Your Mouth
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your mouth is going to get you killed one day
You open it a lot, in the most casual of ways
It's the ugliest part, of your entire face
And one of these days, one of these days
I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth one day
I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth one day

Your mouth even tries to defend
The statements that you make designed only to offend
And you try to repair, that which you cannot mend
And one of these days, one of these days
I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth one day
I'm gonna beat your mouth




I'm gonna beat your mouth
I'm gonna beat your mouth one day

Overall Meaning

Ginger's song "Your Mouth" is a powerful critique of the negative effects that unsolicited words can have on relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer's mouth constantly gets them into trouble, as they often speak without thinking - even if it causes offense. This problem is deeply ingrained, as the mouth is described as the "ugliest part" of their body. The singer seems to be reaching the end of their patience, as they state their intention to "beat" the mouth one day.


The second verse deepens the critique, as the mouth is accused not only of speaking recklessly, but of actively defending hurtful statements and pretending to repair the damage. This behavior is considered futile, as there are some things that the mouth simply cannot "mend". The repeated refrain of "I'm gonna beat your mouth" shows how the singer has had enough and is ready to take action against the destructive force of the singer's speech.


Overall, "Your Mouth" is a cautionary tale about the power of words and the importance of thinking before speaking. While the language is harsh, it is clear that the singer's motivation is to help the singer learn to communicate more effectively and reduce the harm caused by their thoughtless words.
