He Took Her to a Movie
Felix da Housecat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He met her in the fall, he took her to a movie
And when they'd done it all, he took her to a movie
And from the hospital, he took her to a movie
But so did I

and when her heart was sad, he took her to a movie
She's all he's ever had, he took her to a movie
And should their love turn bad, he took her to a movie
But so did I

I think she's been alone, he took her to a movie
When they cut off the phone, he took her to a movie
And when her cover's blown, he took her to a movie
But so did I

there's nothing on TV, he took her to a movie
But she's the one for me, he took her to a movie




We're at number three, he took her to a movie
But so did I

Overall Meaning

In Felix da Housecat's "He Took Her to a Movie," the singer is envious of the male figure in the song who seems to constantly take the woman to see films, often in times of distress. The lyrics suggest that the woman is all the male has and that films are a way to fix her sadness or distract her from her problems. Although the singer seems bitter, he is guilty of the same thing and has also taken her to see movies when the woman is down. Interestingly, Felix emphasizes the repetition of the phrase "he took her to a movie" throughout the song, which could highlight the mundane nature of their relationship and hint at the monotony of their dates.


The lyrics suggest a cycle of comfort and distraction, which may be unfulfilling in the long term. Though the woman may enjoy going to the movies as an escape, the singer's jealousy implies that the little things the other male figure does won her heart, but may not be enough to keep her satisfied. The song evokes a sense of dissatisfaction with the mundane as well as the feeling of being on the outside looking in at a relationship that appears unremarkable.
