Some say they hail from Wisconsin, some say their accents on stage betray a New Jersey heritage and some people think they’re just Chixdiggit in disguise, but one thing’s for sure, Blue and the gang have been crafting some of the sweetest pop-punk gems about breaking and entering, stalking, and muggings that you’ve ever heard. Not many grown men in ski masks can claim to be the very favorite band of Fat Mike’s daughter, for example (not many men in ski masks should be around children at all) but that’s what makes Masked Intruder so special. They’re more than a gimmick. They’ve got chops. They’re weird, kinda arty, fairly goofy, vaguely dumb, relentlessly smart and they appeal to pretty much everyone, from their fellow hardened criminals to little girls and everyone in between.
Now, they’re back on the lam in support of M.I., featuring thirteen tracks of broken hearts, broken promises and breaking and entering. Recorded by Matt Alison at Atlas Studios in Chicago (Alkaline Trio, Lawrence Arms, Menzingers), M.I. boasts the Intruders at their toe tapping, jewelry stealing best. I mean, if there’s a better title for a love song than Don’t Run Away, I sure as hell haven’t heard it.
In support of M.I., and in order to stay a step ahead of their parole officers, the Intruder duders are hitting the road nonstop, traversing the globe, from Europe to Australia to the US of A, with bands like the Dwarves, Face To Face and more, bringing their heart-stealing songs to the people, all while merch dude, stage security and exquisitely mustached lawman Officer Bradford makes sure that hearts are the only things Masked Intruder steals. Officer Bradford may not wear a smile during a Masked Intruder show, but everyone else in the house sure is, and you can bet your ass that whether live or on record, the boys in Masked Intruder are sure to have you singing along and looking for your wallet. Oh, that prison in Louisiana is called Angola. Score one for memory. Take that, Google.
Heart Shaped Guitar
Masked Intruder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First saw you I knew
You were the one for me.
I just want you to know
How I feel,
That's why I'm standing here
At 3am
Out in your front yard
On a Heart Shaped Guitar.
And I hope you hear me,
And I hope you care,
And you put on a smile,
And you come down stairs.
Dude, you're freaking me out,
Seriously.
What the f**k is wrong with you?
I don't even know you.
I'm calling the cops.
Why are you standing there
At 3 am
Out in my front yard
Singing stupid love songs
On a Heart Shaped Guitar?
And I don't wanna hear it
Cause I don't even care.
The police are on their way,
So just stay right there.
Girl Dude
Ever since I
You're freaking me out
First saw you I knew
Seriously
You were the one for me. I
Don't even know you
Just want you to know
I'm calling the cops
How I feel
What are you doing
That's why I'm standing here.
At 3am
Out in your
My front yard
Singing you a love song
Singing stupid love songs
On a Heart Shaped Guitar.
And I hope you hear me,
And I hope you care
The police are on their way,
So just stay right there.
I love you.
Get real dude.
I need you
You need mental help.
I'll do anything.
Stay away from me.
I need your love.
The song "Heart Shaped Guitar" by Masked Intruder is a humorous take on unrequited love and obsessive behavior. The singer of the song is a hopeless romantic who is deeply in love with a girl he saw once and believes she is the one for him. He goes to extreme lengths by standing outside her house at 3am with a heart-shaped guitar and singing love songs in the hope that she will hear him and reciprocate his feelings. However, the girl is not interested in him and finds his behavior creepy and disturbing. She calls the police, and the song ends with the singer still trying to profess his love for her, while the girl tells him to stay away from her and get some mental help.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a satire on the trope of the love-struck stalker in popular culture. The song's catchy melody and upbeat tempo contrast with the dark and obsessive subject matter, creating a sense of unease that adds to the song's humor. It also highlights the ridiculous nature of such behavior and how it can ultimately lead to legal trouble and a poor reputation. The song's lyrics can be seen as a cautionary tale for those who may go to extreme lengths to find love and how it can end badly.
