Shake
Mando Diao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting patiently
For your love to set me free
Been starving for too long on my own

Gravity can hold you down
Shooting through my lonely mind
Won't you take me home?
Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here
I need somebody to call me honey
Girl, you got me
Won't you take me home?

Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here
I need somebody to call me honey
Girl, you got me
Won't you take me home?

I've been trying endlessly
To deny this chemistry
How long can this go on
I wanna know

Waking up the beast in me
From a dream to ecstasy
Won't you take me home?

Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here
I need somebody to call me honey
Girl, you got me
Won't you take me home?

Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here
I need somebody to call me honey
Girl, you got me
Won't you take me home?

Oh, find me up
(Find me up!)
Don't please me
Just find me up
(Find me up)
Don't tease me
(Don't tease me)
Just find me up
(Find me up)
Don't tease me
(Don't tease me)
Don't tease me
(Don't tease me)
Hey, girl!
Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here

Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here
I need somebody to call me honey
Girl, you got me
Won't you take me home?

Shake me all around
Shake me to the ground
Shake me with no fear
Shake me out of here
I need somebody to call me honey




Girl, you got me
Won't you take me home?

Overall Meaning

The song Shake by Mando Diao is about a person who has been waiting patiently for someone's love to set them free. They are tired of being alone and starving for affection. The lyrics say that even though gravity can hold us down, we can still be shook by someone that we love. The singer is asking the girl to take them home and to shake them out of their current state of loneliness.


The words "Shake me all around" suggest that the singer is looking for a drastic change to their current situation. They want to be taken out of their current circumstances and brought somewhere new. The repetitiveness of the chorus emphasizes the need for the girl to take the singer away from their loneliness and shake them into a new life.


The lyrics "I've been trying endlessly to deny this chemistry" indicates that the singer has been trying to suppress their feelings for this person, but they can't deny the magnetism between them. They are waking up the "beast" within them and want to explore the chemistry they share with the person they're singing to.
