Giants
Jessy Martens & Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's the way we spell success
Shake me, I'm waiting
In your new ark they're saying
I'm the creature in your sick thing
Everybody sees a giant
And your wind-up gears start grinding
Your teeth feel you smiling
The better, happier you
A better, happier you
When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it's easy
Like you're all out and I'm your man
Baby, I'm your man
Hit me, I'm bleeding
In your lounger, on your grooming
It's the future, it's whoring
The better, happier you
A better, happier you
When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it's easy
Like you're all out, and I'm your man
Baby, I'm your man
When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like we're easy
Like we're all out, and I'm your man
Baby, I'm your man
When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it's easy
Like you're all out and I'm your man
Baby, I'm your man
K-I-C-K-A-S-S
That's the way we spell success...
The song "Giants" by Jessy Martens & Band is a multifaceted piece that explores themes of power, self-discovery, and relationships. The opening lines "K-I-C-K-A-S-S, that's the way we spell success" present a bold and confident statement that sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics use metaphorical language to describe a complex relationship between two people, where one is in control and the other is submissive, illustrated by lines such as "In your new ark they're saying, I'm the creature in your sick thing, everybody sees a giant."
The chorus repeats the phrase "a better, happier you," suggesting that the dominant partner is trying to improve the submissive partner in some way. The imagery of a "bad moon in your heart" and "wind-up gears" grinding portrays a sense of inner turmoil and struggle, yet the song also hints at an underlying love between the two, as seen in the phrase "Like you're all out and I'm your man, baby, I'm your man." Overall, "Giants" seems to be a song about the complexities of power dynamics, as well as the search for personal identity and fulfillment.
