Shook
Dralms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well my thoughts they are not clear,
but this feeling's holding tight.
When I woke I was covered in your scent,
With bruises on my wrist, scratches on my neck
and we both know what we've been dreaming of
and we both know what we're looking for
and we both know what we've been dreaming of
Well I think I dreamt of you last night
Well my thoughts they are not clear,
but these feelings holding tight
When I woke I was covered in you scent,
With bruises on my wrist, scratches on my neck
and we both know what we've been dreaming of
and we both know what we're looking for!
You're the best I ever had, I must admit,
You're the best I ever had, I must admit
You're the best I ever had, I must admit
Oh oh, oh, my better half you come
and plastic crumbles to the floor
The lyrics to Dralms's song Shook describe a dream-like state where the singer is caught between their thoughts and their feelings, holding onto a moment that seems to have passed but is still lingering with them. The "bruises on my wrist, scratches on my neck" suggest a physical encounter with the person they dreamed of, one that they both were looking for and have been dreaming of. The repetition of the phrase "we both know what we've been dreaming of" emphasizes both the dream-like state and the mutual understanding between the two individuals.
The line "you're the best I ever had, I must admit" suggests that this encounter was particularly special or significant for the singer. They are admitting that this person is the best they have ever been with, emphasizing the intensity of their feelings. The final line, "my better half you come and plastic crumbles to the floor," is more cryptic in meaning, but seems to suggest that the person they have been dreaming of is their missing half, and that their union is both powerful and transformative.
Overall, the lyrics of Shook evoke a dream-like state of desire and deep intensity. The vivid imagery, repetition, and vague mention of physical encounters all add to the sense of being caught in a moment of heightened emotion and desire.

Well I think I dreamt of you this night
All my thoughts, they are not clear
But these feelings hold intact
When I woke I was covered in your scent
With bruises on my wrist, scratches on my neck
[Chorus]
And we both know what we've been dreaming of
And we both know what we're looking for
And we both know what we've been dreaming of
And we both know what we're looking for
