Shuffle My Feet
Maxeen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tell you what's true
But what's the point
I can't get to you
And I cannot get a date
You know me
I'll be late
I shuffle my feet
To the beat on the city street
And I don't wanna
Lay you a line
I haven't had a motor
In quite some time
Materials are rubbish
And since I've grown
The less I have
The more I own
I shuffle my feet
To the beat on the city street
Don't get in my way
I gotta deadline to meet
Don't ask me for change
I barely eat
Nothing stops me
Once my feet hit the concrete
Shuffle my feet
Shuffly my feet to the beat
On the city street
Boy
Don't get in my way
I gotta deadline to meet
Don't ask me for change
I barely eat
Nothing stops me once my feet
Hit the concrete
The lyrics of Maxeen's song "Shuffle My Feet" convey a sense of frustration and resignation towards unrequited love and the struggles of daily life. The singer addresses a person he cares for but cannot reach, expressing his desire to open up and be truthful, yet acknowledging the futility of doing so. He feels stuck and disconnected, unable to connect with others or move forward in his personal and professional life. The image of shuffling his feet to the beat of the city street highlights the monotony and routine of his existence, as well as his resilience and determination to keep going despite the obstacles.
The verses are filled with clever wordplay and metaphors, such as the alliteration of "date" and "late" in the second line, or the comparison of his dormant love life to a motor that hasn't been started in a while. The chorus is catchy and anthemic, with a simple but effective melody that encourages the listener to sway along. The bridge adds a touch of defiance and energy, as the singer declares that nothing can stop him once he sets his mind to something. Overall, "Shuffle My Feet" is a relatable and engaging song that captures the ups and downs of modern urban living with sincerity and wit.
