Puppykicker
Nora Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It consumes my thoughts and haunts my solitude,
We cover it up as best we can't hide ourselves.
Hope and ideals are just that,
But the pain and the sorrow is real.
We can't see it coming but I know where it's been
And I can see what it's done and I know how this is going to end.
Eventually all our pets will run away or die and then where will we be.
Creation was kind and we learned to live on lies

And I wish I could feel the other way.
I feel the pain.

Our smiles are lies, our smiles are lies,
Our smiles are lies, shouldn't we be ashamed..

Overall Meaning

Nora's song "Puppykicker" revolves around the theme of hiding one's true emotions and thoughts, which are often filled with pain and sorrow. The opening lines "It consumes my thoughts and haunts my solitude, we cover it up as best we can't hide ourselves" depicts the desire to hide one's feelings from the world, in order to appear strong and unbreakable. The line, "Hope and ideals are just that, but the pain and sorrow is real" highlights the idea that in a world filled with false hope and idealistic dreams, the reality of life is often painful and sorrowful.

As the song progresses, Nora hints at the idea that we create a facade of happiness and bliss, while ignoring the harsh realities of life. It is possible that Nora is referring to the overconsumption of social media and how it has resulted in people faking their happiness to appear perfect. The stanza "Our smiles are lies, our smiles are lies, our smiles are lies, shouldn't we be ashamed" is a powerful reminder that pretending to be happy when we are not is a disservice to our true self.

The most heartbreaking aspect of the song is perhaps the reference to the mortality of our pets. "Eventually, all our pets will run away or die and then where will we be" reminds listeners that the pain of losing a beloved pet is real and that life is fleeting.
