Imperial Mammoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We just try to wait it out
Hold on 'til the shaking's done
Yeah you know we have some fun
I got room right on my floor
Say you'll be my paramour
Hold me like we've reached the end
With nothing held back, nothing held back
We can make the ground move
We can make the ground move
We can make the ground move
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
I can feel you shake-shaking
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
I can feel you shake-shaking
I felt when the big one hit
Saw the cars drive off the bridge
Watched the sky fill up with ash
Yeah I know it's coming back
But I got room right on my floor
Say you'll be my paramour
Take me to your safest place
Where nothing's held back, nothing held back
And it's always shaking in my head, head
It's better to forget

When the ground starts freaking out
When the earth beneath us trembles and shakes
We just try to wait it out
We patiently wait until the shaking stops
Hold on 'til the shaking's done
Hold on tight until the tremors cease
Yeah you know we have some fun
Despite the danger, we find enjoyment in the chaos
I got room right on my floor
I have a space for you in my home
Say you'll be my paramour
Ask me to be your lover
Hold me like we've reached the end
Embrace me tightly like it's the end of the world
With nothing held back, nothing held back
Without any reservations or inhibitions

I can feel you shake-shaking
I can sense that you are shaking
I felt when the big one hit
I experienced a major earthquake
Saw the cars drive off the bridge
Witnessed vehicles falling from a bridge during the quake
Watched the sky fill up with ash
Observed the air becoming filled with ash from natural disaster
Yeah I know it's coming back
I am aware that the disaster could happen again
Take me to your safest place
Bring me to the location where you feel most secure and protected
Where nothing's held back, nothing held back
Where we can be entirely honest and vulnerable with each other
And it's always shaking in my head, head
I cannot shake the memory of the earthquake from my mind
It's better to forget
Although it's difficult, forgetting about the disaster is the best course of action

@justsomeguy4206
I’m not ashamed to admit that I came here because of Bojack. It had a really good soundtrack
@ReMattch
What a scene in Bojack Horseman, you think the beacon of happiness will continue for him and he'll be happy where he is, but it all comes crashing down as he is reminded he's not young anymore
@cesaribarra2352
+EkoGrande That's the hook of the series and I find it quite interesting.
@NickIsReviews
completely agreed
@vanihm
It's not really about age - Bojack knows that he and Charlotte aren't young anymore but what he fails to realize is that others have moved on in life while he has not. So in a way Penny coming on to him reminds him that he isn't the father figure he thinks he is and that she can relate to him because of how immature he is.

Says Shameless in the title,
But we all here from Bojack
@darksunlight100
An amazing coincidence, these two tv shows are the only shows that make me hunt for their music, I honestly don't know where they find these crazy tracks.
