Shave
Enon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Save up your story in your mind container
I know you can shave
Shave off the shadow that's been growin on you
I know you can say
Say that you wanna be the only one
I know you can stay
Stay in your room, its expensive toys
Tie my love up till the end of time
Time, time lover must begin its dying
Tie my love up till the end of time
Time, time lover must begin its dying
I know you can save
Save all your money to secure your favor
I know you can shave
Shave off the pennies and enjoy the few
I know you can say
Say that you're gonna be the only one
I know you can stay
Stay in your room, its expensive toys
Tie my love up till the end of time
Time, time lover must begin its dying
Tie my love up till the end of time
Time, time lover must begin its dying
The lyrics of Enon's song "Shave" speak to the idea of saving and shedding aspects of oneself to achieve a desired outcome. The repetition of the phrases "I know you can save," "I know you can shave," "I know you can say," and "I know you can stay" create a sense of expectation and challenge for the listener to take action. The idea of saving is presented in two contexts. First, there is the suggestion of saving one's story in their mind container, preserving memories or experiences for later reflection. Second, there is the suggestion of saving money to secure one's favor, perhaps in a financial or social sense. The idea of shaving is also presented in two contexts. First, there is the suggestion of shaving off the shadow that has been growing on oneself, implying shedding negative emotions or traits that hinder growth. Second, there is the suggestion of shaving off the pennies and enjoying the few, implying letting go of excess and embracing more minimalist living. The phrases "say that you wanna be the only one" and "stay in your room, its expensive toys" further suggest a desire for exclusivity and materialism.
The chorus of the song, "Tie my love up till the end of time, time lover must begin its dying" presents an intriguing juxtaposition. The idea of tying love up suggests a sense of restriction or confinement, yet it is juxtaposed against the idea that lover must begin dying. This could imply that love, once tied up or confined, loses its vitality and begins to fade away.
Overall, the lyrics of "Shave" encourage the listener to take action, whether it be saving, shaving, saying, or staying. The repetition of the phrases suggests that these actions are attainable and desirable, leading to a greater sense of security and self-discovery.
