Tiny Daggers
INXS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever stop to wonder
Should I question
Move a stone look under
Should I judge

How you have changed my friend
You're not the same my friend
Do you lose sleep at night
Do you ever stop to think
Where it went wrong for you
Who turned your reds to blue

Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart

Ever stop to wonder
I should not question
Move a stone look under
I should not judge

They say you're never lonely
They say you're with the best
But when they turn those lights out
I bet you spin and turn
And cry just like the rest
And cry just like a baby

Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart

Ever stop to wonder
I should not question
Move a stone look under
I should not judge

No need for desperation
No need for sweet revenge
Please try to remember
The door is always there
Don't you walk on by
The door is always there

All you want to do is kick it in
All you got to do is walk right in

Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart

Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart

Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Oh yeah




In your heart
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of INXS's "Tiny Daggers" speak about friendship, change, and inner turmoil. The start of the song questions whether one should ask questions or pass judgments. The lyrics then switch to talk about how a friend has changed, and how the singer wonders if the friend ever thinks about where things went wrong. The song continues with the questioning of loneliness and a facade of happiness others may see from the outside.


The pre-chorus reassures the friend that there is no need to seek revenge, and that the door is always open for them. It calls for the friend to walk right in and leave their troubles behind. The chorus repeats the central question of the song, "Who put those tiny daggers in your heart?", seeking an answer for the pain and turmoil felt by the friend.


The song's message is about the importance of being supportive and empathetic towards those around us, especially when we notice a change in them. It asks us to look beyond the facade of happiness and success and to be a comforting presence when someone is struggling.
