Son of a Gun
Nirvana攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up, up, up and down
Turn, turn, turn around
Round, round, round about
And over again

Gun, gun, son of a gun
You are the only one
Makes any difference to what I say

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

Up, up, up and down
Turn, turn, turn around
Round, round, round about
And over again

Gun, gun, son of a gun
You are the only one
Makes any difference to what I say

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

Up, up, up and down
Turn, turn, turn around
Round, round, round about
And over again

Gun, gun, son of a gun
You are the only one
Makes any difference to what I say

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play




The raining always starts
When you go away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Son Of A Gun" by Nirvana are somewhat cryptic, open to interpretation. One possible reading of the lyrics is that the singer is in a volatile, possibly toxic relationship. The repeated refrain of "Gun, gun, son of a gun / You are the only one / Makes any difference to what I say" could be an indication that the singer feels controlled or overpowered by their partner. The references to the sun shining and the rain starting could represent inconsistent emotions, perhaps reflecting the instability of the relationship.


The repetition of "up, up, up and down / turn, turn, turn around / round, round, round about / and over again" further emphasizes the cyclical nature of the relationship. The song's lyrics may be intentionally abstract or nonsensical, with the emphasis on the sound and rhythm of the words rather than their meaning.
