Pirates
Muchuu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They stole our treasure.
Now time to take it back.
Tear up the pages.
Before the clouds turn black.

They stole our treasure.
Now time to take it back.
Tear up the pages.
Before the clouds turn black.

Cymbals crashing high in the sky.
Electric flashing.
Faces laughing no one knows why.
Cymbals crashing.
Covers gleaming spotlight shine.
Hold your breathing.
Never asking no-one knows why.
Covers gleaming.

Their words mean nothing.
I can hear them running.
Their words mean nothing.
Chase lies away.
Stampede of nothing.
I can hear them running.
Stampede of nothing.
Chase lies away.

Send it spinning watch them creep.
Watch them winning.
Tears leaving nothing to keep.
Send it spinning.
Pages opening pages weep.
Save your silver.
Words are empty nothing to keep.
Save your silver.

Their words mean nothing.
I can hear them running.
Their words mean nothing.
Chase lies away.
Stampede of nothing.
I can hear them running.
Stampede of nothing.
Chase lies away.

They stole our treasure.
Now time to tack it back.
Tear up the pages.
Before the clouds turn black.

They stole our treasure.
Now time to tack it back.
Tear up the pages.
Before the clouds turn black.
They stole our treasure.
Now time to take it back.

Tear up the pages.
Before the clouds turn black.
Before the clouds turn black.
Before the clouds turn black.
Their words mean nothing.
I can hear them running.
Their words mean nothing.
Chase lies away.
Stampede of nothing.
I can hear them running.
Stampede of nothing.




Chase lies away.
Chase lies away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Muchuu's song Pirates describe a tale of loss, revenge, and determination. The singer of the song begins by declaring that their treasure has been stolen and it's now time to take it back. They plan to tear up the pages before the clouds turn black, which could be interpreted as a sense of urgency, knowing that time is running out before something terrible happens.


As the song progresses, the singer reveals that the thieves' words mean nothing, and they can hear them running away. The stampede of nothing could be interpreted as the realization that the thieves have nothing to offer, and they are running away like cowards. The singer urges them to chase lies away and save their silver, which could be seen as a metaphor for their integrity and values that are under attack.


The song paints a picture of chaos and confusion, with cymbals crashing, electric flashing, and faces laughing without a reason. There's a sense of suspense and anticipation, as if something is about to happen. The overall message seems to be that even when everything seems lost, there's still hope, and we should fight to regain what's rightfully ours.
