Knock Knock
Matt Martians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just making sure
'Cause you seem kinda crazy i don't know
Knock-knock, is she home?
Little whereabouts are unknown
No one upstairs in her room
Don't care what she says, don't make no sense
Merry-Go-Round i'm hurt
I think I know now, undercover
How could I drown distant lovers?
Someone put me out
Just knock if you're there
Knock-knock, is she home?
Little whereabouts are unknown
No one upstairs in her room
Don't care what she says, don't make no sense
What in the world?
How can I make you my girl?
When you never show me your world?
But I keep on coming back, coming back
Merry-Go-Round i'm hurt
I think I know now, undercover
How could I drown distant lovers?
Someone put me out
Just knock if you're there
Girl, you're so wonderful (So, so wonderful)
You don't even care what kinda shoes I wear
(You don't give a fuck)
And I love you for that (Girl I love you)
Let's get married (Let's do it)
I think it's wonderful you don't
Care about my shoes well I've got new boots
Oh baby you let me have the time of
My life when I had nothing
(when I had nothing) well I've got some news
They can't stop me I've got
New boots on my feet, baby
New boots on feet they can't stop me
New boots on feet they can't stop you
I'd like to thank you
I never thought these would
Be that comfortable but here I am
They can't stop me
I've got new boots on my feet, baby
I'd like to thank you for being there for me
Keeping me warm keeping my feet warm
They can't stop me
I've got new boots on my feet baby
New boots on feet they can't stop me
New boots on feet they can't stop you
Uh, actually, where are my Birkenstocks?
These shit's actually hurt
The song Knock Knock by Matt Martians expresses confusion and frustration towards the unpredictability of a woman that he is into. He starts by wondering if she is fully present or if she is lost in her own thoughts. He proceeds to associate her with a merry-go-round, that is going round and round without stopping. He feels hurt and betrayed by the fact that she never shows him her world, despite his efforts to keep coming back to her. He doesn't understand how he can make her his girl when he knows nothing about her except for her confusing and vague statements.
The chorus then repeats, with the focus on the woman's whereabouts that are unknown, hinting at her elusive nature. The bridge, however, shifts the tone to a more positive one, as Matt Martians praises the woman for not being concerned with materialistic things and allowing him to feel accepted for who he is. Through the metaphor of new boots, he acknowledges her support and contribution to his success, while also lamenting his lack of comfort, possibly hinting at the difficulties that come with their relationship.
Overall, the song portrays the complexity of modern dating and the challenges of understanding someone that is non-traditional in their communication and behavior.
