Shake
Odd Couple Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday
I could kick (I could kick)
A thousand people
In their faces

This is life
Boring and tight
Thats why I need
To dance

Shake
Shake

They walk on by
Thoughts hold me tight
I'm alive
But dying

In some eyes
I see they try
To get out
To dance

Shake
Shake




Shake
Shake

Overall Meaning

The Odd Couple's song Shake seems to be a reflection on the monotony of life and the need for an escape from its dreariness. The lyrics suggest a sense of frustration with the way things are and a desire for something more exciting. The opening line, "Everyday, I could kick a thousand people in their faces" expresses a feeling of pent-up anger and aggression, as if the singer is ready to lash out at the world around them.


The chorus, "Shake, Shake" seems to be a call to action, an urging to break free from these feelings of boredom and frustration and find release in movement and dance. The lines, "This is life, boring and tight, that's why I need to dance" reinforce this idea, as if the singer is trying to find meaning and joy in an otherwise bleak existence.


The second verse touches on a feeling of being trapped, with the line "thoughts hold me tight". Despite feeling alive, there is a sense of something dying within the singer. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the observation that "in some eyes I see they try to get out to dance", suggesting that others share this desire for liberation.


Overall, Shake is a nuanced exploration of the complexities of human emotion, with a focus on the struggle to find meaning and joy in an often dull and mundane world.
