Moose Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About being drunk and I
Just sit outside ...
It's too late, he's just all over the place
And you know this one ain't like the last one
And I can't believe that he stole the car
He left the keys, but he's got a good heart
It's time to pack it in
You've gotta give it all for him
This one ain't like the last one
When's this gonna end?
This one ain't like the last one
So what you doing around here again?
What did you tell your friends?
I heard you tell your friends
That I'm the one who don't mind
Of course I mind
The opening verse of Moose Blood’s Sway hints at a familiar story of writers block, but quickly establishes that the subject matter of this potential new song is anything but original. The writer laments their propensity for writing about being drunk and sitting outside, acknowledging that they are guilty of not quite knowing what else to write about. The song thematically centers around the idea of repeating mistakes, as highlighted by the line “And you know this one ain’t like the last one”. The narrative perspective is that of someone dealing with a friend or loved one who continues to make reckless decisions and never seems to learn.
The second verse introduces a specific example of the recurring theme of irresponsible behavior, with the friend in question stealing a car. The singer of the song acknowledges that this friend does have a redeemable quality- a good heart- but ultimately highlights the danger of such behavior. The bridge of the song revisits the idea of repeating mistakes, with the writer questioning whether the behavior will ever change. The final lyrics of the song express frustration with the friend’s lack of change, and the realization that this experience- and the resulting song- is merely a repetition of previously written material.
