Shake
Jet Trash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to know
Does your blood bleed red?
Have you vacant thoughts in your empty head?

Oh, shake me up!
C'mon, wear me out, boy
Shake me up!
You're just a bundle of joy
Alright!

My hands are shaking
Knees are weak
I click my heels on a losing streak

Shake me up!
While the night is young
Shake me up!
We're just having fun
Alright!

We're just having fun
But it's nights like these
I know you're gonna shake me up

C'mon, shake me up!
Ah, shake!
Hey!

Give me daggers
A hole in the head
I want to know
Does your blood bleed red?

Shake me up!
C'mon, wear me out, boy
Shake me up!
You're just a bundle of joy
Alright!

She says "alright"

Now you got me on my knees
You got me begging please
C'mon and shake me up

C'mon, shake me up!
Ah, shake!
C'mon, shake!
Shake!




Shake!
Shake!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jet Trash's "Shake" are a mix of playful seduction and a deeper questioning of the other person's inner self. The song begins with the hopeful inquiry of whether the other person has a real personality with distinct thoughts and feelings. The first verse is followed by a dreamy chorus that uses the repeated phrase, "Shake me up!" as an invitation to let loose and have fun. The lyrics become more desperate as the song progresses, with the singer confessing their vulnerability and their hesitancy to fully trust the other person. Despite this, the song ultimately ends on a hopeful note. The repetition of "Shake!" is an encouragement to let go and allow oneself to be caught up in the moment.

It's a good song, and should've got more likes. But they're not in VEVO. VEVO allows you to start a band, to get more views for your songs. But they didn't sign up in VEVO.. so they get less views.
