The Stuff
Lasse Lindh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When a man loves a woman, he gets to her, into her and onto her
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
When a man loves a woman, he treats her good, he touches her and tells her things
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
Give me the loving, give me the feeling, give me the touch
Give me the movement, give me the sorrow, give me the stuff
When a man loves a woman, he breaks her down he steals her lust and wears her out
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
When a man loves a woman, he beats her up, abuses her and breaks her heart
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
Give me the loving, give me the feeling, give me the touch
Give me the movement, give me the sorrow, give me the stuff

Overall Meaning

Interpreting the lyrics of Lasse Lindh's song "The Stuff" is a complex and nuanced task. At first glance, the lyrics may seem to glorify the notion of a man possessing a woman and using her for his own pleasure. The refrain "Give me the loving, give me the feeling, give me the touch, give me the movement, give me the sorrow, give me the stuff" seems to emphasize the idea that the woman is merely an object to be used and consumed by the man.


However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the song is actually an ironic commentary on toxic masculinity and the ways in which it can harm both men and women. The line "When a man loves a woman, he beats her up, abuses her and breaks her heart" is a direct refutation of the idea that violent or controlling behavior is a loving gesture. By juxtaposing this idea with the more traditional notions of love and intimacy expressed in the rest of the song, Lindh is making a statement about how harmful and damaging traditional gender roles and expectations can be.

When a man loves a woman, he gets to her, into her and onto her
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
When a man loves a woman, he treats her good, he tell her things and buy her things
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do

Give me the lovin′, give me the feelin′, give me the touch
Give me the movement, give me the sorrow, give me the stuff

When a man loves a woman, he wears her out, breaks her heart and steals her lust
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
When a man loves a woman, he beats her up, abuses her and call her things
When a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do

Give me the lovin′, give me the feelin′, give me the touch
Give me the movement, give me the sorrow, give me the stuff

이노래는 밤이나 새벽에 들어야 됨 그래야 진가를 알 수 있음 진심 이 노래는 마음속의 어떤 감정을 꺼내서 마구 흔들구 뒤잡아엉키구 터뜨려버리는거 같음
