I Got
Margot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I caught a bad case of the shivers
I caught a bad case of the blues
And I've got some bad news for you
Some bad news for you

I was in trouble with the law
Serious trouble with the law
And I want to get you alone
Peel off the clothes

Evelyn, your spine cracks like a wineglass
Evelyn, your spine cracks
Evelyn, your spine cracks like a wineglass
Evelyn, your spine cracks

I was a lonely captive of your silhouette
And I am bugging so pass me the slug
And I want to gouge out your eyes, splinter your spine
I want to gouge out your eyes, splinter your spine

Evelyn, your skull pops like a woman
Evelyn, your skull pops




Evelyn, your skull pops like a woman
Evelyn

Overall Meaning

Margot's song "I Got" features dark and violent lyrics, with a haunting melody that leaves a lasting impression on the listener. The song seems to describe a twisted and obsessive relationship between the singer and a woman named Evelyn. The title line, "I caught a bad case of the shivers," sets the tone of the song, with Margot admitting to feeling a combination of fear and arousal towards Evelyn. The next line, "I caught a bad case of the blues," implies a feeling of despair and hopelessness, as the singer realizes the unhealthy nature of their relationship.


The lyrics take a disturbing turn when Margot sings, "I was in trouble with the law, serious trouble with the law," suggesting that the singer has committed a crime related to the object of their obsession. The lines "I want to gouge out your eyes, splinter your spine" are particularly jarring, hinting at a violent and sadistic desire towards Evelyn. The repeated verses about Evelyn's spine and skull "popping" and "cracking like a wineglass" further amplify the sense of physical violence.

This really broke my whole reality the other day. I always thought margot is the peak of beauty and confidence, and for her to admit that she dosent see that for herself gave me this sense of validity and clarity. Even the most beautiful people struggle to see their own beauty and love themselves as much as others do around them

@whtgrll

theres no human perfect on the earth, it is common of her to say that, even if we see her as sexy and beautiful, it's normal if her feelings are like that

@maureenohya

It’s a good feeling knowing I’m not alone with feeling not so sexy a lot, and almost always love never works out for me. Cheers to Margot for being real as fuck, it was comforting seeing this

@s.f.694

She's so sweet and genuine and it makes her even more beautiful

@AA-qb7ni

This is so real and beautiful. I love her.

@avesquigs

Queen of modesty and beauty

@TheFabricioosousaa

everything that she does is stunning! even a 25 sec video!

@paulinhox360

This woman is phenomenal!

@madmax9769

Why am I only seeing this now! Damn, she's such a stunning beauty but still so down to earth!

@abdul6514
