My Trigger
Miike Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in the graveyard if looks could kill
But murder ain't your thing, you just shoot to thrill
But if you did, put you in my will, will
Baby let's forget the money, forget the money
Where you're winning
Baby we could chase the sun, you got me gunning
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
They say your body is full of sin
But they can't see the world that we're in
Your body is the portal where peace begins
I give you more, we can take a spin, spin
Baby let's forget the money, forget the money
Where you're winning
Baby we could chase the sun, you got me gunning
Pull my trigger
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh
I got paid and all my dreams came
True, true, true
Now we're waiting in my car for you
You, you
I saw you licking a dollar bill
I'm in the graveyard if looks could kill
But murder ain't your thing, you just shoot to thrill
But if you did, put you in my will, will
Baby let's forget the money, forget the money
Where you're winning
Baby we could chase the sun, you got me gunning
Pull my trigger
Baby let's forget the money, forget the money
Where you're winning
Baby we could chase the sun, you got me gunning
Pull my trigger
Oh oh oh, oh ohoh
Oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of My Trigger by Miike Snow are about wanting to be with someone without any financial considerations. The first verse mentions the singer seeing the love interest licking a dollar bill and being in the graveyard if looks could kill. However, they would not be murdered, as the love interest only shoots to thrill. The singer is so taken with the person that they would put them in their will if they "did," suggesting that they are worth a lot. The chorus repeats the idea of forgetting about money and chasing the sun together.
In the second verse, the singer mentions the judgment that has been placed on their love interest's body, but they believe that their body is a portal where peace begins. They promise to give the love interest more and take a spin together, suggesting a thrill-seeking nature. Finally, the chorus repeats once more, with the singer suggesting that their dreams have come true and they are waiting in their car for the love interest to join them.

I saw you licking a dollar bill
I witnessed you doing something reckless and unconventional
I'm in the graveyard if looks could kill
Your intense gaze is so powerful that it could kill me
But murder ain't your thing, you just shoot to thrill
You enjoy taking risks and living on the edge, but you don't have the desire to harm anyone
But if you did, put you in my will, will
Even if you were to harm someone, you are so important to me that I would still leave you something in my will

They say your body is full of sin
Society has deemed you immoral and corrupt
But they can't see the world that we're in
They are not aware of the unique circumstances and experiences that we share together
Your body is the portal where peace begins
Your presence brings me calmness and serenity
I give you more, we can take a spin, spin
I can offer you even more excitement and adventure in our relationship
I got paid and all my dreams came true, true, true
I recently came into a large sum of money and my dreams have finally been realized
Now we're waiting in my car for you, you, you
We are eagerly anticipating your arrival
Baby let's forget the money, forget the money
Let's not let material possessions control us
Where you're winning

I'm worried about my addiction to this song. I have listened to it all day, every day, for at least four months now. It never gets old. And the video is spot on. You know when songs just enter your life at the exact right moment? I feel the same about the video. Everything is so spot on and well done. It kills me. I've learned almost every musical part in the song except the synths.
