She's a Thief
Owen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it looks like it just might today
And you grab your keys
You're out the door
Before you know where you're going.
If blame, as they say, is for god and little kids
Then you're deserving of praise or a slap on the wrist
For your long face
Not a day passes that you don't fold your hands
And ask St. Francis to find the lust for life
That you lost when she left
With your tongue and your last breath
She's a thief with an eye for nice things
Not a day passes that you don't close your eyes
And ask St. Francis to find the love of your life
That you lost when she left
You dumb fuck, your life's a mess
Without her to tell you what to say
Or when to breathe
Or what you'll need
Or where you're going.
The opening lines of "She's a Thief" by Owen paint a picture of someone dealing with a difficult situation, possibly a breakup. The raincoat and keys suggest leaving the house, but it's unsure where the person is headed. The lyrics quickly move into a state of self-blame and questioning, as the person wonders if they deserve praise or punishment for their present situation. The singer feels powerless, lacking in the "lust for life" that they once held when their partner was around. The phrase "she's a thief with an eye for nice things" is used to describe the ex-partner, who is characterized as taking what they wanted and leaving the singer feeling empty and lost. The song ends with a harsh criticism of the singer, who is seen as incapable of managing their life without the guidance of their ex.
Line by Line Meaning
You put on your raincoat
You prepare yourself for the rain, both literally and metaphorically
'Cause it looks like it just might today
There's a chance of difficult times ahead
And you grab your keys
You are ready to leave and face the challenges ahead
You're out the door
You take action and face your problems head-on
Before you know where you're going
You're unsure of what the future holds, but you're determined to keep moving forward
If blame, as they say, is for god and little kids
Blame is a childish and ineffective way to deal with problems
Then you're deserving of praise or a slap on the wrist
You understand the value of taking responsibility for your actions
'Cause you can't help but blame yourself
You take responsibility for your mistakes and shortcomings
For your long face
Your emotions weigh heavily on you, affecting your mood and outlook on life
Not a day passes that you don't fold your hands
You pray for guidance and strength to overcome your struggles
And ask St. Francis to find the lust for life
You seek motivation and the desire to live life to its fullest
That you lost when she left
Your ex-partner's departure left you feeling empty and unmotivated
With your tongue and your last breath
She took your words and your life away with her
She's a thief with an eye for nice things
She took more than just your belongings, she also stole your happiness and motivation
Not a day passes that you don't close your eyes
You pray for love and companionship
And ask St. Francis to find the love of your life
You seek a romantic partner who will love and support you
That you lost when she left
Your ex-partner was the love of your life, and her departure left you feeling lost and alone
You dumb fuck, your life's a mess
You criticize yourself and feel like a failure
Without her to tell you what to say
You relied on her for guidance and direction
Or when to breathe
You feel lost and overwhelmed without her presence in your life
Or what you'll need
You struggle to make decisions and prioritize your needs without her input
Or where you're going
You feel directionless without her influence in your life
