How Do You Do?
Hot Chip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
When you wake me in the morning
That is my favorite thing
The party is so warming
As a strikes a chord upon my skin
Now you sing in the evening
With the voice that's bouncing like a spring
A heart is not for breaking
It's for beating out all the life it needs to begin
It's for beating out all the life it needs to begin
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
Have we taken all we're good for?
Have we registered our love in vain
A church is not for praying
It's for celebrating the life that bleeds through the pain
(It's for celebrating the life that bleeds through the pain)
It's for celebrating the life that shines through your veins
(It's for celebrating the life that shines through your veins)
It's for celebrating the life that bleeds through the pain
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
How do you do it?
You make me want to live again
If you won't answer you sure are ours
You make me want to live again
If you won't answer you sure are ours
You make me want to live again
If you won't answer you sure are ours
How do you do that thing you do?
If you won't answer you sure are ours

The feeling continues into the evening when the person sings with a "voice that's bouncing like a spring." The second verse acknowledges the suffering that exists in life and asks if we have "taken all we're good for" and if we have "registered our love in vain."

These lines suggest that the joy of living can be experienced despite the pain and challenges of life.
Overall, the lyrics of How Do You Do celebrate the joy of living and the transformative power that love can have on someone's life.

Hot Chip is the only band I'd rely on to have something like a bagpipe scene and an african tribal ceremony in the same 5 seconds of a music video.
