Leg‐Hold Trap
Propagandhi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to you the word rhetorical is wrong.
these questions blur the things we need to see and
simplicity beneath a song i try to make her see there
is no way. attempts at comprehension always miss.
she lays her body down and tries to say.
i guests there is no answer to a kiss so then you turn
around, tell me why we have to wait and see.
we always disagree, you just cannot stand to see me free to fly away.
The lyrics to "Leg-Hold Trap" by Propagandhi appear to speak to a strained relationship where there is a struggle to communicate and understand each other. The singer expresses frustration with how easily answers come to the other person, indicating that they may not truly engage with the deeper issues at hand. The use of the word "rhetorical" suggests that the other person dismisses meaningful conversation, perhaps preferring simplicity over addressing complex problems. The singer acknowledges their attempts to make the other person understand something important, but it seems to be in vain as comprehension is always missed.
The mention of laying her body down and trying to say something implies a physical and emotional vulnerability in the relationship. It could symbolize the struggle to express oneself and be heard. The lyrics touch on the futile quest for answers in the face of the power of a kiss, highlighting the limitations of words and the emotional impact one can have on another. The lyrics also depict a sense of resignation and resignation on behalf of the singer, as they acknowledge the constant disagreement and the other person's inability to accept their desire for freedom.
Overall, "Leg-Hold Trap" portrays a tumultuous relationship where one person struggles to be understood and valued for their individuality and desire for independence.

so then you turn around, tell me why we have to wait and see
So then you abruptly change the subject and ask why we must be patient and uncertain.
turn around and you sigh good-bye
You turn away and express your farewell with a sigh.
we always disagree, you just cannot stand to see me free to fly away
We always have conflicting opinions, and you simply cannot bear to witness me liberated and able to depart.
