Bass Rattle Stars Out the Sky
Death Grips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody anybody anybody everybody
Get off me
Everybody ain't nobody, anybody ain't nobody
Get off me

Bury two thumb disappear three eye run among you
Bass rattle stars out the sky
Never not at war-torn mystic sheddin' bands' form of linguistic
Subliminal exit lurk in cryptic black Google search it won't find shit
Fifth attitude bury all my business

Bury two thumb disappear three eye run among you
Bass rattle stars out the sky

Chemical leak melts your reef dry heave crease your knees
Python in your belly nauseous, got the chills
Draw the blinds it's time to get
Can't explain it's a feeling inhale the moment
Till I scorch your lips don't hurt me
Gypsy gallop does you dirty
Peak at three-thirty in the morning with your
Voice in my headquarters and I'll take you there

Everybody anybody anybody everybody
Get off me
Everybody ain't nobody, anybody ain't nobody
Get off me

Bury me two thumb disappear three eye I run among you
Bass rattle stars out the sky

Sudden death in the west london connect live and direct
Mad cow on the beat break me speed lace your senses
Can't think straight I can't relate, it's all a dream mate leave a message
I'm slangin' pain in the paint can't make it stop
Said knock that off I rep that gutter fly
Come from from where you run from hide ain't no level 'bove this high
Off I rep that gutter fly, off I rep that gutter fly
Bass rattle stars out the sky

Get off me

Everybody anybody anybody everybody
Get off me
Everybody ain't nobody, anybody ain't nobody
Get off me





Bury two thumb disappear three eye run
among you base rattle stars out the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bass Rattle Stars Out the Sky" by Death Grips are enigmatic and open to interpretation, but they contain unmistakable imagery of violence, escape, and symbolism of stars. The song begins with the lyrics "Everybody anybody anybody everybody/Get off me" which can be interpreted as an expression of a desire for solitude or being ignored by others. The next lines "Everybody ain't nobody, anybody ain't nobody/Get off me" suggest a feeling of isolation and disconnection from society.


The chorus that repeats thrice, "Bury two thumb disappear three eye run among you/Bass rattle stars out the sky," is ambiguous, but references the burials of two thumbs and a third eye, and running. These lines could be seen as violent, with the suggestion of burying body parts, or a metaphor for escaping society with one's senses heightened like the nocturnal creatures that see in the dark using night vision. The title of the song, "Bass Rattle Stars Out the Sky" could refer to a feeling of power or the ability to shake things up, or it could reference the awe-inspiring effect of a powerful bass line on a listener.


The second verse contains surrealistic, sensory descriptions of chemical leaks and the python in the belly that could be understood as hallucinogenic and disturbing, and then emphasizes the importance of seizing the moment because life is ephemeral. The last lines of the song are "Bury two thumb disappear three eye run among you/Base rattle stars out the sky" again, hammering on the theme of escapism while offering no concrete resolution.
