Skweetis
Melvins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I sold you for you now
Caught in a holder, yeah!
Mixed and rolled and scold you go
Caught in a hollow yellow you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Melvins' "Skweetis" are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The notion of selling someone is present in the first line, and it is unclear who the singer is addressing or what they are referring to. The following lines contain vivid imagery, such as being caught in a holder and mixed and rolled, which seem to suggest a physical transformation or process. The phrase "scold you go" could be interpreted as a warning or a threat, as if the singer is cautioning someone against a particular path or course of action. The final line, "caught in a hollow yellow you," is particularly enigmatic, as it is unclear what "you" refers to or what significance the color yellow holds.


However, when looking at the song as a whole, it's clear that the lyrics are meant to be unsettling and unnerving. The disjointed and repetitive structure of the song, coupled with the distorted guitar and booming drums, create a disorienting soundscape that mirrors the lyrics' sense of unease. Overall, the lyrics to "Skweetis" are intentionally opaque, leaving room for individual interpretation and allowing the listener to project their own fears and anxieties onto the song.


Line by Line Meaning

When I sold you for you now
When I betrayed you for your own good.


Caught in a holder, yeah!
Trapped in a hostile situation, yes!


Mixed and rolled and scold you go
Confused and manipulated, you fall.


Caught in a hollow yellow you.
Trapped in an empty, soulless existence.
