Hey Now
Deathbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wont you talk all crazy for me
Hey now child
Wont you bring your smile for free
Oh it's times like this, it's another twist
I will take you for just one last kiss
Oh spin your wheels
I can break some hearts,
Hurt you like I should
But you're welcome back
Come on down
Spin yourself into the ground
Oh watch your back
Hey now sugar
You're a lonely time murder I'm told
With your rusty pockets
Hey don't you feel so old
But there's blood to bleed
Hey don't you think I know
Oh spin your wheels
Tell me it feels good
I can break some hearts,
Hurt you like I should
But you're welcome back
Come on down
Spin yourself into the ground
Oh watch your back
Oh it's times like this, it's another twist
I will take you for just one last kiss
Oh spin your wheels
Tell me it feels good
I can break some hearts,
Hurt you like I should
But you're welcome back
Come on down
Spin yourself into the ground
Oh watch your back
The lyrics in Deathbot's song "Hey Now" convey a message of manipulation and deceit, with the singer urging the listener to act reckless and give themselves up to him. The lines "Wont you talk all crazy for me" and "Wont you bring your smile for free" suggest that the singer is trying to coax the listener into acting out of character and doing things they may not normally do. The line "You're a lonely time murder I'm told" implies that the listener is someone who has experienced a lot of pain and heartache, making them vulnerable to manipulation.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated lines of "Spin your wheels" and "Hurt you like I should" suggest the singer's desire to control and hurt the listener for their own pleasure. The line "But you're welcome back" comes across as insincere, and implies that the singer is using the listener and discarding them when they are no longer useful.
Overall, "Hey Now" is a dark song that deals with themes of manipulation and control. The seductive and menacing tone of the lyrics coupled with the heavy electronic beats create a haunting and unsettling atmosphere that leaves the listener feeling uneasy.
