★Yellow Claw★ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I'm stressing you out, why don't you go
You're wasting your time with your lies so
You've been breaking me down, now it's enough
'Cause you'll do it again and again oh
I hope that you'll be gone soon I can't take no more oh no

I will never fall for your lies again, oh whoa
I will never fall for your lies again oh whoa oh
You shot me right in de face wit' a shotgun
You shot me right in de face wit' a shotgun
You shot me right in de
You shot me right in de
You shot me right in de (Face with a shotgun)

Yellow motherfucking claw

Who do they want? Telling all these stories
I'm telling you, it's really getting boring
Who do they want? Sharing all these love seats
I'm the real deal, baby girl believe me

If I'm letting you down I'm letting you out
I'm wiping your dirt off my soul
You're talking a lot but you're pissing me off
What you try to say doesn't matter no more
I hope that you'll be gone soon I can't take no more no

I will never fall for your lies again, oh whoa
I will never fall for your lies again, oh whoa oh
You shot me right in de face wit' a shotgun
You shot me right in de face wit' a shotgun
You shot me right in de
You shot me right in de
You shot me right in de (Face with a shotgun)

(Face with a shotgun)

If I'm stressing you out, why don't you go
If I'm causing you discomfort, it may be best for you to leave


You're wasting your time with your lies so
Your deceptions are futile and serve no purpose


You've been breaking me down, now it's enough
Your actions have been gradually dismantling me, but it's time for it to stop


'Cause you'll do it again and again oh
Because you will repeat your harmful behavior over and over again


I hope that you'll be gone soon I can't take no more oh no

I am the genuine article, and I implore you to trust me

If I am disappointing you, I am freeing you from the situation


You're talking a lot but you're pissing me off
You're saying a lot without any substance and it's frustrating me

Your words have lost their significance and no longer hold any weight

Cut me through my skin
Through the heart, yeah, you went right in
I fell for every word you said
I come here but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to be this way
We build it up, build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the crown
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
You told me from the start
Nothing could tear us apart
Now when I look I see a stranger
I come here but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to end this way
We build it up, build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the crown
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

So I was bored , and I tried to interpret what this video really means. Feel free to share your ideas


The boy - He probably had a dream (going to sea) but his obstacle right now, is his young age. He knew the world is going to end, so he let go of the fishes to let them felt their last moment of life. Felt that he also need to feel the freedom , he went to the sea in his own way, achieving his dream. (Freedom)


The Man - He has a career he longing for, but he lived long enough under the pressure , yet he found no peace. When everything comes to an end, he finally trying to calm himself down, and finding peace. Even if it is for a short time, and might felt that he should have his time more to find peace, but at least he receive what he wanted. (Peace)


The Woman - She is around the people full of fun and pleasure, yet she found no peace for herself. No hopes for herself , she felt discontent, but, feeling curious and confused on why people around her keep dancing and having fun despite the end of the world coming nearby, she learned that she had to accept things no matter how hard it it .(Acceptance)


The family - They had nothing at all, but they got each other as family, The mom, appreciating what she only had in this world (child) , while the Dad cries cause the only treasure he had in this world is about to lose right in front of his own eyes , and has to accept that they have little time with their loved one, but in the end, they had what the happiness really mean for them, which is a family. (Happiness)


These four values might represent the song title "Love and War" itself, since most of people tend to have problems with these values within themselves, either in individually, or in a relationship.

YELLOW CLAW LYRICS
"Love & War"
(feat. Yade Lauren)

Cut me through my skin
Through the heart, yeah, you went right in
I fell for every word you said
I come here but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to be this way

We build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the crown
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore

So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

You told me from the start
Nothing could tear us apart
Now when I look I see a stranger
I come here but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to end this way

We build it up, build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the crown
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore

So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
