Hey
● The Pixies Lyrics

Hey
Greetings or attention seeking

Been trying to meet you
I've been attempting to communicate with you

Must be a devil between us
There seems to be an impediment or an obstacle in our relationship

Or whores in my head
Or perhaps, my own thoughts and inner turmoil are causing issues

Whores at my door
There are potential temptations or distractions waiting for me outside

Whores in my bed
I may be struggling with infidelity or promiscuity

But hey
Despite these problems, I still want to connect with you

Where have you been?
I'm curious about your whereabouts and why we haven't been able to meet

If you go, i will surely die
It feels like my existence is dependent on you and your presence

We're chained
Our relationship is inescapable or tightly bound

'Uh' said the man to the lady
The conversation between the man and woman involves brief vocalizations rather than meaningful words

'Uh' said the lady to the man she adored
The woman responds with a similar sound, implying they have difficulty communicating

And the whores like a choir
The prostitutes outside express themselves in unison, similar to a choir

Go 'uh' all night
They continue to make sounds with no meaning for an extended period

And mary ain't you tired of this?
Another woman, Mary, is also frustrated with the situation

Uh
A meaningless vocalization that seems to be the only way to communicate in this situation

Is
A simple linking verb connecting two parts of a larger sentence

The
A definite article used to specify a singular object

Sound
The audible vibrations that travel through the air

That the mother makes when the baby breaks
The sound of a mother's distress when her child is injured or hurt

We're chained
Our relationship is restraining or limiting us in some way
