Matador Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're starin' the face of a bull
And you got no one left to fool
What do you do
What do you do

When you're grindin' your teeth to the bone
And you're feelin' so alone
What do you do
It's time to move

Take a breath, and feel what's comin'
Look at death, and see it runnin'
Take a breath, and feel what's comin'
Look at death, and see it runnin'

Take a breath, and feel what's comin'
Look at death, and see it runnin'
Take a breath, and feel what's comin'
Look at death, and see it runnin'

Ole ole ole
Ole dale ole
Ole ole ole
Ole dale ole

Ole ole ole
Ole dale ole




Ole ole ole
Ole dale ole

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matador's song "Matador" seem to describe a person facing a difficult, possibly dangerous situation where they feel as if they have no one left to rely on. Whether this situation is literal (as in, facing a bull) or metaphorical is up to interpretation, but the emotions described are quite clear. The second stanza mentions feeling alone and grinding your teeth, likely due to stress or anxiety. But the refrain, "take a breath, and feel what's comin', look at death, and see it runnin'" seems to encourage the listener to face their fears head-on and with bravery. The use of the phrase "look at death" may seem ominous, but it could be interpreted as encouraging the listener to acknowledge their own mortality and that time is precious - so it's better to face challenges head-on rather than run from them. Ultimately, the song seems to be an anthem of courage in the face of adversity.
