She Said
Hasil Adkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every man is a faggot
She said
She's got a new ? wells book
She wrote his name on the ?
Instead
Monday, Tuesday, act your age
Wednesday, Thursday, it's the same
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
What were you thinking
What were you doing, yeah?
Walking through your life
I'm pretty caned in Ibiza
None of her friends would believe her
She said
She can't wait for the Notting Hill
And he's already had a belly full
Instead
Monday, Tuesday, it's the same
Wednesday, Thursday, act your age
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
What were you thinking
What were you doing, yeah?
Walking through your life
Oh, oh, oh oh!
You're nearly forty now, have you forgotten how?
You go with whatever's easy, there's nothing left to believe in
It's just a word that you heard on the radio
You're not a mod or a rocker
You've never heard of Nirvana
You're nearly forty now, have you forgotten how?
Like when we used to walk the beach
Monday, Tuesday, act your age
Wednesday, Thursday, it's the same
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
Monday, Tuesday, it's the same
Wednesday, Thursday, act your age
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
Monday, Tuesday, act your age
Wednesday, Thursday, it's the same
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
What were you thinking
What were you doing, yeah?
The song "She Said" by Hasil Adkins seems to describe a woman who is enjoying her nights out with her decks and vodkas while every man she meets is "a faggot" according to her. The lyrics then proceed to talk about her new wells book where she writes down the name of a man, which is unclear if it's the same person or just a record of many. The chorus of the song talks about the passage of time, how the days are just the same, and there is a sense of monotony in life. The singer seems to be criticizing the woman, asking her if she has forgotten what it was like to live fully, whether she has given up on life and just goes with the easiest options. The song seems to be trying to convey a sense of dissatisfaction with the way one is living their life.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible way is that it is a commentary on the emptiness of living a superficial life, where one indulges in pleasures but never finds true happiness. The woman in the song seems to be living a life of pleasure-seeking, but it is hollow, and it is not clear if she is happy or just numb to life. The singer seems to be urging her to wake up, to remember what it was like to walk the beach, to find meaning in life.

Pull her hair down the eye
Looks to me like a dyin' can of that commodity meat

Boilin' up with the blisters
She sound like this:

Pulled her hair down her eye
And do you know what she tol' me?
Do you know what she try to tell me?
