What's The Matter?
Rekevin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just give me a chance
To tell you all
I think of this romance
What is your role:
A victim or a hunter?
I need to know
To play my part
So let us imagine
You are the victim
You want to be hunted
And crushed by me
I can chase you
Till you are breathless
Till you vanish
So try my embrace
Am I mistaken?
Are you the hunter?
Attractive monster
All girls are yours
Me too, I can seem weak
A tender kitten
To satisfy
Your appetite
The song "What's The Matter" by Rekevin speaks to the complexities of a romantic relationship and the power dynamics at play between the two individuals involved. The singer is seeking to have a conversation with their partner where they can express their feelings and understand the other person's intentions. They ask, "What is your role: a victim or a hunter?" which suggests that they may feel as though they are being pursued or held at the mercy of the other person. The singer is trying to determine how they fit into the relationship and what their role is, in order to play their part.
The lyrics take on a unique twist when the singer begins to imagine different scenarios in which the other person could be the victim or the hunter. They describe how they could "chase you Till you are breathless/Till you vanish," which would imply that the singer is the hunter in this scenario. However, it's unclear who fits into which role as the song progresses. The singer hints that they too can appear to be weak and tender like a kitten, satisfying the other person's appetite.
