Walking
E.U.W.W Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt,hah
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah
And what he knows you ain't have time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you




Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin'

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from Nancy Sinatra's hit song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" released in 1966. The song is from the perspective of a woman who has had enough of her lover's infidelity and lies. She warns him that she's not going to tolerate it anymore, and her boots are made for walking all over him if he doesn't change his ways. The chorus repeats the phrase, "These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days, these boots are gonna walk all over you," emphasizing her determination to leave him.


The lyrics use a play on words to convey the message. The boots mentioned in the song are a symbol of power and independence. They represent the woman's agency and ability to take control of her life. By saying that her boots are going to "walk all over" him, she's not only referring to physical actions but also emotional and psychological ones. The boots are a reminder to the man of the strength and resilience of the woman he's taken for granted.


The melody of the song is upbeat and catchy, making it a perfect fit for the dancefloor. The lyrics also became a symbol of female empowerment during the '60s, inspiring women to stand up for themselves and break the mold of conventional gender roles.

Hey! That’s us! Jag hade precis skaffat mig en MPC1000 i början av dessa sessions och alla beats är resultat av experimentering med en beatmaskin som jag inte riktigt visste hur den fungerade 😄
