Slab of Butter
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fucked up
I'm 'bout to get fucked up, wanna get fucked up?
Fucked up
I'm 'bout to get fucked up, wanna get fucked up?
Fucked up
I'm 'bout to get fucked up, wanna get fucked up?
Fucked up
The only laws I obey, the ones I'm makin' for myself
So why you make me play on the road to something else?
Self control is not something I'm working on
We fuck, you turn me on, is all I can say about you
I feel like a slab of butter that is melting in the Sun
Aggression melts away now that you and me are one
Now that you and me are one
Now that you and me are one
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
Make sure made a hole and now it's open full of sweat
Like a scorpion, I'm fire, stay in my summer den
I get extinguished, it is instinctual
You turn me on, is all I can say about you
I feel like a slab of butter that is melting in the Sun
Aggression melts away now that you and me are one
I feel like a slab of butter that is melting in the Sun
Aggression melts away now that you and me are one
Now that you and me are one
Now that you and me are one
You turn me on
You turn me on
Oh
The song "Slab of Butter" by Miley Cyrus feat. Sarah Barthel is an ode to indulgence and liberation. The chorus states "I'm 'bout to get fucked up, wanna get fucked up?", repeating the phrase "fucked up" multiple times, suggesting that the characters in the song are ready to let loose and have a good time. The second verse, "The only laws I obey, the ones I'm making for myself. So why you make me play on the road to something else?," implies that the characters in the song are following their own desires and instincts rather than societal norms or expectations. The repeated line "You turn me on" makes the song seem like it's about sexual attraction, which is further emphasized by the line "Make sure made a hole and now it's open full of sweat", suggesting that they are physically connected.
However, the metaphor of feeling like a "slab of butter that is melting in the Sun" adds depth to the song. Butter is known for its smooth and warm texture, and melting in the sun can represent the loss of structure or control. This could be interpreted as the characters giving into their desires and surrendering to the moment, or it could represent vulnerability and the fear of losing oneself. The line "Aggression melts away now that you and me are one" could also suggest that the characters are finding comfort and connection with each other, which lessens any aggressive tendencies.
Overall, "Slab of Butter" is a song about the joy of self-indulgence and the liberation that comes with connecting with someone without inhibition. The metaphor of butter melting adds complexity by adding a layer of vulnerability and loss of control.
