
Youthful romantic partners who are not sleeping
With his gun turned on, Pop went a-creeping
The father approached with his firearm ready
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Vocalization expressing excitement or agreement
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
Romantic partners with twisted or tangled legs
Young lovers with their legs tied up in love
Romantic partners with intertwined and inseparable feelings
With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping
The father quietly approached, holding his lengthy firearm
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off
To eliminate their resting place by force
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
Vocalization expressing excitement or agreement

@neamt9200
This gives such a dream-like “can’t run fast enough” energy
@phillcypher8231
especially how the lover is actually running but the father is at a strut at most and catching up
@josantoniorivas1204
I was so anxious the whole time
@laur4711
Agreed!!
@asher1528
omg absolutely
@throwawayaccount5785
What do you mean? Dream can run fast, he's great at pvp so he has to be fast, you antis are so annoying
@july_toffee5192
this style of film is so fitting with the song I love the way that they decided to shoot this. the cuts, the camera swinging, it's all so perfect for the chaos of the song I love it!!!
@peterdoyle6171
Just an FYI, but this is a complete rip off of my buddy's fan made music video from almost a year ago!!!!

@mitchellquong
@@peterdoyle6171 Idk both videos are pretty different from the way I see it. I mean really, the only similarities are that there is a crazy dad that finds two lovers creeping in the hayloft.. which is kind of implied by the songs story. In fact in the earlier version your friend made, daddy didn't even have a gun (gagagagaga)....
