Gave Me The Clap
Crash Romeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna see you clap your hands
I wanna feel it
Can you feel it? (yeah)
I wanna see you rip my heart out
And give it back to me
The way it used to be
(Well good luck with that)
I wanna see you lying here
For the world to see
You scream over onwards back to me

I tried and I tried but my arms couldn't reach
To appease your guilt,
Just wanna do it for, me

[Chorus:]
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP YOUR HANDS
We will lead you on (lead you on)
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP YOUR HANDS
We will lead you on (lead you on)

And you'll drop names like bombs
To anyone at all
That'll take a turn and turn
Discrediting, every word
That you said in worst regards to –
Everyone you can't compare too
Slay your head and scream (Yeah-y-Yeahh)

[Chorus]

And no one had the heart to tell you
You're nothing but a pretty face
You're meaningless in the scheme of things
And everything you wanted to say
About the way I'd never change
So cut your losses
You made your own mistakes
(and it's too late)

[Chorus]

[Chorus]





YEAH
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP YOUR HANDS.

Overall Meaning

The song "Gave Me The Clap" by Crash Romeo is a punk-rock song with lyrics that reflect the singer's frustration and anger towards his partner. The first verse describes the singer's desire to see his partner clap her hands and feel the energy in the atmosphere. However, in contrast to this hopeful image, the singer then expresses his longing for his partner to rip his heart out and give it back to him, hoping to return things to how they used to be. The sarcastic tone in the last line of this verse shows that the singer is doubtful that his partner will ever be able to do that.


The second verse seems to convey the singer's desire to publicly humiliate his partner, making her lie exposed while she screams for him to take her back. However, the singer also admits that he has tried to fix things but ultimately failed to do so. The chorus of the song features the repetition of the phrase "Clap Your Hands," urging listeners to join in and follow their lead. The second half of the chorus has more emphasis on the phrase "Lead you on" which can be interpreted as a warning sign for the listeners to avoid making the same mistake as the singer.


The third and final verse implies that the partner in question is nothing more than a pretty face who lacks depth and meaning. The singer accuses his partner of speaking ill of him behind his back to discredit him in front of others. The last line of the song, "And it's too late," could mean that the relationship has already reached its breaking point, and the singer has moved on.
