Rachet
At Will Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey girl,
Your name isn't going to save you or fix this
Your beauty won't win my favor
I hope it felt good...to kill me
Flee for the sunlight
To blind you with sunspots
An excuse for your mistake
And I become the sacrificial star now
I hope it feels good...
To turn us into tabloids
And the vomit of small towns
How are you going to fix this
Maybe spoon out my insides
Cover the rat with latex
Or ask god what love is
And beg me to love you
I'll forgive you, maybe
And I'll forgive you baby
So lets wash the soap dish clean of all the gossip




Grab our diplomas and leave high school together...
Together

Overall Meaning

In the song, "Ratchet," At Will sings about a failed relationship where the girl he was with did something to cause a rift between them, possibly cheating or betraying him in some way. He tells her that her name, beauty, and attempts to win his favor won't fix the situation or save her from the consequences. He describes her fleeing to the sunlight to avoid facing her mistakes and how her actions have turned their relationship into tabloid gossip. He suggests bizarre solutions to fixing the situation, such as spooning out his insides or asking God what love is. However, he eventually forgives her or at least considers it, noting they should leave high school together and move on from the pettiness of their past.


The lyrics in this song show a deep level of hurt and disappointment from the singer. He feels like his trust has been betrayed, and even though he may forgive, he won't forget the pain that she caused. It's also interesting to note the metaphors used in the lyrics. The girl fleeing for the sunlight and becoming blinded by sunspots could represent her trying to hide away from her problems, or perhaps that he once saw her as radiant but now can't see any beauty in her. Additionally, the line, "And I become the sacrificial star now," could refer to him feeling like he's the one taking the fall for her mistakes or that the relationship was sacrificed for her own gain. Overall, "Ratchet" is a powerful song about the complexities and pain that can arise from failed relationships.

I really appreciate your vocabulary.

Your references to the proper terms for parts and mechanisms of the tools and techniques you use, demonstrates a depth of knowledge, and experience, that sets your content apart.

I also love how you'll occasionally, and so subtly, use a common phase, or word, as you demonstrate something and in doing so, hint at its possible origin.

Your technical explanations feel like a story fortified with gentle, and stern, life lessons.

You're the dad/grandpa many of us have never had.

Ratchet strap Safety tip... Put the ratchet on the passenger side of the vehicle, if the load shifts and you need to pull over to make adjustments... You'll be out of the traffic side in most situations...

These are the type of videos that I’m thankful for modern technology. I always felt stupid not knowing how to use a ratchet strap that I would avoid using one.

Everyone learned things like this because someone taught them. Don't ever feel stupid for not knowing how to do something and if anyone else makes you feel that way, they suck. :)

And now I have a ratchet that is bound up with strap because I threaded it wrong. I am thankful for men like this who share their knowledge.
