Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love her when we fuck we
Get down twist and burn
I love it hurt me betray
Wind me up I kinda thought
That we were meant to be
I really thought that you were
The one for me hell I'm in
Freedom it's not given so
So I'm takin'
Rebecca Owen's song Sidewinder is a raw and honest portrayal of a tumultuous relationship, as expressed through its sexually charged and emotionally intense lyrics. The opening lines "She's so blue been so cold" suggest that the singer's lover is distant and aloof, perhaps suffering from depression or some other emotional turmoil. However, the singer finds passion in the physical aspect of their relationship, describing their lovemaking as a frenzied and intense experience of twisting and burning.
Despite the intense physical connection, the singer acknowledges the pain that this relationship causes her, saying "I love it hurt me betray/Wind me up." This echoes the theme of destructive love that has been explored in many songs throughout musical history. The singer expresses her belief that this is the person she was meant to be with, despite the difficulty of the relationship, and her desire for freedom in spite of this. Ultimately, the singer declares her independence, saying "Freedom it's not given so/So I'm takin'", suggesting that she is ready to move on from this relationship, no matter how much it hurts.
