"GASLIGHT!" is a song about taking back the power after someone has tried to gaslight and manipulate you. "It’s a big fuck off to that person … Ha! This song was written so quickly and was really a freestyle between myself and Siiickbrain. This song was super cathartic to write and sing," Lindemann says in a press release.
GASLIGHT!
Maggie Lindemann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gaslight, joyride, landslide, fuck life
Twist the knife, broken heart and paralyzed
Gaslight, joyride, landslide, fuck life
Watch your back, lead me to a homicide
Where do you think
Baby, are you lost
Or just lost in the moment?
Baby, are you lonely
Or just lonely for me?
Where do you think
Where do you think you're goin'?
Come and find me in the lost and found
Baby, listen, can you hear me out?
I'm only in pain when you're not around
Come and find me in the lost and found
Kissing on her neck when you're not around
Shouldn't love a girl just to tear her down
Gaslight, joyride, landslide, fuck life
Twist the knife, broken heart and paralyzed
Gaslight, joyride, landslide, fuck life
Watch your back, lead me to a homicide
Where do you think
Where do you think you're goin'?
Baby, are you lost
Or just lost in the moment?
Baby, are you lonely
Or just lonely for me?
Where do you think
Where do you think you're goin'?
Tell me before it's too late
Your words will dig your own grave
It's time to choose your own fate
Leave me lonely or kill you slowly
Gaslight, joyride, landslide, fuck life
Twist the knife, broken heart and paralyzed
Gaslight, joyride, landslide, fuck life
Watch your back, lead me to a homicide
Where do you think
Where do you think you're goin'?
Baby, are you lost
Or just lost in the moment?
Baby, are you lonely
Or just lonely for me?
Where do you think
Where do you think you're goin'?
The song "Gaslight" by Maggie Lindemann is a powerful expression of hurt and confusion in a relationship that has turned toxic. The title itself refers to a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser causes the victim to doubt their own memories and perception of reality. The lyrics reflect this sense of disorientation and chaos - the "joyride" and "landslide" that have thrown everything off balance, and the feeling of being "paralyzed" and having one's heart "broken". The repeated refrain of "where do you think you're going?" suggests a feeling of desperation and a fear of losing control or losing the other person.
The second verse brings in a new element, as the singer imagines her partner with another woman. The feeling of being replaced is clearly painful, but there is also a sense of numbness and detachment - "I'm only in pain when you're not around". The final lines are perhaps the most chilling, as the singer lays out a stark choice for her partner: leave her alone and lonely, or continue to hurt and damage her until the bitter end.
Overall, the lyrics of "Gaslight" are a powerful depiction of the emotional turmoil and confusion that can come with a toxic relationship, and the sense of fear and desperation that can arise as a result.
