whore
Dave Navarro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gave you everything
And you are a whore
I gave you my love
And you are a whore
I gave you my heart
And you are a whore
Ooh, whore
I'll go around the world
You are a whore
Make lot's of money
And you are a whore
MTV with Kennedy
And you are a whore




I'll fall in love again
And you are a whore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Whore" by Dave Navarro are an unapologetic and raw expression of the singer's pain and frustration after a failed relationship. The repetition of "I gave you everything" in the beginning of the song highlights the depth of Navarro's investment and emotional involvement in the relationship. However, the use of the word "whore" to describe his former partner suggests a deep sense of betrayal, moral corruption, and resentment. The lyrics reveal Navarro's feelings of being used, taken advantage of, and abandoned by someone he trusted and loved.


Moreover, the lyrics also illustrate Navarro's coping mechanism of detachment and self-preservation. He plans to travel the world, make lots of money, and fall in love again. While these actions may initially seem like a form of revenge or moving on, they also suggest a retreat from vulnerability and intimacy. Navarro uses his music and fame as a shield against potential future hurt, which ultimately perpetuates a cycle of pain and disconnection.


The intensity of "Whore" is further emphasized by the driving, heavy instrumentation and Navarro's powerful vocals. The song reflects the post-grunge and alternative rock sound that Navarro was known for during the 1990s. Navarro wrote the song during his time with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but it was eventually released as a solo track on his album "Trust No One" in 2001.
