Shooting Holes
Twin Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave a trail the hounds will find us anywhere
Call the cops and tell em what we've done
Tell em that tonight we stole your father's guns
With your right hand, you saying
"I think we're gonna be so close"
Let's sing a song, on our way back home
You and me shooting holes in the moon
You and me shooting holes in the moon
Take my hand there's no one here to see
Push your bones against the earth with me
With your right hand, you saying
"I think it's gonna be so close"
Let's sing a song on our way back home
You and me shooting holes in the moon
You and me shooting holes in the moon
On our way back home.
The lyrics to Twin Shadow's "Shooting Holes" paint a picture of two young people caught up in a moment of rebellion and reckless abandon. The verses are full of bold actions and defiance, as the two protagonists seem to revel in the thrill of breaking rules and pushing boundaries.
The first verse sees the singer urging his partner to bite the hand they know, to leave a trail for the hounds to follow, and to call the cops and confess to their transgressions. They have stolen guns and are playing with fire, but they don't care. In fact, they seem to be relishing the danger and excitement.
The chorus is a moment of release, as the two sing and shout their joy into the night sky. They are shooting holes in the moon, a symbolic act of rebellion and independence. The moon, often associated with femininity and passivity, becomes a target, a canvas for their aggression and creativity.
In the second verse, the singer offers his hand and encourages his partner to push her bones against the earth with him. It's a moment of intimacy and connection, but also of defiance, as if to say "we are here, we are alive, and we will not be silenced." The chorus repeats, and the song ends on the image of the two walking back home, a sense of defiance and exhilaration still pulsing through their veins.

We're doing something so bold and unapologetic that it's sure to leave traces that can be found anywhere we go.
Call the cops and tell em what we've done
The consequences of our actions are so thrilling to us that we might as well broadcast them to the authorities, daring them to try and stop us.
Tell em that tonight we stole your father's guns
We're making it clear just how risky and dangerous our behavior has become, stealing something that's typically seen as off-limits and taboo.
With your right hand, you saying 'I think we're gonna be so close'
Despite all the risks and dangers, we're both fully committed to this experience and believe it will bring us even closer together.
Let's sing a song, on our way back home
We're so exhilarated by our actions that we can't help but break into song together, celebrating our shared sense of daring and excitement.
You and me shooting holes in the moon
We're like two outlaws with nothing left to lose, seeking to leave our mark in the world by literally shooting at the moon.
Take my hand there's no one here to see
We're itching to push the boundaries of what's socially acceptable and do something that no one else is around to witness or judge.
Push your bones against the earth with me
Our sense of adventure and abandon has reached such an intense level that we don't just want to stand there and shoot at the moon -- we want to physically push against the earth and feel the force of our own momentum.
On our way back home
Even as we push the limits of what's safe and rational, we both know that we will eventually have to return to our everyday lives and face the consequences of our actions.
