Trigger Happy
Lasse Lindh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard to see you these days, the blur is calling you in
You came a long way for me, true, but so did I
You've done some good things for me, true, but so have I
I shoot from my hips, I'm trigger happy too
I shoot our love down, I'm trigger happy too
We smell of gasoline and self-destructive fuel
We smell of evil death and all that we have become
I shoot our love down, I'm trigger happy too
The lyrics to Lasse Lindh's song Trigger Happy speak to a relationship that has lost its luster. The opening lines suggest that the singer no longer feels the same physical attraction to their partner as they once did, noting that their "texture" is gone, and their "skin feels like nothing." The partner is also becoming more distant, as if being called away by a "blur" that is passing them by.
Despite the history of the relationship, with both partners having done "good things" for each other, the singer admits to being "trigger happy" in love. They shoot down their own love, as well as their partner's. There is a sense of nihilism and despair running throughout the lyrics. The couple is compared to being soaked in gasoline, with self-destructive tendencies leading to an "evil death" and everything they have become.
Overall, the song seems to be a plea for help, an acknowledgment of the self-destructive tendencies of a relationship that has gone off course. Communication has broken down, empathy has ceased, and both partners are left feeling aimless, triggered by past pains and mistakes.
