Shake
Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear me talkin'
The river was dry that was why
I'm on the road and walking
A man on a horse with a box on his head
He was sayin' to the Nation
He pay him dues the goodbye blues
Is simple syncopation
Said shake that thing
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Go and see the frogman
And tell him all your troubles
Take your umbrella
'Cause he keeps on blowing bubbles
Come up and let me analyze you
Said the monkey to the weasel
And I'll paint your picture on the wall
If you can buy the easel
And I told my story to the cannibal king
Said baby, baby, shake that thing
Shake that thing (baby)
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Once upon a sunshine
Before the final bell
I told my story to big boy
With connections straight from Hell
His fiddle was his sweetheart
He was her favorite beau
And hear me saying was all he playing
Them songs from long ago
I told my story to the cannibal king
Said baby, baby, shake that thing
Shake that thing (baby)
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Too late, too late, can be the cry
So take it if you need it
There's no such thing as a dirty book
It's just the way you read it
So goodbye baby, I'll see you soon
It's gotta be that way
So bury me not on the lone prairie
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
The lyrics of Alex's song "Shake" seem to have a whimsical and playful tone, with various nonsensical and imaginative elements woven into the narrative. While the overall meaning may not be completely clear, we can interpret the lyrics based on the imagery and symbolism presented.
In the first verse, the singer describes a face in the crowd crying out loud. This could symbolize someone who feels unheard or unnoticed. The mention of a dry river and being on the road suggests a sense of restlessness and a desire for change. The man on a horse with a box on his head represents someone who is conveying a message to the nation, perhaps metaphorically representing a figure of authority or power. Their mention of paying dues and the goodbye blues suggests that there may be challenges or sacrifices involved in achieving their goals. The line "shake that thing" could be interpreted as a call to action or a request to overcome obstacles and move forward.
The second verse introduces the frogman, who is known for blowing bubbles. This character may symbolize someone who offers relief or distraction from life's troubles. The monkey and the weasel represent an interaction between two different beings, possibly implying the need for cooperation or assistance. The mention of painting a picture on the wall in exchange for buying the easel suggests a transaction or exchange of goods or services. The repeated line "shake that thing" reinforces the theme of taking action or finding a solution to one's problems.
The third verse introduces a person referred to as "big boy" who has connections straight from Hell. This could represent a person with significant influence or power, but whose intentions may not be entirely benevolent. The mention of a fiddle being played to hear me saying could symbolize music as a way of expressing oneself or providing comfort. The reference to songs from long ago suggests a connection to the past and a nostalgia for simpler times. Again, the singer tells their story to the cannibal king and repeats the line "baby, baby, shake that thing," suggesting a continued desire for progress or change.
The final verse seems to touch on themes of perception and interpretation. The phrase "too late, too late, can be the cry" implies a missed opportunity or a realization that comes too late. The mention of a dirty book, saying it's just the way you read it, suggests that one's perspective or attitude can greatly influence how something is perceived. The goodbye and the mention of burying on the lone prairie may allude to finality or acceptance of an inevitable ending. The repetition of "shake that thing" at the end may serve as a final encouragement to take action or find joy even in the face of uncertainty or difficult situations.
Overall, the lyrics of "Shake" by Alex present a fantastical narrative with recurring motifs of seeking change, finding solutions, and embracing one's own agency. The use of whimsical imagery and nonsensical elements adds to the song's playful and imaginative nature. However, the exact meaning and intention behind the lyrics may ultimately be open to individual interpretation.
Line by Line Meaning
Crying out loud said a face in the crowd
A person in distress openly expressed their feelings to those around
Can you hear me talkin'
Are you listening to what I'm saying
The river was dry that was why
The lack of opportunities or resources motivated me to take action
I'm on the road and walking
I'm actively pursuing my goals and journeying towards success
A man on a horse with a box on his head
An unconventional character making a statement or delivering a message
He was sayin' to the Nation
Addressing the entire community or society
He pay him dues the goodbye blues
He paid his debts and let go of the sorrowful feelings associated with departure
Is simple syncopation
It's a straightforward rhythm
And then I told my story to the cannibal king
I shared my personal experiences with someone who consumes the stories of others
Said shake that thing
Encouraged me to express myself freely and confidently
Go and see the frogman
Seek advice or help from someone experienced
And tell him all your troubles
Share all your problems and worries with them
Take your umbrella
Be prepared for potential difficulties or challenges
'Cause he keeps on blowing bubbles
Because he consistently offers false promises or illusions
Come up and let me analyze you
Allow me to examine or understand your situation
Said the monkey to the weasel
The monkey expressed this to the weasel
And I'll paint your picture on the wall
I'll create a lasting representation of you
If you can buy the easel
If you can provide the means or resources for me to do so
And I told my story to the cannibal king
Once again, I shared my personal experiences with the cannibal king
Said baby, baby, shake that thing
Energetically encourage the individual to let loose and express themselves
Once upon a sunshine
In a time of happiness or joy
Before the final bell
Before the end or conclusion
I told my story to big boy
I shared my experiences with a powerful or influential person
With connections straight from Hell
Having affiliations or alliances with dangerous or sinister entities
His fiddle was his sweetheart
He had an affectionate relationship with his musical instrument
He was her favorite beau
He was her beloved or preferred companion
And hear me saying was all he playing
He expressed his thoughts and emotions through his music
Them songs from long ago
Those nostalgic songs of the past
Too late, too late, can be the cry
Regret or sorrow for missed opportunities
So take it if you need it
Accept or seize the opportunity if it's beneficial for you
There's no such thing as a dirty book
It's purely a matter of interpretation and perception
It's just the way you read it
It depends on how you interpret or understand it
So goodbye baby, I'll see you soon
Farewell for now, but we'll meet again shortly
It's gotta be that way
That's the inevitable or necessary course of events
So bury me not on the lone prairie
Please don't leave me alone or forgotten in isolation
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
Potentially a nonsensical phrase or chant
Shake that thing
Express yourself freely and uninhibitedly
Shake that thing
Continue to let loose and be yourself
Shake that thing
Embrace your individuality and uniqueness
