Folie á Deux
S.H.O.K.K. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't keep with the tightest lips
You're words are like candy
I swallow them licking your fingertips
My old self dies a little more
With every breath I breathe
I'm so filled with your fear and love
My muscles ache for atrophy
And you'll wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
In Hell
Our chess is played by neurons
On a tortured board with no squares
Our madness is shared by two
It's our chemical warfare
I'll wait for you in my cell
And you'll wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
In Hell
I'll wait for you in my cell
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
In Hell
Folie à deux is our madness shared with you
Folie à deux is our madness shared with you
Folie à deux is our madness shared with you
Folie à deux
It's our madness
It's our madness
It's our madness
I'll wait for you in my cell
And you'll wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
In Hell
I'll wait for you in my cell
And you'll wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
In Hell
The song Folie a Deux by S.H.O.K.K. talks about a shared madness between two people, expressed through the metaphor of a game of chess. The first verse depicts an unhealthy relationship where one person is obsessed with the other, constantly seeking their approval and validation. They are willing to go to great lengths to please their partner, even if it means sacrificing their own identity and well-being. The chorus reveals the depth of their madness, as they both wait for each other in their own personal "cell" in Hell. The repetition of the phrase "wait for me" emphasizes the toxic codependency of their relationship.
The second verse suggests that their madness is caused by a chemical imbalance, as they engage in "chemical warfare" with each other. The metaphor of the "tortured board with no squares" further emphasizes the chaotic and destructive nature of their game. The outro repeats the phrase "Folie a Deux," which is a psychiatric term that describes a shared delusional disorder between two people. This term perfectly encapsulates the theme of the song- that their madness is not only shared but also envelops and consumes them completely.
Overall, the lyrics of the song paint a dark and disturbing picture of a toxic relationship that is fueled by mutual obsession and self-destruction.

You talk like you have a secret
Your speech patterns suggest you're holding something back
I can't keep with the tightest lips
I cannot keep your secrets for long
You're words are like candy
Your words are sweet and entrancing
I swallow them licking your fingertips
I listen intently while you feed me these sweet words
My old self dies a little more
Every moment with you transforms me further
With every breath I breathe
With every inhale and exhale, I become more a part of you
I'm so filled with your fear and love
My emotions are entirely consumed by my fear and love for you
My muscles ache for atrophy
I yearn for the relief of complete inactivity
Our chess is played by neurons
Our mental struggles are a constant battle
On a tortured board with no squares
Our struggles take place in a seemingly impossible landscape
Our madness is shared by two
Our insanity is intertwined and interdependent
It's our chemical warfare
Our internal battles are a result of our inextricable chemistry
I'll wait for you in my cell
I am trapped by my own devotion to you
And you'll wait for me
You are equally imprisoned by our shared madness
Folie à deux is our madness shared with you
Our insanity is not our own, but completely shared between us
It's our madness
Our insanity is a fundamental part of who we are
I'll wait for you in my cell
I am willingly captive to our madness
Wait for me
I am pleading with you to do the same
In Hell
Our madness has taken us to a place of torment and suffering

I remember playing this to friends, they were S.H.O.K.K'd. What a tune !!!
Draco Dominus
Ironic that S.H.O.K.K'd is more gramatically correct than "shook" which seems to be slowly working its way into people's vocabulary! LoL
Andrew J Huddleston
This is SHOKK's best track, probably my favourite all time too.
