Narc
Cutouts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sell you all out
I'll tell you my secret
Not enough love?
How bout a pick-me-up

Year of the rooster
Forever raw
Year of the rat
Baby I'm a narc for your love

Lean in close
I'll show you what you wanna see
I'm not pretty
I just know how to work the angles

Year of the rooster
Cock of the walk
Year of the rat
Baby I'm a narc for your love

I'm coming home
I'm coming home




Coming home
Home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cutouts' song "Narc" depict someone who is willing to sell out and reveal their own secrets for a pick-me-up of love. The lines "sell you all out" and "I'll tell you my secret" suggest that the person is willing to compromise their own values and betray others for the sake of their own desires. The chorus mentions the "year of the rooster" and the "year of the rat," which could be interpreted as references to the Chinese zodiac. The line "forever raw" could mean that the person is always seeking something more, never satisfied or content. The line "Baby I'm a narc for your love" suggests that the person is so addicted to this love that it starts to become their obsession.


The second verse shifts focus to the singer's appearance and presentation. They claim that they aren't particularly attractive, but they know how to work the angles to make themselves look appealing. The use of the phrase "cock of the walk" in reference to the year of the rooster reinforces the idea of the singer's confidence and self-assuredness. The chorus repeats the same structure as before, with the singer proclaiming their addiction for this love.


The final section of the song simply repeats the line "I'm coming home" several times, perhaps indicating that the singer is returning to the person they have been singing about or that they are coming back to themselves and their true desires.

This is so fucking cool on so many levels. Gives me a cyberpunk techno vampire vibes somehow too.
