So I Hear You're Moving
Lambchop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I wanna be cuddled
I wanna find me a real nice girl
With a nice little butt oh
Neighborhood's getting better and I'm moving out
Neighborhood's getting better and I'm moving out
They'll blow your mind
Blow your wad tonight
Well, I wanna be stained
Yeah, I wanna be bottled
I wanna live in a real live house
Not a scale model
Oh, now if I knew when, then would it be easy?
Oh, now if I knew when, then would it be easy?
Oh, I don't know
Oh, I got drugs
They'll blow your mind
Blow your wad tonight
Yeah, I wanna be held
I wanna be hated
When I get old yeah, I wanna be sedated
[Incomprehensible] hours a day
I wanna be sedated
Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours a day
I wanna be sedated
Oh, I got drugs
They'll blow your mind
Blow your wad tonight
Here comes the break
Here comes the kicker now
Here comes the break
Here comes the kicker now
Here comes the break
The lyrics to Lambchop's song "So I Hear You're Moving" paint an interesting picture of someone who is feeling a bit lost and disillusioned with their current situation. The opening lines express a desire for physical affection and companionship, while also referencing a longing for a "real nice girl" with a particular physical attribute. This desire for connection is juxtaposed against the singer's plans to leave their current neighborhood, which is apparently improving, for reasons that aren't entirely clear.
As the song progresses, the singer's sense of uncertainty and dislocation becomes more pronounced. They allude to drug use and feelings of being "stained" and "bottled," perhaps suggesting a sense of shame or guilt. The chorus, a repeated declaration of having drugs that will "blow your mind," suggests a certain disregard for safety or consequences, like they're willing to take risks in order to feel something.
Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses a desire to be hated and sedated, which is a stark contrast to the opening lines' desire for affection. The repetition of "twenty, twenty, twenty four hours a day, I wanna be sedated" suggests a kind of numbing or self-destructive impulse that the singer can't shake. The final lines, "Here comes the break/Here comes the kicker now," add a sense of foreboding and tension to the song's already unsettling mood.
Overall, the lyrics to "So I Hear You're Moving" present a complex and sometimes contradictory portrait of someone who is struggling with their own sense of identity and purpose. Lines about desire and connection are juxtaposed with references to drugs and nihilism, while the song's powerful closing lines suggest that something explosive and transformative is about to happen.
