Hey
Fashion Victims Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been trying to meet you
Mmm...
Hey!
Must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at the door
Whore in my bed
Where
Have you
Been?
If you go, I will surely die.
We're chained...
We're chained...
We're chained...
Chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
'UH!',
Said the man to the lady
Mmm...
'UH!',
Said the lady to the man she adored
And the whores like a choir, UH UH!
All night
And Mary, ain't you tired of this?
'UH!'
Is
The
Sound
That the mother makes when the baby breaks!
We're chained...
We're chained...
We're chained...
We're chained...
We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
(Chained) We're chained...
The song Hey by Fashion Victims starts with the singer addressing someone they have been trying to meet. The tone of the song quickly becomes ominous when the singer mentions a possible devil between them or whores in their head, door, and bed. Despite these negative elements, the singer still desires to know where this person has been, and says that if they go, they will surely die. This sense of desperation and being chained to this person is further emphasized with the repetition of "we're chained" throughout the song.
The second half of the song switches to a different scene, where a man and a woman are making noises of passion, and the whores are joining in like a choir. The singer interrupts this scene by asking if Mary isn't tired of this, and then compares the sound of the mother when the baby breaks to the "UH!" noises of passion. The song ends with the repetition of "we're chained", leaving a sense of entrapment and uncertainty.
Overall, the song Hey by Fashion Victims explores themes of obsession, addiction, and toxic relationships. The singer is consumed by their desire for this person, despite a sense of danger and negativity surrounding them. The repeated use of "we're chained" suggests that they feel trapped in this dynamic, unable to escape from their fixation. The comparison of sexual pleasure to the pain of childbirth adds an additional layer of discomfort to the song.
