Bear Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wasn't scared of your mean demeanor
Yeah your skin's a little dry
And you're much bigger than I
But you were mine
My friends said I'm insane
"That girl's a monster, and she'll consume you"
Then you chewed me up again.
I still think you're swell.
Do you like what has become of me?
Turns out I'm just another link in your chain
You are still the girl that I used to know
I know you meant no harm
The way I got here could have been better
But now I'm in pieces
And the pain just increases all the time
So small in your tiny, little arms
I was bewitched by your deafening roar
I miss your smile, it's the last thing that I saw before you
Sank your teeth in and you swallowed me whole
I'm not ham (Don't forget to chew)
Do you like what has become of me?
Turns out I'm just another link in your chain
You are still the girl that I used to know
All this time I've been too blind to see
I'm nothin' to you but just savory meat
Led by your instincts, you're a carnivore
That crazy look in your eyes is divine, girl
But ooh, I'm crazy for you
Can we turn back time
You are still the girl that I used to know
All this time I've been too blind to see
I'm nothin' to you but just savory meat
Led by your instincts, you're a carnivore
The lyrics of Bear Ghost's song She-Wrecks portray a love story that went wrong. The singer admits to being enamored by a girl who had a mean streak, much to the dismay of his friends. He confesses his love for her, even after she consumed him entirely, leaving him in pieces. He reminisces about her loud personality, bewitching smile, and crazy demeanor with a hint of regret.
However, the tone of the song shifts towards the end, where the singer realizes that he was nothing but a link in her chain, led by her carnivorous instincts. He begins to feel small and insignificant, like savory meat, and the pain from the heartbreak only increases with time. He concludes that he was too blind to see the girl's true intentions, and she was always a predator looking for her next meal.
The lyrics of this song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about falling in love with someone who may not have your best interests at heart. For the singer, it was too late to realize that the girl he was in love with was a predator who used him for her own selfish desires.
